Supplementing omega-3 might be one of the simplest ways to extend your lifespan
Research from the Framingham study shows a low omega-3 index (under 4%) carries a mortality risk comparable to smoking
On top of that, studies show that boosting your omega-3 index from low to optimal (~8%) can increase life expectancy by about five years
Yet, nearly 90% of Americans don't meet daily EPA & DHA requirements (~250 mg/day)—easily corrected by eating fish or supplementing with fish oil
Exercise and diet beat drugs for better glucose control.
A new 20-year follow-up from the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) revealed that a healthy lifestyle significantly outperformed the diabetes drug metformin.
Participants who followed an intensive diet and exercise plan saw a 24% lower risk of developing diabetes, compared to just a 17% reduction in those taking metformin. They also stayed diabetes-free longer - 3.5 years versus 2.5 years for metformin users.
What's especially powerful? The lifestyle intervention lasted only 3 years, nearly two decades ago, yet its protective effects continue today.
Good habits create lasting change that drugs alone can't match.

Ultra-processed foods fundamentally disrupt our brain, cellular, and metabolic health.
They now make up nearly 60% of the average American’s diet and contribute to 90% of added sugar intake. Studies link them to hypertension, obesity, cancer—including breast cancer—and increased all-cause mortality.
Kevin Hall’s (@KevinH_PhD) research has shown that when people eat highly processed foods, they consume up to 500 more calories per day.
And the effects happen fast. A new study found that just 5 days on a high-calorie ultra-processed diet led to:
- A 63% increase in liver fat, despite no change in body weight.
- Altered insulin activity in the brain, impairing metabolism.
- Diminished reward sensitivity and reduced white matter integrity in regions controlling motivation, cognition, and impulse control.
The shocking part? These changes—resembling those of a brain from someone with obesity—persisted for up to a week after cutting out ultra-processed foods and returning to a regular diet.
Even in a group of healthy, normal-weight men, short-term overeating of calorie-dense but nutrient-poor snack foods profoundly changed brain behavior and metabolism. Imagine what years or decades of a poor diet can do.

Adam Schefter seems to hint that the #Eagles are also expecting to lose Mekhi Becton (@ 1:20): “It’s going to turn to even more once they lose Mekhi Becton.”

Lifting weights twice a week could outperform antidepressants in treating depression
Just two 25-minute resistance training sessions per week for eight weeks yielded a massive improvement in major depressive disorder, with an effect size of 1.7—far beyond the typical 0.3–0.8 range for antidepressants
Exercise is medicine
Exercise can be more powerful than drugs.
Mounting evidence shows aerobic exercise is more effective at easing mild-to-moderate depression, stress, and anxiety than medication or therapy.
But resistance training also improves depressive symptoms. And the dose of exercise needed to see benefits is incredibly small.
Just two 25-minute resistance training sessions per week can significantly reduce depression symptoms, with results that are more than double the effectiveness of typical antidepressants like SSRIs.
This isn’t to say nobody should use medication to treat their mental health conditions—SSRIs can be beneficial for some people. But since exercise can have similar or better benefits on mental health along with the added benefits on bone, muscle and metabolism—without any of the side effects—it seems like a no-brainer.
In episode 94 of the FMF podcast, listen to @BioLayne discuss why resistance training is essential for mental health.

Bittersweet announcement but after an amazing 2 years as an infectious disease expert I am moving on. I am now an expert in no-fly zones and Eastern European affairs. Excited to make the most of this new opportunity.
Late to this, but this answer from Giannis is incredible.
“When you focus on your past, that’s your ego. When you focus on your future, that’s your pride. When you focus on the present, that’s humility.”
