“The arrival of a new year is a great opportunity to make health-focused resolutions – promises to ourselves that we're going to live better, healthier, and (hopefully) longer. We all age at different rates, however, so our chronological age – the number of years we've lived – often differs from our biological age.”
“Diet stands out as low-hanging fruit for influencing our lifespan. Optimizing macronutrient intake, practicing time-restricted eating, and consuming healthful bioactive compounds are critical aspects of a healthy diet. In part II of this two-part Aliquot, Drs.”
“Since then, the body of research enumerating the profound anti-inflammatory and generalized health-promoting qualities of omega-3s continues to grow; however, some studies fail to show any effects from omega-3 supplementation.”
“In this Aliquot, we share a variety of segments from different interviews covering some of the unconventional effects of omega-3 fatty acids and how to overcome some of the roadblocks to obtaining these effects.”
“Exercise is a huge driver of how well we age because it induces profound molecular shifts that support immune health and might even protect our telomeres – indicators of aging. Exercise might help forestall certain age-related diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, too.”
“Building muscle mass in one's early years is essential for staving off the age-related loss of muscle mass and may promote longevity. In this Aliquot, Dr. Stuart Phillips discusses the importance of building muscle through resistance training and why starting early is important.”
“Having sufficient muscle mass markedly reduces a person's risk of dying prematurely. Although some studies suggest that eating less protein promotes longevity, those studies might not take into account the periods of disuse and disability that often occur in real life.”
“In part one of this two-part Aliquot, Dr. Stuart Phillips and I talk about the role of nutrients and supplements in promoting muscle protein synthesis and subsequent increases in muscle mass and strength.”
“Performing time-efficient workouts that involve supersets, paired sets, drop sets, and multi-joint exercises decrease training time while providing the minimum effective dose necessary for muscle hypertrophy.”
“Individual responses to diet can be influenced by a person's genetic makeup, however. Knowing a person's genetic factors influencing their response to diet may be beneficial component of a multi-part strategy developed in coordination with professional care for keeping ApoB in check.”
