Happy to share with you our latest #systematicreview led by @diromiza. We found that evidence on gene-diet interactions on CVD is limited and lacks correction for multiple testing, replication, and sample size consideration. bmccardiovascdisord.biomedce…

Study of 90 obese volunteers on calorie restriction got extra benefit from time restriction eating and 40 percent wanted to continue after the 14 week trial period. “To shed the pounds don’t eat after 3pm” thetimes.co.uk/article/to-sh…

To shed the pounds don’t eat after 3pm

It is well known that a late-night snack is not advisable for dieters. Now a study suggests that weight-watchers might benefit from avoiding late-afternoon sna

We need to know more about the new strain of SARS-CoV-2 mentioned by Matt Hancock before drawing any alarming conclusions. Mutations are common in viruses. Previous mutations have not had a great impact on the infectivity of the virus or the seriousness of the illness it causes.

By the way, with gene editing medicines, we seem to entering a new era of: "Molecular Surgery" "surgery" because this is a permanent change to our own body to improve health "molecular" because the thing being changed is DNA in our own cells or organs

In addition of being a major risk factor for #COVID19 morbidity and mortality, obesity might also reduce vaccine efficacy.

Obesity correlates with a dulled immune response to COVID-19, and researchers worry that it might also blunt vaccine efficacy too. go.nature.com/2HvZqK4
How obesity could create problems for a COVID vaccine

How obesity could create problems for a COVID vaccine

Nature - Researchers fear that vaccines might not be as effective in people who are obese, a population already highly vulnerable to COVID-19.

I just took an COVID-19 Abbott antibody test (IGG) and it was negative - despite my viral test being positive back in March. Is this more likely to be a false negative, or does it mean that I did not develop antibodies?🤷‍♀️
