“Another study in which 22 year old men who engaged in four weeks of high-intensity interval training three days a week and supplemented with 150 milligrams of resveratrol per day, the lowest dose of the studies mentioned so far, did not promote increases in the men's aerobic or anaerobic capacity, exercise substrate utilization, or muscle fiber-specific adaptations compared to exercise alone.”

“Multiple age-related inputs can keep innate immune pathways active, including the senescence-associated secretory phenotype, mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress, debris released by injured cells, visceral adipose tissue inflammation, chronic infections, increased intestinal permeability, and dysbiosis.”

“Many people may find the prolonged fast too onerous, but the fasting-mimicking diet, an approach that recapitulates many of the same effects of prolonged fasting with a hyper-low calorie, low protein, higher fat diet stretched out over a longer interval of five days, may offer a more palatable strategy for activating autophagy.”

“Neurogenesis Whereas the early view of the mammalian central nervous system presumed that it was a static complex incapable of change, a growing body of evidence suggests that it retains its capacity for synaptic pruning – the process that eliminates extra neurons and synaptic connections and establishes new neural circuits to increase the efficiency of neuronal transmissions – throughout life.”

“For example, exposure to ultraviolet B light is the primary source of vitamin D, but behaviors or characteristics that block or reduce sun exposure, such as using sunscreen, having high levels of melanin (a dark pigment found in skin that acts like natural sunscreen), exclusive breastfeeding, older age, or being obese can impair the skin's ability to produce vitamin D3.”

“Manipulation of cellular levels of NAD+ as a strategy for slowing aging "We’ve shown that NMN and others have shown for NR that it also helps with blood flow and actually mimics exercise and regrows the vascular system.” - David Sinclair, Ph.D. As we age, however, the NAD+ levels in our bodies decline, reducing resveratrol's potency.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick covers lithium microdosing, reducing homocysteine, aluminum's link to cancer, and beta-alanine and alpha-lipoic acid supplements.

“Although the findings of a large meta-analysis published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine indicated that there was no evidence to support the notion that consumption of saturated fat increased the risk of heart disease, the studies on which their conclusions were based were primarily observational.”

“New Scientist article. 02:06:10 - Some people, like Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves, seem to defy aging. 02:08:15 - One 12-ounce can of sugar-sweetened soft drink per day shortened telomere length, corresponding to 4.6 years of biological aging.”

“Removing former drinkers from the non-drinker category reveals a different story: One study observed that the lowest risk for cardiovascular disease (i.e., ischemic heart disease) was right below one standard U.S. drink per week — men and women at this level of consumption had an ~18% lower risk compared to nondrinkers.”
