“Because of alcohol’s effect on other organs and the evidence that any dose of alcohol appears to elevate cancer risk, Dr. Huberman thinks that zero to two drinks per week represents a “safe zone” as long as you’re of age, not pregnant, and not an alcoholic.”

“Evidence suggests lifestyle factors influence a person's dementia risk. Learn how sauna use, exercise, sleep, and dietary components, such as omega-3 fatty acids and sulforaphane exert robust anti-aging effects on the brain, potentially preventing or forestalling dementia.”

“The authors of the meta-analysis reviewed data from 23 randomized controlled studies that investigated the health effects of exercise in people with multimorbidity, defined as having two or more chronic health conditions (arthritis of the knee or hip, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, depression, heart failure, ischemic heart disease, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).”

“For instance, while the U.S. has high obesity rates, its rates of type 2 diabetes remain modest compared to countries like Singapore, India, and many Middle Eastern nations—populations that, on average, tend to have "fatter fat cells" and therefore develop metabolic complications at lower body mass indices (BMIs).”

“Whereas exercise improves insulin sensitivity and promotes cardiovascular health in most adults (responders), exercise exerts a paradoxical effect in which metabolic health is compromised in as many as 69 percent of adults (non-responders).”

“The authors of the study collected urine and blood specimens from the participants and performed MRS scans on their brains prior to the first dose of sulforaphane and within four hours of the final dose.”

“The authors concluded that slower rates of brain atrophy, along with diet and lifestyle factors and low heart disease risk among the Tsimane protect brain health despite high levels of chronic inflammation caused by infection.”

“Early data indicated that the Pfizer BioNTech mRNA vaccine demonstrated 90 percent efficacy in preventing infection from the alpha variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The vaccine is typically administered in two doses, delivered three to four weeks apart.”

“Previous studies have shown that therapeutic plasma exchange via heterochronic parabiosis, a procedure in which two organisms of different ages are joined so that they share a common blood supply, elicits improvements in the older organism and declines in the younger, suggesting that young blood rejuvenates whereas old blood deteriorates.”

“Next, they gave the mice either taurine or bismuth subsalicylate (the primary ingredient in many antidiarrheal medicines) in their drinking water for two to three weeks. They subjected the mice to another infection and again measured the response.”
