“In a randomized crossover study of 18 young men with overweight or obesity, ten three-minute walking or squat breaks spaced every 45 minutes across 8.5 hours lowered post-meal glucose exposure more than uninterrupted sitting or one continuous 30-minute walk.”

“Recent data from animal studies indicate that time-restricted feeding – even in overweight animals eating a poor diet – has beneficial effects on metabolic health. Studies investigating whether the same benefits will be observed in a real-world setting in humans are lacking, however.”

“When cruciferous plants are crushed or damaged by insect attack or human consumption, the myrosinases hydrolyze the glucosinolates to yield a variety of degradation products, including isothiocyanate compounds.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“In animal models, mice fed a medium-chain triglyceride supplemented ketogenic diet ran farther and faster on a treadmill than animals fed standard chow. In humans, the data supporting the benefit of ketones on performance are less clear.”

“A large dose-response meta-analysis of prospective studies found that greater non-occupational physical activity was associated with lower risks of total cancer and several site-specific cancers, with meaningful benefits appearing below current guideline levels.”

“Resistance training involves pushing or pulling against the resistance of an object, such as weights, bands, or even one's own body weight. It increases muscle mass, strength, and power. Power, the ability to produce force over time, is developed on a foundation of strength but involves a time component.”

“These short studies show rapid metabolic change, not diabetes diagnosis. Habitual short sleep is associated with higher fasting insulin, glucose, HbA1c, and visceral fat, while both short and long sleep are associated with higher type 2 diabetes risk.”

“Part 3 of this series focuses on maximizing and maintaining muscle mass—an essential part of long-term health and fitness—with insights from exercise physiologist and nutrition expert Dr. Luc van Loon and exercise scientist Layne Norton.”
