πŸ§ πŸ€” Neuroscience professor reveals 5 key insights to help improve memory.

β˜•πŸŒ™ To ensure a restful night, the ideal time to stop drinking coffee (or other drinks with caffeine) is at least 8 hours before bedβ€”typically no later than 2 PM for most!

🧬🐬 US Navy dolphin studies discovered the longevity-boosting benefits of fatty acid C15:0, which has been shown to help lower LDL cholesterol, reduce body fat, and improve gut microbiome health.

πŸ§΄β˜€οΈ As we move closer to summer, make sure you’re applying sunscreen regularly with an SPF of 30 or more to help prevent skin cancer.

πŸ₯šπŸ” Even with the current bird flu outbreak, the risk remains low for catching the virus from eggs and chickens – just make sure to handle, prep, and cook these goods properly to keep your meals safe!

We often hear about the negative health impacts of consuming too much sugar.

But did you know that the source of your sugar can make a big difference in how your body responds?

A recent review dug into the physiological effects of sugars from various sources. Here's what they found:

  • πŸ₯€ Sugar-sweetened beverages can increase fasting glucose, insulin, and body weight.

  • 🍯 Honey may lower fasting glucose but increase some inflammation markers.

  • πŸ§ƒ 100% fruit juice may bump fasting glucose and HbA1c, but can lower blood pressure, body weight, and some inflammation markers.

  • 🍎 Whole fruit takes the cake, though! It can lower inflammation, blood pressure, and body weight, and even improve glycemic control.

These differences may boil down to factors like:

  • 🌱 Fiber content

  • 🌈 Polyphenols

  • πŸ₯„ Physical structure (liquid vs. solid)

  • πŸ”‹ Nutrient density

So, next time you're craving something sweet, consider reaching for a piece of fruit for a healthier sugar rush!
