As we get closer to the holiday season, this review returns to its monthly format after a brief foray into a bi-monthly issue. Now that I have caught up with these reviews, we will take a look at how 16:8 time restricted eating in healthy, normal weight individuals can still reduce weight and fat mass, as well as improve the immune system and make their gut microbiome younger; how ergothioneine could improve cognition in older individuals with mild cognitive impairment; and for the first time, […]
