“Earlier long-term research in older male physicians found no cognitive benefit, and the main COSMOS trial did not significantly reduce invasive cancer, cardiovascular events, or mortality over a median of 3.6 years.”

“In 5,107 middle-aged men followed for 46 years, moving from very low fitness into progressively higher categories was associated with roughly two to five additional years of life, and each one-unit increase in VO2 max was associated with 45 more days of longevity.”

“Whereas fasting turns off multiple pathways associated with aging, such as mTOR and IGF-1, eating for optimal fitness activates these important processes. The IGF-1 pathway, in particular, plays key roles in growth and is strongly associated with cancer.”

“In the prospective Framingham Offspring Study, people in the highest red-blood-cell DHA group had approximately 49 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease than those in the lowest group.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on Next Question with Katie Couric, she explains how sustained exercise can improve cardiovascular fitness and the heart's ability to fill efficiently during middle age.”

“In later randomized trials, urolithin A improved some laboratory measures of muscle endurance or hamstring strength, but it did not significantly improve key primary outcomes such as six-minute walk distance, muscle ATP production, or peak power.”

“Large treadmill cohorts associate higher measured fitness with lower mortality, while a 46-year study of middle-aged men linked the highest fitness category with about 4.9 additional estimated life-years compared with the lowest category.”

“Reversing the Cardiac Effects of Sedentary Aging in Middle Age—A Randomized Controlled Trial - In sedentary middle-aged adults, 2 years of regular exercise improved heart function and reduced heart stiffness, potentially lowering future heart failure risk.”

“In the five-year Generation 100 trial, adults ages 70 to 77 completed supervised high-intensity interval training or moderate continuous training, demonstrating that structured vigorous exercise can be feasible in older populations when it is introduced progressively and matched to health and fitness.”

“There's a lot of exciting research right now into aging and maximum lifespan, but scientists have really just scratched the surface of the fascinating topic of how to live longer, healthier lives. Relevant Publications Rootzén, Holger, and Dmitrii Zholud.”
