Hot yoga reduces depression symptoms. Eight weeks of yoga in 105°F reduced depression scores by an average of 13 points in adults with moderate depression, and 44% of participants became nearly symptom-free. There was also a dose-response relationship - each additional session https://t.co/ggrBHDkcyh
People ask about my daily smoothie a lot, so here it is. I use it to make it easier to get a meaningful amount of leafy greens, berries, healthy fat, fiber, and protein in one meal. Mine usually has: - 3 cups kale - 2.5 cups blueberries - 1/2 avocado - 1 scoop protein powder - https://t.co/3XYZs38JVM
I'm not surprised that the popularity of the carnivore diet is losing steam. It never was a durable solution for most people. Ultimately, part of what people were experiencing were the benefits of an elimination diet. But that doesn’t mean a zero-plant diet is optimal long term.
low riskMost people get too much sodium and not enough potassium. My top source is Swiss chard. Just 1 cup raw has more than 900 mg (and cooked it’s even more concentrated). Other favorites - baked potatoes (with the skin), avocados, beans, squash, spinach, pistachios, and dried https://t.co/kmdtEYj4OP
Early-onset cancer rates have increased nearly 25% in the last 30 years. Why? Newer generations appear to be aging "biologically faster." A larger age gap among recent generations is associated with a greater risk of lung, GI, and uterine cancers, independent of genetic risk. https://t.co/U1a0R9bVHJ
Insulin sensitivity and glucose handling are most effective in the morning. That’s one reason I’m a fan of early time-restricted eating and not a fan of eating large meals (especially carb-heavy ones) within about 3 hours of bed. You can eat the exact same meal, with the same https://t.co/oaXxa0RfT5
Higher meat intake was associated with less cognitive decline and lower dementia risk in APOE e4 carriers, a group at higher risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Those who ate ~2 servings of meat per day had a better 10-year cognitive trajectory and a 55% lower dementia https://t.co/0Yq2Dx31md

Supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids slows biological aging. Combining omega-3s with vitamin D and exercise has an additive effect, translating to ~3 months of slowed biological aging. These were the results of the 3-year-long DO-HEALTH study, which @prof_horvath believes is https://t.co/zHi48IvZ2h
