People with #MultipleSclerosis who #exercise regularly are able to maintain volume in the hippocampus, a brain region responsible for learning and memory
Now surprising since exercise increases #neurogenesis

As fatigue levels rose “the #MultipleSclerosis group showed continued activation of more posterior regions, vs anterior regions in controls, for the high #cognitive load condition with no improvement in speed.”

If you know me, I am intrigued by the science behind the #fastingmimickingdiet.
Personally, I have used this for 12 months and have seen Improvement in my #MS.

This is so important, type 2 diabetes is highly preventable through physical activity & dietary modification.

[Stephan J. Guyenet @sguyenet]

Meta-analysis of RCTs: "We conclude that [type 2 diabetes] is preventable by changing lifestyle and the risk reduction is sustained for many years after the active intervention (high certainty of evidence)". Yup.

Easy to understand explanation of energy expenditure results debate. Thank you @KevinH_PhD

[Kevin Hall @KevinH_PhD]

Executive Director of NuSI and its Senior Scientific Advisor led a secondary analysis of our NuSI metabolic ward study in @PLOSONE claiming non-chamber energy expenditure (EE) increased ~200-300 kcal/d during a keto diet. Thread.

@wwwfastingchat I'm not sure how much metformin may help, but that is your call as you know your body best. I do like fasting for my MS. I do the fasting mimicking diet developed by Valter Longo. Metformin concerns me because it doesn't impact as many pathways as fasting.

[Dr. Ruth E Grossmann, RN PhD @RuthEGrossmann]

I like that #metformin is being compared to #fasting... known to promote remyelination. #multiplesclerosis #inmice

#vitaminD Be sure to know your levels! Absorption of vitamin D can fluctuate over a period of years. 5000 IU's may be appropriate in your 30s but maybe inadequate in your 40s. (My #PhD was done in vitamin D 🤓)
