“Excess body fat harms multiple organ systems, including the central nervous system, potentially accelerating brain aging. A new study shows that a 1 percent weight loss delays brain aging by nearly nine months.”

“The treatment group engaged in supervised HIIT three times a week while reducing caloric intake. The researchers assessed the participants' liver fat, measured blood biochemistries, and evaluated insulin sensitivity before and after the intervention.”

“> "We found changes in those genes too, which suggests that altered DNA methylation as a result of physical activity could be one of the mechanisms of how these genes affect the risk of disease," says Tina Rönn, adding that this has never before been studied in fat cells and that they now have a map of the DNA methylome in fat.”

“Female mice were fed either a high-fat diet (45 percent fat) that induced obesity or a normal-fat diet (10 percent fat) that maintained normal weight. Their eggs were collected, fertilized in the lab, and implanted into either lean or obese surrogate mothers.”

“In healthy cells, fat synthesis and autophagy are allowed to occur for about 12 hours a day...and are part of a normal, healthy metabolism. The rest of the time, these processes are low so that the cells are not flooded with excessive fat synthesis and recycled nutrients.”

“The net weekly caloric intake is a deficit for cutting and surplus for bulking. Carb/work out days will see carb intake between 200-400g depending on body weight. Rest days will have between 80-150g of fat depending on body weight.”

“Research suggests that physical inactivity promotes muscle fat infiltration and progressive muscle weakness, driving sarcopenia – the age-related loss of muscle tissue. However, exercise and appropriate nutritional support may forestall these muscle losses.”

“People in the intensive group also lost an average of 19 kilograms (~42 pounds)—roughly 17 kilograms (~38 pounds) more than those in standard care—and showed greater reductions in body fat, liver fat, and visceral fat.”

“> They can apparently withstand all sorts of harsh conditions, like nutrient or oxygen deprivation and attack by digestive enzymes. In fact, stress may even activate these cells, which would make them excellent candidates for repairing diseased or damaged tissues. Link to academic paper.”
