Whether you are training for a marathon, recovering from a heavy lifting session, or navigating a high-stress work week, your body relies on internal defenses to keep you moving
Notably, recent research suggests this relationship is bi-directional: aging causes circadian/sleep disruption, and conversely, circadian disruption can accelerate aspects of aging ( Given these insights, there is intense interest in identifying interventions that can stabilize or strengthen circadian rhythms in older people
Figure 1 2 Targeting gut microbiota for ALD Studies have confirmed that the progression of ALD is modulated not only by genetic factors, sex, duration and extent of alcohol abuse but also by some potentially modifiable factors, especially the gut microbiota, which provides insights for the mechanistic exploration and therapy of ALD ( Alcohol intake or exposure disrupts the ecological balance of the gut microbiota in many ways, and gut microbiota dysbiosis promotes ALD progression through complex mechanisms ( Figure 2 )
Further research would be required in this field
