Butyrate, and other short chain fatty acids, are made by beneficial bacteria in the gut, through fermentation of dietary fiber. These SCFAs play a crucial role in maintaining gut health by providing energy for beneficial bacteria,sustaining the gut barrier that prevents leaky gut and certain autoimmune conditions and generally reducing inflammation. This study suggests that increasing gut butyrate availability can improve BP.

Proton Pump Inhibitor Use and Incident Hypertension in Menopausal Women | Journal of the American Heart Association

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the treatment of choice for conditions such as esophagitis and peptic ulcer disease, and they are among the most prescribed medications in the United States. In 2016, one of the PPIs was dispensed more than 70 million times in the United States.

Inappropriate PPI use either due to prolonged use or lacking an appropriate indication has been linked with several adverse events such as bone fractures, pneumonia, and kidney damage, especially in older people. Also Osteoporosis, weakened immune systems, higher risk of gut infections and dysbiosis, protein deficiency and deficiencies of B12, iron, magnesium, and other minerals.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent vasodilator that plays a critical role in blood pressure (BP) regulation.7 Recent studies have shown the importance of the nitrate–nitrite–NO pathway in the production of NO. The conversion of nitrite to NO in the stomach is dependent on the presence of gastric acid.8 PPIs are highly effective in suppressing gastric acid secretion and are hypothesized to affect NO production from nitrate/nitrites.

When it comes to mental health, most treatments for conditions like depression or anxiety come with caveats. Medications work for some symptoms, but can exacerbate others. Cognitive behavioral therapy is effective for many patients, but not all.

But there’s one strategy that seems to work for most people and almost all experts endorse, and that’s regular exercise.

Risk of Neurologic Disorder Rises for People Who Live Near Golf Courses | MedPage Today

Parkinson's

Living within 1 mile of a golf course was associated with more than double the odds of developing Parkinson's disease compared with living more than 6 miles away, found researchers led by Brittany Krzyzanowski, PhD, of the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, reported in JAMA Network Open. May 2025. This was a study done in Minnesota involving 419 Parkinson's cases and 5,113 controls (median age was 72) from 1991 to 2015. They collected data from 139 golf courses and 224 water service areas.

The odds of getting Parkinson's disease decreased by 9% for every 1-mile increase in distance from a golf course, up to 18 miles.

Creatine is a compound that comes from three amino acids. Creatine is found mostly in your body's muscles as well as in the brain. Most people get creatine through seafood and red meat — though at levels far below those found in synthetically made creatine supplements. The body's liver, pancreas and kidneys also can make about 1 gram of creatine per day.

Your body stores creatine as phosphocreatine primarily in your muscles, where it's used for energy. As a result, people take creatine orally to improve athletic performance and increase muscle mass.

People also use oral creatine to treat certain brain disorders, neuromuscular conditions, congestive heart failure and other conditions

Proper hydration is crucial when using creatine to minimize the risk of dehydration and muscle cramps.
