“Without adequate muscle reserve built when young and preserved when old, we more quickly reach a "disability threshold." In this clip, Dr. Stuart Phillips discusses how building muscle reserves under adequate nutrition delays the disability threshold and contributes to more successful aging.”

“Dr. Snyder's laboratory is researching how different types of fiber favor specific bacterial strains that influence health status. In this clip, Dr. Michael Snyder describes how the human microbiome plays a key role in health, immunity, and nutrition.”

“Time-restricted eating and muscle growth Debates around nutrition timing inevitably lead to a discussion on time-restricted eating (TRE). Is it compatible with hard training? Is it better for losing fat?”

Biological aging clocks use DNA methylation patterns and other biomarkers to estimate different dimensions of biological aging, including how old the body appears at the molecular level, how quickly aging-related changes are accumulating, and whether lifestyle or medical interventions may be changing the trajectory of aging.

“Recommended dietary allowances for vitamin D The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academies of Science (formerly the Institute of Medicine) has established recommended dietary allowances, or RDAs, for daily vitamin D (as D2 or D3) intake for all ages and life stages of people living in the United States.”

“Run the longevity report to learn more about genetic polymorphisms influencing the expression of FOXO Background FOX proteins are named for a gene found in fruit flies that causes the insects to have forked structures on their heads (providing the "F") and a particular group of specialized genes – known as a "box" (providing the "OX").”

“One study evaluated dietary factors that increased a person's risk of being hospitalized with gallstones. The study involved more than 4,700 women between the ages of 25 and 74 years enrolled in the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).”

“The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academies of Medicine focuses on an adequate intake of ALA because it can be converted to EPA and DHA. However, the recommended amounts are conservative at only 1.6 and 1.1 grams per day for men and women, respectively.”

“For this reason, nutrition experts recommend eating foods naturally high in EPA and DHA, which are present in fatty fish such as salmon (and their roe), herring, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and tuna.”

“Protein is one of nutrition's most essential and debated topics. It goes far beyond its reputation as the building block of muscle, playing a crucial role in metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and the prevention of diseases like type 2 diabetes and sarcopenia.”
