Exercise reverses sarcopenia [and does many other good things] via apelin, a local autocrine myokine/exerkine: https://t.co/BTrYQuzHkM OR if you want to sell a drug "The exerkine apelin reverses age-associated sarcopenia" #NatureMedicine

Time-restricted eating (breakfast 90 min later and dinner 90 min earlier) resulted in improved blood glucose levels and twice as much fat loss than people who ate their meals as normal. However, caloric intake decreased & may account for some improvements. https://t.co/EpO4S8v42A

Men that routinely engage in either endurance or resistance training had lower cardiovascular stress and did not increase their heart rate as much as untrained men did when put under high social or psychological stress. https://t.co/UyDpN1ClLM

Maintaining health throughout the lifespan is simple, exercise more! Unfortunately there is a huge disparity between what the research says and real world application.

[Asker Jeukendrup @Jeukendrup]

The evidence is clear, the aplication needs work.

This meta-analysis found no effect of HMB supplementation on strength and body composition in trained and competitive athletes. https://t.co/SoGBhTegzm

BMH - Big Muscle Hype not HMB... the little leucine look-alike that could do... https://t.co/SoGBhTegzm

Old message that is still highly relevant and much ignored..

Could not agree more! My feet have taken me to such beautiful places.

To explore as much of the world as possible on foot - for me, there’s no greater goal.

@beng603 Looks good man, keep up the good work!

Exercise, which increases mitochondrial biogenesis (the growth of new healthy mitochondria), has also been shown to improve skin aging. https://t.co/F4aZf71cgI

@ameliaboone Whenever I need some motivation I watch the 15 Hours @BillyYang film with you in it, it’s more important to enjoy the journey and do what makes you happy, on paper this may mean you aren’t optimizing training but the other life benefits could lead to better overall performance

Getting bright light in the morning could be just as important for improving sleep as avoiding blue light exposure at night.

After exposure to daytime bright light, evening use of a tablet for two hours did not affect sleep in healthy young students.

@beng603 @TheCarnivoreKid That’s great, don’t over complicate. I highly recommend @Mindpump for most form corrections and proper programming as well.

[Phil Batterson @PhilBatterson]

@beng603 @TheCarnivoreKid Looks pretty good! Make sure that your knees to shoot out at the bottom. Eventually work to increase depth, do this slowly and with lighter weight. I like to use a slightly smaller box every couple of weeks. Hope this helps!

When taken prior to sleep, ibuprofen and aspirin disrupted sleep by increasing the number of awakenings and time spent awake and decreasing sleep efficiency compared to placebo. Ibuprofen also delayed the onset of deep sleep. https://t.co/qi6Y5fhx7H

[Asker Jeukendrup @Jeukendrup]

Can we improve sleep through nutrition? https://t.co/d19JNDPHCr

@JasonAvedesian Wish you would have gotten that on tape too. A lot of people don’t know how to safely bail from a heavy lift with no partner

A pooled analysis of randomized controlled trials and prospective studies finds that women with blood levels of vitamin D in the 60 ng/ml range had an 80% lower breast cancer risk compared to women with less than 20 ng/ml. https://t.co/Dem83BV7MI

No major differences in substrate use between men and women, so no need to have different recommendations for carbohydrate intake during exercise.

Sulforaphane ameliorates obesity by increasing mitochondrial biogenesis in adipose tissue and decreasing a type of gut bacteria that causes inflammation in the body by releasing endotoxin (animal study). Same diet, 15% less weight gain. https://t.co/vJSc8X7rUM
