Mindsip insights from this episode:
Leverage aspirin to combat aging by reducing inflammatory enzymes
Aspirin may have anti-aging effects by decreasing the inflammatory enzyme INOS, which is different from the beneficial ENOS that improves blood flow.
Avoid jogging for joint health and fitness effectiveness
The speaker agrees with the advice to not become a jogger, suggesting it's tough on joints and less effective for fitness compared to brisk walking, HIIT, and weightlifting.
Embrace 'I don't know' to liberate your perspective
You will find it liberating to say 'I don't know enough about it to form an opinion,' as you are likely not qualified to have an opinion on most matters.
Increase collagen and essential amino acids for muscle gain
The speaker attributes his recent gain of nearly 20 pounds of muscle to dramatically increasing his daily intake of both collagen and essential amino acids to 30-40 grams each.
Experience intensified cravings after a three-day smartphone fast
A three-day smartphone fast can intensify your brain's craving circuits, making you more excited to see your phone after the break.
Engage in analog brain training for cognitive longevity
Instead of digital brain training apps, consider analog activities like playing musical instruments, memorizing text, and playing board games to enhance cognitive function without digital side effects.
Recognize and address symptoms of electromagnetic radiation syndrome
A newly coined condition called Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) syndrome is characterized by symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and heart palpitations linked to exposure to modern technology.
