@DrAmbrishMithal This is exciting. Is the book aimed more at doctors or the general population.? Thanks

@EricTopol @usnews Many congratulations, Sir. Very well deserved

[Aashish Contractor @DrContractor]

Totally agree, exercise is the best ‘medicine’ for all, but not a great wt loss tool, when done in isolation, without dietary modification.

[Dr Paddy Barrett @Paddy_Barrett]

Aerobic exercise is an incredible way to increase your V02 max and increase the odds of you living longer.

But please don't use it as a weight loss strategy in isolation.

Great tool.

Wrong job.

[Aashish Contractor @DrContractor]

Agree with @DBelardoMD. use of unproven supplements without specific deficiencies have not shown to help. Interesting that she uses the same phrase I do; with patients and gym rats, who OD on protein- at best you will have 'expensive urine', at worst, it can cause actual damage

At @ASPCardio 2025, Dr. Danielle Belardo @DBelardoMD says 99% of supplements = ‘expensive urine’😬💊
Full interview coming soon.

More good news- you don't HAVE to achieve 10,000 steps a day for good health. For most health outcomes, 7,000 seems to be 'good enough'. Of course, there's greater benefit when at least some of them are done at a brisk pace. Bottom line- move more. Every bit counts.

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

What's the optimal number of steps of physical activity that is associated with multiple (9) favorable outcomes?
The largest, systematic review of 57 studies, 35 cohorts.
7,000 steps is clinically meaningful; some benefit also seen for 4,000 steps cf 2,000 steps @TheLancet https://t.co/nlL46KOE1v

@Gatorade - i've been using your product on my long runs (I live in India). Since the past few months, only the sugar-free version is available, which actually defeats the very purpose of why it was started- for providing sugar based energy for endurance training.
