@skytv worst customer service experience ever. Just spent two hours on the phone, passed over to five different people, simply trying to upgrade my phone. 17 years as a customer about to get cancelled.

Daily unprocessed beef intake does not increase cardiovascular disease risk 🥩

Beef is a high-quality source of protein, iron, zinc and vitamin B12🔬

But many people state that eating beef can increase disease risk 🧐

This new meta-analysis compiled data from 20 studies to assess the impact of daily beef intake on CVD risk factors including…

⏱️ Blood pressure
🩸 Blood lipids
🧈 Cholesterol

Results 📊

Daily beef intake (~161 g/day) did not impact…

👉 Blood pressure
👉 Total cholesterol
👉 HDL-cholesterol
👉 Apolipoprotein A or B
👉 VLDL-cholesterol

There was a small effect on LDL-cholesterol (⬆️ by ~ 2.7 mg/dL), however this effect was lost when one study was removed from analysis 🔍

Daily unprocessed beef consumption does not increase CVD risk factors and can be a part of a well-balanced, performance and health-oriented diet ✅

Exercise volume or intensity: which is more important for promoting training adaptations? 🫀🫁

A recent meta-analysis explores this question & provides evidence on how training variables influence mitochondrial content, capillarization, and VO2 max.

Let’s explore. 👇🏼

Sedentary behaviour impacts a multitude of physiological systems.

“High volumes of sedentary behaviour can have adverse physiological impacts even in the presence of large volumes of aerobic and/or resistance exercise.”

This reinforces our need to "sit less, move more, and exercise".

Exercise protects against age-related declines in physical performance.

A single year of exercise reverses the trajectory of physical function in older adults (aged ~73):

WITHOUT exercise:
- 6-minute walk test: ❌-18.7%
- Chair stands: ❌-24.5%
- Timed up-and-go: ❌-19.4%

WITH exercise (aerobic/strength/balance/flexibility):
- 6-minute walk test: ✅+10.9%
- Chair stands: ✅+30.6%
- Timed up-and-go: ✅+9.2%

I have read some truly excellent books this year, and this, without any doubt, is one of them. Informative, philosophical, provocative, and inspiring. Huge well done @bowelsurgeon

Essential reading for anyone working in health.

[Jackson Fyfe, PhD @jacksonfyfe]

After 1 year of either home- or gym-based resistance training, only 41% of older adults (>65 yr) managed to keep training over the next 6 months.

But of those who continued, 1 or more session per week was enough to offset losses of muscle mass compared to stopping completely.
