“During the peak phase, participants sometimes completed two interval sessions per week, while the longer maintenance phase generally used one interval session alongside continuous endurance work and strength training.”

“EPA and DHA play particularly important roles in heart health because they participate in pathways involved in the production of hormones that regulate blood clotting and inflammation, help maintain healthy heart rhythms, and influence the contraction and relaxation of arteries.”

“Across three randomized COSMOS cognitive studies, a daily multivitamin produced modest average improvements in global cognition and episodic memory in older adults. The global-cognition effect was statistically comparable with about two years less cognitive aging.”

“Long-term population research has identified age-independent declines in testosterone in some male cohorts, supporting the view that changes in men's hormonal health can involve more than aging alone. BPA and phthalates can interact with hormone-related biological pathways.”

“A meta-analysis of 49 resistance-training studies found small additional gains from protein supplementation, with fat-free-mass gains leveling near 1.6 grams per kilogram per day in the studied populations.”

“In more than 2,000 adults ages 51 to 80, higher Sitting-Rising Test scores were associated with longer survival, making floor-transfer ability a useful marker of functional capacity. Floor time can include cross-legged sitting, kneeling, side-sitting, or sitting with the legs extended.”

“Practical steps include avoiding tobacco, minimizing alcohol, maintaining a healthy weight, eating varied plant foods, exercising, using recommended vaccines and sun protection, knowing family history, and following age- and risk-based screening guidance.”

“In a ten-week randomized trial of 16 men with overweight or obesity, high-intensity training produced greater improvements than continuous aerobic training in peak VO2, glucose-tolerance-derived insulin-sensitivity measures, and muscle mitochondrial content.”

“A standard multivitamin may support selected older adults by filling dietary gaps, and population surveys show that many people consume less than estimated requirements for nutrients such as magnesium, calcium, and vitamins A and C.”

“A key component in these processes is the lactate shuttle – a metabolic pathway that facilitates the movement of lactate between tissues so it can be used as an energy source, effectively recycling it and supporting sustained exercise performance.”
