b'SHR # 2514 :: Diet Modulates Brain Network Stability, a Biomarker for Brain Aging, in Young Adults PLUS Virology 101 - We Can not Wait This Virus Out - Dr. Lilianne Mujica-Parodi, PhD - Epidemiological studies suggest that insulin resistance accelerates progression of age-based cognitive impairment, which neuroimaging has linked to brain glucose hypometabolism. As cellular inputs, ketones increase Gibbs free energy change for ATP by 27 percent compared to glucose. Here we test whether dietary changes are capable of modulating sustained functional communication between brain regions (network stability) by changing their predominant dietary fuel from glucose to ketones. PLUS Even if we stayed quarantined in place for a year, this virus will make its way through the population. And a vaccine will not change that. In fact, if the CV19 is anything like the seasonal flu vaccine, it is going to be less than 55 percent effective for a broad population. We only beat it if we start to come out of hiding.'
