“A corrected meta-analysis found no significant mortality protection for low-volume drinking. Global burden modeling found that combined risk increased with consumption and identified zero as the population risk-minimizing level.”

“Vitamin K is important for the prevention of vascular calcification and atherosclerosis, as well as cancer initiation and progression.”

“People with mtDNA levels in the bottom one-fifth of the population were 47% more likely to die of any cause than were those in the top one-fifth. Interestingly, women had an average of 21% more mtDNA than men and could play a small role in why women live two to four years longer than men on average.”

“In the Framingham Heart Study, the highest Omega-3 Index quintile was associated with a 34 percent lower risk of all-cause mortality than the lowest quintile. A later Framingham model also identified the index as a predictor of all-cause mortality alongside established risk factors.”

“Watercress is a cruciferous vegetable that contains a precursor to sulforaphane and other isothiocyanates such as allyl isothiocyanate. I talk about this watercress study and so much more in a comprehensive video on broccoli sprouts and sulforaphane and their effects on cancer, mortality, aging, the brain, heart disease and more!

“Dose depends on temperature, humidity, duration, acclimation, hydration, and health. Finnish cohorts associate frequent sauna with lower cardiovascular mortality but cannot prove treatment effects. An exercise-plus-sauna trial reported greater VO2-max improvement than exercise alone.”

“FTA: > Bacterial pneumonia in adults carries an elevated risk for adverse cardiac events (such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and heart attacks) that contribute substantially to mortality -- but how the heart is compromised has been unclear.”

“Elite fitness (average VO2 max of 48.3 ml/kg/min): lowest risk of all groups. "Increased cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with reduced long-term mortality with no observed upper limit of benefit.".”

“The study found that obese people can expect to lose 3 years of life while the average overweight person will die 12 months sooner than they would have if they were a healthy size. This is the largest study to-date on obesity and mortality, data was compiled from 10.6 million people who took part in 239 studies between 1970 and 2015, in 32 different countries.”
