“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 this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's conversation with Derek from More Plates More Dates, she explains how progressive endurance training can improve VO2 max and the heart's ability to fill with blood.”

“In the 521,330-person EPIC cohort, participants in the highest country-specific quartile of coffee intake had lower all-cause mortality over an average 16.4 years than nonconsumers. The association was observational, with hazard ratios of 0.88 in men and 0.93 in women.”

“A meta-analysis of 25 prospective studies associated each additional 10 grams of daily fiber with about a 10 percent lower risk of colorectal cancer, with especially consistent findings for cereal fiber and whole grains.”

“Visceral fat can respond to changes in energy balance and physical activity. A meta-analysis of 40 randomized trials and 2,190 adults with overweight or obesity found that both exercise and calorie restriction reduced CT- or MRI-measured visceral fat.”

“A systematic review in older adults linked Mediterranean dietary patterns with lower inflammatory markers, while a meta-analysis of randomized trials found that vitamin D supplementation reduced acute respiratory infection risk overall, with the strongest protection among people who were very deficient and received regular doses.”

“A meta-analysis of seven randomized trials involving 182 participants found that high-intensity interval training improved flow-mediated dilation by 4.31%, compared with 2.15% after moderate-intensity continuous training, with a 2.26-percentage-point advantage between groups.”

“She uses that result to make consistency practical. Aerobic exercise does not need to be all-out every day, but sessions that raise heart rate and improve cardiorespiratory fitness provide a meaningful brain stimulus.”

“In a randomized crossover study of 18 young men with overweight or obesity, ten three-minute walking or squat breaks spaced every 45 minutes across 8.5 hours lowered post-meal glucose exposure more than uninterrupted sitting or one continuous 30-minute walk.”

“In more than 25,000 adults who reported no leisure-time exercise, a median of three one- or two-minute bouts per day was associated with 38 to 40 percent lower all-cause and cancer mortality and 48 to 49 percent lower cardiovascular mortality compared with no VILPA.”
