Mindsip insights from this episode:
Train power output to prevent falls after age 60
After age 60, there is a significant and often-ignored decline in power output, the speed of movement, which is critical for preventing falls and should be trained for specifically.
Choose non-alkalized cocoa to reduce cardiovascular risks
Flavanols in cocoa have been shown to reduce cardiovascular deaths, but it's crucial to source non-alkalized cocoa powder tested for low levels of heavy metals.
Utilize glycine to potentially extend lifespan by reducing mTOR activation
Glycine extended lifespan in a rigorous mouse study, possibly by reducing mTOR activation through its interaction with the amino acid methionine.
Leverage porcini mushrooms to boost mitochondrial health
The molecule ergothioneine, found in high amounts in porcini mushrooms, may improve mitochondrial health by enhancing their ability to utilize oxygen.
Avoid mixing bananas and blueberries in smoothies for maximum health benefits
Bananas contain an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase that can neutralize the beneficial polyphenols in blueberries when they are mixed together.
Reassess glucose spikes and their impact on health
For healthy individuals, glucose spikes are likely less detrimental than often portrayed, as they constitute a very small percentage of the day and the evidence linking them to disease is currently shaky.
Optimize red light therapy intensity for mitochondrial benefits
Red light therapy's benefit for mitochondria is dose-dependent, with moderate intensity being beneficial while high intensity can eliminate the benefit and low intensity can be harmful.
Reverse immune aging with new antibody therapy
A new antibody therapy in mice has shown the ability to reverse immune aging by selectively removing old, biased stem cells, allowing for the regeneration of a more youthful immune system.
Critique unsupported claims of Fatty 15 supplement
The popular C15 supplement 'Fatty 15' is heavily criticized for making claims that are not supported by the weak, company-funded, and often misinterpreted scientific evidence currently available.
