“Reduced Exertion High-Intensity Training (REHIT) is a variation of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that includes less than a minute of intense exercise within a 10-minute workout. Despite its name, "reduced exertion" refers to the lower perception of effort, not a decrease in exercise intensity.”

“Preliminary findings from a study analyzing UK Biobank data with over 25,000 participants suggest that even 3-4 minutes of VILPA daily could reduce all-cause mortality risk by 25-30%.”

“A few minutes of VILPA per day was associated with lower all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality during follow-up, but the observational design cannot prove that the activity caused the risk differences.”

“But ultra-processing typically removes many nutrients while adding a plethora of chemicals meant to color, flavor, and preserve the food. In this Aliquot, I explain the science behind the risks associated with eating processed foods and offer advice on choosing healthier options.”

“Preclinical studies indicate that repeated weight cycling shifts gut microbes to a configuration with an altered ability to metabolize flavonoids — compounds that usually help promote the burning of excess energy by adipose tissue.”

“Dr. Elinav describes that urbanization profoundly reduces microbial diversity by almost 10-fold compared to people living in hunter-gatherer populations. In this clip, Dr. Eran Elinav highlights several factors that contribute to a diverse microbiome.”

“The arrival of a new year is a great opportunity to make health-focused resolutions – promises to ourselves that we're going to live better, healthier, and (hopefully) longer. We all age at different rates, however, so our chronological age – the number of years we've lived – often differs from our biological age.”

“Modulating autophagy – through fasting and exercise (which both increase acetyl CoA) or intake of nutrients like spermidine – represents a promising therapeutic approach for extending human lifespan and healthspan.”

“A 2022 Environmental Working Group analysis reported that 756 of 766 new food chemicals added from 2000 through 2021, or 98.7 percent, entered through industry GRAS determinations rather than the ordinary FDA premarket food-additive approval process.”
