I break down the study and how to build a fiber-rich plate you will actually enjoy here:

From my Divine Health line: Fiber Zone Powder is a prebiotic fiber that supports gut health, regularity and satiety, and it can be an easy way to add fiber alongside whole foods. divinehealth.com/product/sho…
🔬 Your gut bacteria may change how many calories you actually absorb from your food.
In a controlled study, people eating a fiber-rich, whole food diet absorbed about 116 fewer calories a day than they did on a Western diet. They were not hungrier either.
Here is what I tell my patients: feed your gut well and let your microbiome do part of the work. Beans, vegetables, berries and nuts are a great place to start.

🧠 A 2-year trial found high-dose DHA fish oil reached the brain, but it did not help memory.
In a rigorous two-year study, researchers confirmed the DHA actually got into the brain. Memory still did not improve. It is a good reminder that getting a nutrient to the brain and getting a result are two different things.
Here is what I tell my patients: do not hang your brain health on one capsule. Put your effort into food-first habits like fish, leafy greens, daily movement and sleep, and steward the body God gave you.

🚨 Four minutes a day may be all it takes to help inactive seniors move better.
A new Penn State trial found that a 4-minute daily home routine helped inactive adults over 65 rise from a chair faster and balance longer. It is a short, simple routine you can do at home.
Here is what I tell my patients: strength is something you can keep building at any age. Start small, check with your doctor first, and be thankful for a body made to move.

🔬 Ten different healthy diets were linked to slower biological aging, and they seem to share one surprising secret.
In a study of about 7,500 adults, 10 distinct healthy eating patterns were each linked to slower biological aging, a measure of how fast your body is aging compared with the calendar. The lesson is bigger than any single diet.
Here is what I tell my patients: the best plate is the one you will actually keep eating, so start with a pattern you enjoy and stay consistent.

🔬 After 70, more cellular cleanup is not always better, a new study suggests.
Many people assume autophagy, the body's cellular cleanup process, simply fades with age. A new human cell study found a surprising paradox after 70. Researchers also saw a hint that gentle exercise may help.
Here is what I tell my patients: balance matters more than extremes. Move your body every day, rest well, and care for your body as the temple it is.
