“A meta-analysis of 49 studies involving 1,863 adults found that protein supplementation during prolonged resistance training produced additional gains in one-repetition maximum strength, fat-free mass, and muscle size compared with training alone.”

“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 a crossover study of 15 healthy adults, a single 0.35-gram-per-kilogram dose during acute sleep deprivation changed brain-energy metabolites and improved selected cognitive tasks.”

“The excerpt also reviews controlled muscle studies: omega-3 attenuated loss during immobilization and increased the amino-acid-stimulated muscle-protein-synthesis response under tested conditions. These findings do not generalize to every dose or population.”

“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.”

“A small randomized trial also found that regular didgeridoo practice improved daytime sleepiness and reduced the apnea-hypopnea index, illustrating how upper-airway muscle training may help some patients alongside established sleep-medicine care.”

“A separate trial of 153 adults found that smartphone-based mindfulness training combining attention monitoring with acceptance reduced daily loneliness and increased social interactions compared with monitoring alone or an active control.”

“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.”

“A separate 46-year study of 5,107 middle-aged men linked each 1 milliliter per kilogram per minute increase in estimated VO2 max with about 45 additional days of life expectancy. High-intensity intervals are one practical way to improve VO2 max.”

“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.”
