024-Dietary Cycles, Gut Biome, and Cardiovascular Health
These sources collectively explore the intricate relationship between diet, gut microbiota, and human health, particularly focusing on cardiovascular disease and aging. One article suggests that a bile acid, lithocholic acid (LCA), produced by gut bacteria, might be a key factor in how calorie restriction contributes to slowing down aging, providing a potential mechanistic link for age-defying effects. Conversely, other research highlights how another bacterially produced molecule, imidazole propionate (ImP), can actively promote atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque in arteries, even…
