“Relationships are a recurring part of that picture. A meta-analysis of 148 prospective studies found that stronger social relationships were associated with better survival, although relationship measures and populations varied.”

“A large network meta-analysis of randomized trials found benefits from walking or jogging, strength training, yoga, and other exercise formats. Exercise can complement psychotherapy, medication, social support, and other forms of clinical care.”

“A new meta-analysis found no link between saturated fat consumption and heart disease but did find that a Mediterranean diet (41% fat) supplemented with at least 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil or a handful of nuts lowered the risk of cardiovascular events by 30% compared to a low-fat (37% fat) diet.”

“The authors of the review conducted a meta-analysis of 14 studies involving more than 680,000 participants living in North America, Europe, and Asia. They found that as concentrations of particulate matter increased, the risk of depression and suicide increased.”

“A large meta-analysis found that organic crops tended to contain higher concentrations of several phenolic compounds, lower cadmium, and fewer detectable pesticide residues, but no single nutritional pattern applies to every fruit or vegetable.”

“A meta-analysis of 42 trials found that interrupting sitting reduced post-meal glucose and insulin, while small trials found improved cardiorespiratory fitness after brief stair-climbing sessions and increased muscle-protein-synthesis signaling after walking or squat breaks.”

“Dietary fat also matters to steroid-hormone physiology: a meta-analysis found modestly lower testosterone on low-fat diets than higher-fat diets, without establishing that saturated fat or any one food should be used as a testosterone treatment.”

“A meta-analysis of 49 resistance-training studies found small additional gains from protein supplementation, with fat-free-mass gains leveling near 1.6 grams per kilogram per day in the studied populations.”

“Short bouts of movement provide another route for glucose disposal. A meta-analysis of eight crossover trials found that exercise after a meal reduced glucose excursions more than exercise before eating or inactivity.”

“The brain also uses the creatine-phosphocreatine system. A meta-analysis of 16 randomized trials involving 492 adults found benefits for memory, attention time, and processing-speed time, with creatine monohydrate used across the included studies.”
