A study of over 100 overweight adults found that those who ate an avocado per day — especially women — had a significant reduction in deep, visceral abdominal fat.

In almost 6,000 adults, eating breakfast regularly and consuming more than 25 grams of daily fiber was linked to an all-cause mortality risk reduction of 21%.

Muscle atrophy progresses more rapidly in the later stages of aging in rat muscles. Long-term caloric restriction delayed sarcopenic muscle atrophy due to aging.

Supplementing aged mice with green tea extract and cocoa significantly improved their survival rates and markers of neuromuscular function. Cocoa also improved neuroprotective markers.
