“When most people think about certain lifestyle factors that affect insulin sensitivity and blood glucose levels, they think about macronutrient composition, or calories, or fasting, or exercise (and lack of), but they don’t often think about sleep.”
Clip
“When mice consume a diet that is high in fat and sugar, they tend to develop metabolic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, much like humans who eat a similar diet.”
Clip
“In more than 25,000 adults who reported no structured exercise, about three short vigorous bouts per day were associated with 38 to 40 percent lower all-cause and cancer mortality and 48 to 49 percent lower cardiovascular mortality compared with no vigorous bouts.”
Clip
“In a small crossover trial involving people with insulin resistance, six one-minute intense intervals performed before the three main meals improved daily glucose control compared with one continuous 30-minute session.”
“Martin Gibala, Bill Harris, and Peter Attia about three proven ways to promote health and longevity: boosting cardiorespiratory fitness, ensuring you're getting plenty of omega-3 fatty acids, and maintaining healthy blood glucose levels.”
“A more useful approach is to focus on what you can do to reduce its effects. In this Aliquot, Dr. Kelly Starrett explains why standing more is not enough, how to build movement into your workday, and why it matters for long-term mobility.”
“Coordination of meal timing with the circadian rhythm can reduce markers of inflammation and affect aspects of metabolic health, including glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity. Animal studies suggest that overnight fasting induces autophagy.”
“Eating a typical Western diet – high in processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages – raises blood glucose and insulin levels, promotes inflammation, and contributes to many neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease.”
“Continuous glucose monitors – CGMs, for short – are wearable devices that measure blood glucose levels through a tiny sensor placed under the skin. The CGM communicates with your smartphone and provides nearly real-time information about your blood glucose levels.”
“Advanced glycation end-products, or AGEs for short, are created when the sugars, amino acids, and fats in food encounter heat. AGEs also form in the body during normal glucose metabolism. However, if high levels of AGEs accumulate in the tissues and blood, they can become pathogenic.”
