Diet and Biomarker Optimization

Optimizing biomarkers by tracking dietary impact is crucial. Adjusting protein intake has shown correlations with improvements like lowering homocysteine levels. Fish intake, like sardines, played a critical role due to omega-3 fatty acids. Experimenting with legumes, such as chickpeas, helped improve biomarkers like creatinine for kidney function.
