“In this way, long-term exercise training leads to more and healthier mitochondria. Mitophagy is a similar process to autophagy, which is enhanced during intermittent fasting or periods of low energy availability.”

“The comparison depends on what a dietary fat replaces. Randomized trials show that replacing palmitic acid, a common saturated fat, with unsaturated fats lowers LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B without a consistent effect on glucose, insulin, or C-reactive protein.”

“In 25,241 adults who reported no structured exercise, a median of three one- or two-minute vigorous lifestyle bouts per day was associated with 38% to 40% lower all-cause and cancer mortality and 48% to 49% lower cardiovascular mortality.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Diary of a CEO, she explains how carbohydrate restriction, fasting, and prolonged exercise can shift metabolism toward fatty acids and ketones. Beta-hydroxybutyrate can cross into the brain and provide an alternative fuel.”

“In a randomized crossover trial, three weeks of sugar-sweetened beverages increased fasting glucose, C-reactive protein, and atherogenic LDL features in 29 healthy young men. An enriched marine-oil study produced time- and dose-dependent increases in specialized pro-resolving mediators and altered blood-cell responses over 24 hours; it tested biomarkers, not disease prevention.”

“Time-restricted eating can help some people reduce eating opportunities, but controlled trials have not found a consistent visceral-fat advantage over matched dietary counseling or calorie restriction.”
