Food and Your Health
Recent scientific research highlights the growing importance of nutrition and supplementation in supporting both physical and cognitive health. Three areas receiving significant attention are creatine supplementation, egg consumption, and the impact of ultra-processed foods. Together, these studies reveal how dietary choices can influence energy production, brain function, disease prevention, and long-term cardiovascular health. Creatine is widely recognized as a supplement used by athletes to improve strength and performance, but research now shows its benefits extend far beyond muscle growth. Creatine is naturally produced in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas from amino acids such as glycine, arginine, and methionine. Once transported...

Evidence suggests that both over-hydration and under-hydration can pose serious risks, while the type of fluid consumed may also influence outcomes such as muscle cramping. A study conducted by researchers at Loyola University Health System found that nearly half of recreational runners may be drinking too much fluid during races. Although expert guidelines recommend drinking only when thirsty, the survey revealed that 36.5% of runners drink according to a preset schedule or to maintain a certain...
