“Regarding VO2 max, a measure of cardiovascular fitness, more vigorous HIIT can yield similar or even superior improvements compared to prolonged lower-intensity training, like zone 2 training.”

“Many studies suggest that short-chain fatty acids derived from the gut microbiota promote the expansion of T-regulatory cells, maintain gut barrier function, regulate cytokine production, and support immune cell populations.”

Dr. Eric M. Verdin discusses the roles of the ketogenic diet, beta-hydroxybutyrate, HDAC inhibitors, NAD+, and more in the context of aging.

“A recent randomized-control study showed that babies fed formula fortified with milk fat globule membranes and lactoferrin had accelerated neurodevelopment compared to babies fed normal formula. Breast milk also contains omega-3 fatty acids which are critical for brain development in infants.”

“Longer endurance aerobic exercise seems to be most effective at producing higher levels of FGF21, coinciding with anecdotes you might have heard from runners who have successfully used exercise in this sort of way. Relevant publications Flippo, Kyle H., et al.”

“For instance, while the U.S. has high obesity rates, its rates of type 2 diabetes remain modest compared to countries like Singapore, India, and many Middle Eastern nations—populations that, on average, tend to have "fatter fat cells" and therefore develop metabolic complications at lower body mass indices (BMIs).”

“Direct graded exercise testing in an accredited lab is the reference method because it measures oxygen uptake and also reports heart rate, power, lactate, and training-zone data. Dr. Gibala describes submaximal tests as the middle tier.”

“While the alcohol concentration in breast milk is low, infants cannot metabolize it very well and can cause altered sleep habits, decreased appetite, weight gain, low blood sugars, and impaired motor development.”

“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.”

“Addressing the widespread issue of physical inactivity requires exploring strategies to encourage more people to engage in various forms of physical activity, including brief and intermittent activities.”
