What can we eat/do to boost this barrier?
- greggsy 2y agoThis is basically the first thing asked by the layman when these types of observations emerge. The replies will almost certainly be regurgitated into a misleading article, which in turn will kick off a damaging trend.
- bloomingeek 2y agoIsn't it time for a serious conversation about the wonderful health benefits of ivermectin? (:
- giardini 2y agoIt's effective against ticks, fleas and mites (cause scabies) and more. Easy to apply (pour on skin/fur at back of neck). Get dosage right: instructions are on the box/container. My cat has a much less scratchy life thanks to ivermectin.

- chung8123 2y agoWhile you are right about the misleading articles that will likely come from this, we do need to pay attention to what we eat so it is a reasonable question and one that should be investigated.
- hirenj 2y agoWe don’t know is the answer. However, if you were coral, then I would suggest increasing the amount of symbiotic algae, which stimulates mucin secretion (probably a nutrient boost). A brain normally doesn’t receive enough sunlight for this strategy to work for humans.

- bamboozled 2y agoMore time in the sun ? :)
- aruggirello 2y agoOr replace bone with glass, ending up like those famous crystal skulls from Mexico. But algae might then bloom and grow in uncontrolled fashion. You'd need plancton then, and maybe krill or even fish too - enter skull aquariums.

- denniskubes 2y agoPrebiotics like Akkermansia help improve the mucin layer in the colon. Lower amounts of these beneficial bacteria actually contribute to gut health. The weird part is Akkermansia actually eats the mucin layer. You would think that would cause a less dense mucous layer, but the presence of Akkermansia actually causes goblet cells in your gut produce more mucin which strengthens the mucous layer. We also know that gut health can and does affect the nervous system.

- nothinggoesaway 2y agoIt's a fair and good question. From "Endothelial Glycocalyx Preservation — Impact of Nutrition and Lifestyle" (2023) [1]: Vitamin D; omega-3 supplementation; dietary sulfur (onion, garlic, leek, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage...); intermittent fasting (edited for formatting) [1] https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10255458/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10255458/
