Today’s research paper is a type of study that uses large datasets to examine the relationship between successful treatments for people with COVID-19 and related viral infections. Let’s take a look. Network-Based Drug Repurposing To say that this is complicated is a tremendous understatement, but let’s give it a go. Researchers identified specific targets for […]
Most people understand that melatonin functions as a neurotransmitter and can help with sleep. What is now apparent is that melatonin also has powerful antioxidant capabilities, especially as it’s related to the mitochondria, as well as other neurological functions related to memory, according to new research papers. Researchers used an interesting test of memory in […]
Welcome to 2021! I’m looking forward to teaching you how to be healthier, leaner, and fitter this year—in other words, how to be the best version of yourself. The first day of a new year is always exciting. What I’d recommend is that you use today as well as the rest of the weekend for […]
2020 was one heck of a year for health news. Someone sent me an email with the hope that when 2020 turns 21, it doesn’t start drinking! I don’t know if we would survive it. All kidding aside, we’ve all been impacted whether we caught the virus or not, and it’s time to plan for […]
It’s safe to say 2020 certainly has been challenging; many things have impacted our lives that we really had no control over. The one thing that we could control is how we responded to those challenges. Maybe you forgot that with all the noise from so many sources. Here’s my gift to you. Stop. Take […]
When you consider the research studies I reviewed last week and this week on omega-3 fatty acids, they may seem confusing. The reason is that in both of those studies, they were looking at very specific outcomes. In last Thursday’s memo, it was changes in the quantity of specific cytokines, chemicals that are inflammatory in […]
There was another study this week on omega-3 fatty acids. While the study I talked about last Thursday was small with only 21 subjects, this trial contained over 13,000 subjects from 675 hospitals and clinical centers all around the world. In this five-year study, one of the omega-3 fish oil medications was being tested to […]
Omega-3 fatty acids have been in the science news this week. In this Memo, I’ll take a look at a small study that examined the effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on specific markers of inflammation in 21 subjects between 50 and 75 who had elevated levels of inflammation. Researchers had subjects […]
“What do you think? Will we be wearing masks another year?” That’s the question that someone asked me at the health club. I shrugged and said “Maybe. But you know in reality, it isn’t all that bad. My grandson’s kindergarten class wears masks all day, and they seem to manage just fine.” He agreed it […]
There is currently no research on ways to recover faster if you have chronic symptoms after your initial COVID-19 infection. When this occurs, the best thing we can do is to use what we know to help restore the body as long as it does no harm. That’s the approach I used when putting this […]
