I barely understand the actual research so I tried getting Claude 2 100k to walk me through it. It stresses that the findings are primarily important for guiding future research. Interestingly, when I then asked if there are any actions I could take today to avail myself of the findings I got what appears to be some reasonably well aligned suggestions. However, I’m way out of my depth here. Does anybody know if the following (or any part of the following) is sound or for that matter if it’s terrible? Here’s what I got:
“ Here are some potential ways you could apply the findings from this study in your daily life:
Diet:
- Eat foods rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds like curcumin (turmeric), catechins (green tea), and anthocyanins (berries) that may help reduce inflammation.
- Consume foods rich in NAD+ precursors like nicotinamide riboside or tryptophan to potentially support mitochondrial function.
- Follow an intermittent fasting regimen, which may enhance mitochondrial health and reduce inflammation.
- Limit foods high in saturated fats, added sugars, and processed carbs that can promote inflammation.
Supplements:
- Take supplements that may inhibit cGAS/STING like quercetin, curcumin, green tea extract. However, speak to your doctor first.
- Consider supplements to support mitochondria like CoQ10, nicotinamide riboside, and alpha-lipoic acid.
Lifestyle:
- Exercise regularly as it can reduce inflammation, improve mitochondrial function, and stimulate brain plasticity.
- Practice stress reduction techniques like yoga and meditation which may decrease inflammatory genes.
- Get sufficient sleep since sleep deprivation can increase inflammatory cytokines.
- Challenge your brain with cognitively stimulating activities to potentially promote neuroplasticity.
- Quit smoking, as it increases inflammation and oxidative stress.
However, changes should be made cautiously and discussed with a health professional. While the study provides promising areas to target, more research is still needed to confirm effects in humans.”

Our diets are so poor, I wonder if the benefit comes from eating less or by sticking to a feeding window. But the evidence is for it. It can't hurt you as long as you meet your nutritional requirement during your feeding window. >Limit foods high in saturated fats, added sugars, and processed carbs that can promote inflammation. Most metabolic diseases first line of treatment is diet modification. >cGAS/STING like quercetin, curcumin, green tea extract. However, speak to your doctor first. Do talk to you doctor. Quercetin metabolism does interfere with hormone (I know in men) But it is inflammatory. Green tea extract could hurt kidney so be careful with the source. >CoQ10, nicotinamide riboside, and alpha-lipoic acid CoQ10 is a co-enzyme recommended for heart patients. In healthy adults it can't hurt. Alpha lipoic acid is an essential fatty acid. Salmon/tuna is rich in it or also available in supplement. Do take a quality source because most fatty acid supplement is rancid which can cause more harm than good >Exercise regularly makes sense right >Practice stress reduction techniques like yoga and meditation which may decrease inflammatory genes. stress produces cortisol. Chronic stress causes inflammation. >Get sufficient sleep Regardless of effect on longevity good sleep will just help you feel better >sleep deprivation can increase inflammatory cytokines. this is true >Challenge your brain with cognitively stimulating activities More of a thing for retirees. Thats why they do sudoku puzzles >Quit smoking That big "smoking kill" signs mandated by FDA is kind of for this reason. Damages the epithelium in your blood vessels and causes MI/stroke. Increases lung cancer. It doesn't apply to just tobacco but anything that can be smoked
