Most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a week. They underestimate what consistent habits accomplish in ten years.

Brief one minute bursts of vigorous activity like sprinting up stairs dramatically lower overall cancer and cardiovascular mortality risk. These short bursts of activity trigger powerful cellular stress adaptations in under five minutes daily

A study tracking 60,000+ adults found that maintaining a consistent sleep schedule reduced all-cause mortality risk by 20% to 48%

Catching up on weekends won't fix circadian misalignment. Set a strict wake-up time and stick to it. ⏰

If you exercise because you hate getting old, you'll eventually quit. If you exercise because you love your future self, you'll keep going.

Love what @davidasinclair is doing

If I can’t eat carbs, fat, or protein, what can I eat?

For longevity, the answer is: all 3

1. Carbs: Whole & fiber-rich for slow release
2. Fats: Unsaturated, omega-3s, olive oil
3. Protein: Plant-based (e.g. legumes, nuts), low valine, leucine & isoleucine (BCAAs)

Enjoy! 😋

One of the strongest longevity signals isn't cholesterol or body weight

It's cardiorespiratory fitness

People in the highest fitness categories show 40-70% lower mortality risk than the least fit, so get moving!

Hard to believe:

New research finds that babies raised around mothers who smoke have altered DNA methlation patterns that could negatively affect the baby's health years later. Now's the time to quit

Some of the gene pathways that were altered in the recent study:

Average night’s sleep has declined ∼2h over the last century. The body becomes metabolically older surprisingly quickly. In one study, people given modafinil for a week slept only 5h a night & had dramatically reduced insulin sensitivity 🧵

[Lifespan @JoinLifespan]

Thus sleep restriction (5 h/night) for 1 week significantly reduces insulin sensitivity, raising concerns about effects of chronic insufficient sleep on disease processes associated with insulin resistance
