“Higher blood omega-3 status is associated with lower mortality and cardiovascular risk in observational cohorts, while randomized supplement results vary by formulation, dose, and population. Higher doses can also increase atrial-fibrillation risk.”

“Omega-3 status may also reflect longer-term health. In 2,240 Framingham Offspring participants followed for 11 years, the omega-3 index was one of four red-blood-cell fatty-acid measures that helped predict all-cause mortality.”

“Supplement risks can depend on the population and formulation. In the CARET randomized trial, high-dose beta-carotene plus retinyl palmitate increased lung-cancer incidence and total mortality in current or former smokers and asbestos-exposed workers.”

“Large treadmill cohorts associate higher measured fitness with lower mortality, while a 46-year study of middle-aged men linked the highest fitness category with about 4.9 additional estimated life-years compared with the lowest category.”

“Whole fruits and vegetables add water, vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, and an intact food matrix alongside fiber. Large cohorts associate higher fruit and vegetable intake with lower total, cardiovascular, cancer, and respiratory mortality, with benefits leveling near five servings per day.”

“1, 2 00:37:28 - Vitamin D regulates over 5% of the human protein-encoding genome. 1 00:39:04 - Mendelian randomization studies show that genetically low plasma vitamin D levels are associated with a higher mortality from respiratory infections.”

“He recommends repeating the same method under similar conditions to track direction of change even when the absolute value is imprecise. The cited mortality cohort establishes the importance of measured fitness, not the validation of this calculator.”

“In contrast, epidemiologic studies have found a positive association between total red meat consumption and CVD-related mortality that typically require years or decades of follow-up but do not determine causality.”

“Check out my podcast with Dr. Laukkanen who discusses this study and his other studies showing frequent sauna use is associated with a 50% lower heart disease incidence, a 40% lower all-cause mortality, and 65% lower Alzheimer's disease risk.”

“Moreover, these findings indicate that even modest weight loss during this time of life reduces the risk of mortality from all causes. Link to full study. Learn more about novel strategies for weight loss in these two clips featuring Dr. Satchin Panda and Dr. Valter Longo.”
