A low-carb diet is best implemented as a temporary strategy to restore metabolic flexibility. Once metabolic flexibility is regained, adding more carbs back in will help to lower cortisol, which is highly inflammatory A narrow time-restricted eating (TRE) window is also counterproductive once you’ve regained metabolic flexibility, as extended fasting also raises cortisol

Playing an Instrument, Singing May Help Preserve Brain Health STORY AT-A-GLANCE Some in the keto and carnivore space argue that eating fats and carbs together will result in weight gain because of the Randle cycle, which serves as a switch that only allows your body to burn either fats or glucose, one at a time, not both together The Randle cycle refers to an antagonism between glucose and fats as fuel, which explains why you can become insulin resistant when you avoid carbohydrates If you’re in chronic ketosis, your tissues decrease their insulin sensitivity, which can lead to or contribute to insulin resistance A low-carb diet is best implemented as a temporary strategy to re...

Senescence in tumours: evidence from mice and humans Manuel Collado 1, Manuel Serrano 1

Senescence is prevalent in premalignant tumours and progression to malignancy requires evading senescence. Malignant tumours, however, may still undergo senescence by interventions that restore tumour suppressors or inactivate oncogenes. Senescent tumour cells can be cleared by immune cells and this may result in efficient tumour regression. Standard chemotherapy also has the potential to induce senescence, whi...
