“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.”

“Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses how conditioning the body to heat stress through sauna use, called "hyperthermic conditioning" may cause adaptations that increase athletic endurance (by increasing plasma volume and blood flow to heart and muscles) and potentially even muscle mass. She also discusses the profound effects of hyperthermic conditioning on the brain including cognitive function.”

“More importantly, however, these effects were sustained – even after several months – demonstrating that sulforaphane did not exhaust the body's capacity to protect itself from environmental threats and suggesting that regular consumption of sulforaphane in foods or dietary supplements provides a kind of nutritional "seatbelt" that protects against future toxic exposures.”

Jim Kean is the CEO of National Pro Grid League (NPGL) and founder of WellnessFX.

“Dr. Schoenfeld presents failure training as an occasional tool for selected exercises and advanced trainees, not a requirement for every set, and he emphasizes that weekly volume can rise as a person pursues more complete gains.”

“paper Strengthening Individual Memories by Reactivating Them During Sleep A common thread between aging-associated loss of slow-wave sleep, accumulation of amyloid-beta, and impairment of hippocampal-dependent of memory The decline of deep, slow wave sleep begins much earlier in life than most people would expect, with losses occurring as early as the late 20s.”

“If your magnesium levels are inadequate, then your ability to boost mitochondrial number during HIT will be dampened, thus, compromising performance and the mitochondrial mass you would have otherwise gained as a consequence of your hard work and effort.”

“Dr. Michael Grandner describes this as the "mind after midnight"— being awake past our normal bedtime biases us toward reward-seeking, negative affect, and weaker executive control, helping explain not only late-night eating (a preference for energy-dense, high-fat, and high-sugar foods) but other impulsive behaviors that occur at this time.”

“However, upon refeeding only lean muscle mass is regenerated. The overall result, a loss of visceral fat without depleting lean muscle mass, is a desirable feature of a prolonged fast, particularly for athletic performance.”

“Reduced Exertion High-Intensity Training (REHIT) is a variation of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that includes less than a minute of intense exercise within a 10-minute workout. Despite its name, "reduced exertion" refers to the lower perception of effort, not a decrease in exercise intensity.”
