“High-intensity interval training (10 minutes of vigorous exercise over a 25 minute exercise period) for 3 months reversed poor heart function in people with type 2 diabetes without any other changes in diet or medication.”

“However, the rs-fMRIs revealed that the different intensities affected different parts of their brains. The low-intensity exercise turned on the activity of brain networks involved in cognitive function and attention processing.”

“Whereas low-intensity exercise activated brain networks involved in cognition control and attention processing, high-intensity exercise activated networks involved in mood. These findings support other data indicating that exercise benefits brain health and suggest that exercise may be a promising modality for use in improving cognitive function and in treating mood disorders.”

“Strength, mixed, flexibility, and mind-body exercise also improved selected outcomes, giving people several ways to build a sustainable program. Diet and selected supplements can complement weight management and exercise.”

“Taking an omega-3 supplement may do more than support heart health—it might enhance the effects of your workout. A recent study found that combining omega-3 supplementation with exercise training improved body composition and cardiometabolic health better than exercise alone.”

“Total daily intake and resistance exercise remain the priorities. A large dose is not simply wasted: after resistance exercise, 100 grams of milk protein produced a larger and longer anabolic response than 25 grams.”

“Evidence suggests that lactate mediates some of the benefits of exercise on learning and memory via inducing neuronal BDNF expression. Learn more about the lactate shuttle and its effects on the brain in this episode featuring Dr. George Brooks.”

“Long-term training can also produce meaningful cardiovascular adaptations. Two years of progressive exercise improved cardiorespiratory fitness and reduced left-ventricular stiffness in previously sedentary middle-aged adults.”

“Findings from a new study show that engaging in moderate-to-vigorous intensity exercise in middle age improves cerebrovascular health later in life. The study involved an ethnically and racially diverse group of more than 1,600 adults (average age, 54 years).”

“The participants engaged in 30 minutes of cognitive training and 60 minutes of exercise three times a week for 20 weeks. Thirty-eight of the participants received vitamin D supplements, while the remainder received a placebo.”
