Mindsip insights from this episode:

Increase whole grain intake to lower mortality risk

A large cohort study found that people who ate the most whole grains had a 17% lower risk of all-cause death compared to those who ate the least.

Maximize muscle gain with 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram daily

A 2018 meta-analysis found that exercise benefits are maximized at 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, with no further gains above this amount.

Build and maintain muscle mass to combat age-related decline

On average, human muscle mass declines by about 1% per year from the age of 40, highlighting the need to build and maintain it throughout life.

Rethink daily dairy intake based on evidence

The common recommendation for three daily servings of dairy is not well-supported by evidence, as a meta-analysis on dairy consumption and fracture risk showed mixed results.

Choose olive oil over low-fat diets for heart health

The PREDIMED study showed that a Mediterranean diet supplemented with olive oil resulted in a 31% lower rate of heart attacks or strokes compared to a low-fat diet.

Reclassify potatoes and fries: not a vegetable serving

Potatoes and french fries should not be counted as a vegetable serving because their high-starch macronutrient profile is more similar to a grain.

Incorporate 2.5 grams of psyllium husk for daily fiber boost

One of the speakers takes 2.5 grams of Psyllium husk, a potent source of fiber, as a daily supplement.

Increase fiber intake to enhance longevity

A meta-analysis in The Lancet linked higher fiber intake with a 15% to 30% decrease in deaths from all causes, heart disease, and strokes.
