From the AMMG eJournal, Mediterranean Diet Could Help Women Live Longer, Harvard Study Finds: https://bit.ly/3Pun7SA. "The Mediterranean diet has long been linked to a bevy of health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity and more — and now a new study has revealed a very specific new advantage for women.

In a long-running Harvard study published in JAMA Network Open, women who adhered to the heart-healthy, plant-focused diet were found to have a 23% lower risk of death from any cause.

The researchers attributed this lower mortality risk to improved cardiometabolic risk factors, according to the published study.

The study included data collected from 25,315 healthy women who participated in the Women’s Health Study over a period of 25 years, from April 1993 to January 1996.

Their average age was 54.

Researchers analyzed the women’s blood samples, biomarker measurements and self-reported dietary information from June 2018 to Nov. 2023.

Previous studies have also found associations between the Mediterranean diet and increased longevity, the researchers noted.

“Another meta-analysis of 21 cohort studies, which included 883,878 participants, reported that higher Mediterranean diet adherence was associated with 21% reduced risk of CVD mortality,” they wrote.

What is the Mediterranean diet?

The Mediterranean diet is a plant-based nutrition plan that mimics the regional cuisines of the countries along the Mediterranean Sea, such as Italy and Greece.

Primary foods in the diet include whole vegetables, whole grains, fruits, nuts, seeds, and herbs and spices, according to Mayo Clinic’s website.

Olive oil is the primary source of added fat.

Other foods — including fish, poultry and dairy — can be incorporated in moderation.

The diet limits red meat, sweets, butter and sugary drinks." READ MORE HERE: https://bit.ly/3Pun7SA

From the AMMG eJournal: New Study Linking Low Testosterone to Premature Death in Males: https://bit.ly/3WcZFwT. "A new study by Bu B. Yeap, MBBS, Ph.D., et al, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine on May 14, 2024, questions the long-held belief that testosterone shortens men’s lives. This meta-analysis of 11 studies conducted from July 2019 to March 2024 found that participants with the lowest testosterone levels were more likely to die.

The study’s conclusion states that men with low testosterone, high luteinizing hormone, or very low estradiol concentrations had increased all-cause mortality. It says s*x hormone-binding globulin concentration was positively associated and dihydrotestosterone concentration was nonlinearly associated with all-cause and CVD mortality.

A summary of the study written by Daniel Kelly, a senior lecturer in biochemistry at Sheffield Hallam University and published May 17 in “The Conversation” says in the study, led by a team at the University of Western Australia, the researchers combined the results of 11 high-quality studies (known as a meta-analysis) investigating the effect of testosterone levels on lifespan. The studies followed men for at least five years and found that participants with the lowest testosterone levels were more likely to die.

Kelly notes that death in this study was from any cause, but digging deeper into the analysis reveals that this is mostly due to heart disease – still the leading cause of death in men globally.

Kelly says it is interesting that the same process underlying heart disease might also contribute to erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction often occurs much earlier than symptoms of heart disease and can act as an early warning sign of existing or future heart problems. Testosterone is known to have a large effect on erectile function, again linking levels of this hormone to heart disease." READ MORE HERE: https://bit.ly/3WcZFwT

💙 Methylene Blue: The Clinical Edge in Cognitive & Mitochondrial Support

With over a century of medical history, methylene blue is re-emerging as a powerful tool in modern integrative protocols. Its role in enhancing mitochondrial function, redox balance, and neuroprotection makes it a compelling option for patients facing cognitive decline, fatigue, or oxidative stress.

If you’re looking to stay at the forefront of functional and regenerative medicine, methylene blue deserves a place in your clinical toolbox.
