“As Dr. Phillips says, it's during recovery that "the good stuff happens" – the building of muscle and repairing of damage. Building muscle and maintaining function and strength in youth and midlife can forestall the inevitable periods of disuse and disease that occur throughout life and increase with aging.”

“The exercise protocol that reverses cardiac aging, as described by Dr. Benjamin Levine, involves 5-6 hours of training per week, including a weekly HIIT session, low intensity exercise on recovery days, a longer 60+ minute endurance session and resistance training 2 or more times per week.”

“01:28:50 - Healthy adults who drink 12 ounces of sugar-sweetened soda beverages per day may have accelerated aging as evidenced by shorter telomeres. Study. 01:28:50 - Consuming 75 grams of sugar a day decreases testosterone 25% in men.”

“When cells run out of a vitamin or mineral, that scarce micronutrient is allotted to proteins (in the body) essential for short-term survival. Proteins needed for long-term health, including those that protect DNA, lose out and become disabled and lead to diseases of aging.”

“Blood-brain-barrier dysfunction has been observed with aging, vascular risk, APOE4, and early cognitive impairment, which reinforces the value of managing cardiovascular risk across the lifespan.”

“Known for his work in the field of muscle physiology and aging, Dr. McGlory's research focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying muscle protein synthesis and degradation, with a particular emphasis on the roles that omega-3 fatty acids play in maintaining muscle health in older adults.”

“The findings suggest that the gut microbiota phenotype was present before any overt sign of overweight or obesity. Since the gut microbiota is influenced by diet, this association could also reflect dietary choices that are precursors to obesity.”

“In 2,066 community-dwelling adults ages 70 to 79, participants in the highest protein-intake quintile lost approximately 40% less total and appendicular lean mass over three years than those in the lowest quintile. Higher protein intake is also associated with lower frailty risk.”

“Maintaining muscle mass is one of the most important factors in healthy aging. Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle strength and mass, is associated with frailty and increased fall risk.”

“The greatest benefits were obtained in the lumbar spine, an area that is particularly vulnerable to the damaging effects of bone loss. High-load resistance training involves using heavier weights and performing fewer repetitions (typically 8 to 12 per set per exercise) than ordinary resistance training.”
