“They found that the brain age prediction model accurately predicted the participants' chronological ages. They also found that brain aging slowed by 8.9 months for every 1 percent of body weight loss, an effect linked with improved liver health and reduced liver, visceral, and subcutaneous fat.”

“People in the intensive group also lost an average of 19 kilograms (~42 pounds)—roughly 17 kilograms (~38 pounds) more than those in standard care—and showed greater reductions in body fat, liver fat, and visceral fat.”

“The remainder of their calories came from fat (30%) and carbohydrates (35%). Participants in both groups saw similar improvements in body composition, including an average weight loss of approximately 8 kilograms (~18 pounds) and reduced visceral (abdominal) fat.”

“Findings from a recent study suggest that myokines suppress tumor growth. Myokines are cell-signaling proteins produced in muscles during exercise. Evidence indicates that myokines exert direct anti-inflammatory effects on visceral fat and muscles.”

“Layne discusses a study in which adults who were at retirement age (71 years on average), performed heavy resistance training for 1 year, during which they improved their muscle mass, leg muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat, and mental health.”

“They collected adipose tissue samples from multiple fat depots around the body such as subcutaneous fat (under the skin), visceral fat (wrapped around internal organs), and pericardial and epicardial fat (around the heart) on the day participants underwent bariatric surgery.”

“A large waist circumference may be an indicator of visceral fat – body fat that is stored in the abdominal cavity and plays a central role in the links between obesity and systemic inflammation.”

“In contrast, reductions in waist circumference at 20 weeks were associated with fewer subsequent events in the semaglutide group, possibly highlighting the importance of visceral fat loss (fat surrounding abdominal organs) rather than overall weight loss, which can also include lean mass such as muscle.”

“Among the major clocks, GrimAge is one of the strongest predictors of mortality and disease risk, including all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, frailty, walking speed, polypharmacy, fatty liver, visceral fat, and comorbidity burden.”

“The timing of eating and exercise, especially in elite athletes, hasn't been studied and may, in fact, require self-experimentation by the athletes to identify the perfect interval of fasting to support their optimal performance.”
