Association of wearable device-measured vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity with mortality - Nature Medicine Using data from wearable activity monitors, this study shows that short bursts of physical activity that are done as part of daily life activities and that are only 1 or 2 minutes in length are…

Just 4.4 min/day of incidental vigorous activity is linked to ~26–30% lower all-cause & cancer mortality

You don’t start by reprogramming an entire person with OSK. You start small and contained. @elonmusk’s first rocket wasn’t Starship. It was Falcon. In 2017, we decided the eye was the best place to test human age reversal, and now we’re ready for launch. If that works, we go systemic πŸš€

A great relationship is an aging intervention. The converse is also true

Longevity isn’t β€œanti-aging”. Ditch that term. It’s pro-maintenance

Steps per Day and All-Cause Mortality in Middle-aged Adults This cohort study assesses the association of step volume and intensity with premature all-cause mortality among Black and White participants in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults…

7,000 steps/day is linked to ~50–70% lower mortality. You move!
