PROMOTIONA Gut-Bacteria Intervention
to Help the Heart?When gut bacteria break down
certain compounds found in
high-fat dairy products, egg
yolk, liver, and red meat, they
produce a chemical called tri-
methylamine-N-oxide (TMAO),
which has possible links to
cardiovascular disease. Re-
searchers gave mice a substance
that blocked gut bacteria’s pro-
duction of TMAO. A single dose,
which reduced TMAO levels for
three days, was enough to lower
the risk of stroke, heart attack,
and blood clot formation.Cycling Can Give You
the Immune System of
a 20-Year-OldResearchers studied
125 active cyclists ages
55 to 79, analyzing their
blood for markers of
T cells, which are known
to help the immune system
fight infections. Not only
did the cyclists show higher
T cell activity than inactive
men and women in the
same age-group, but they
also produced the same
level of T cell activity as
lju adults in their 20s.
