A new study indicates strawberries reduce blood vessel inflammation by decreasing harmful Coprobacillus gut bacteria and boosting beneficial Lachnospiraceae

What other foods increase Lachnospiraceae gut bacteria? 🧵 tinyurl.com/4max8s8jImage
Did you know Lachnospiraceae ferment dietary fiber to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, propionate, and acetate... Image
SCFAs are beneficial because they support:
1. Gut lining & reduce inflammation
2. Metabolism & insulin sensitivity
3. Healthy cholesterol levels & blood pressure
4. Decrease appetite via BHB-Phe (see previous post)
5. Benefit brain health via the gut-brain axis Image
To increase Lachnospiraceae eat more:

1. Dietary fiber from fruits, vegetables, whole grains & legumes

2. Polyphenol-rich foods, e.g. strawberries, blueberries, matcha green tea & dark chocolate... Image
3. Prebiotics e.g. inulin, garlic, onions & asparagus

4. A capful of unfiltered apple cider vinegar

And avoid antibiotic overuse! Image
Here's the paper:

NEW STUDY: Only 14 centenarians in this study but higher heart rate variability (SDNN) was associated with longer life.

How do you know your SDNN? 🧵 Image
In 14 centenarians followed until death, only SD of normal-to-normal interval (SDNN) showed significant correlation (ρ = 0.536; p = 0.048) with survival prognosis Image
The Oura Ring (no affiliation) measures SDNN. While they primarily focus on RMSSD (Root Mean Square of Successive Differences) and 5-minute samples for HRV analysis,the app also provides an average per night SDNN
