Any amount of physical activity, from long walks at your normal pace to short "microdosing" bursts of vigorous effort, or even simply moving about doing regular household chores, improves physical and mental #health and extends lives, a strong body of evidence now indicates. New research finds weekend warriors gain similar protection as regular exercisers against cancer, heart disease and overall mortality. medium.com/wise-well/2-days-of #fitness #exercise #longevity

On April Fool’s Day in 1900, the philanthropist Dr. Daniel K. Pearson, then 80, shared his advice for living to the ripe old age of 100. Among his recommendations: “live like a farmer,” “no pies or cakes,” “don’t get angry and don’t get excited,” and “give away your money.” Alas, poor Daniel only lived to the age of 92.

This story, headlined “How to live to be 100 years old,” summarized the rules for longevity from Chicago-area philanthropist Dr. D.K. Pearson. It was published on April 1, 1900, by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

A recent important study published in Nature Medicine examines the impact of long-term adherence to various dietary patterns on healthy aging.

Utilizing data from the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study – over 100K people in their early fifties followed for 30 years – in the end, only 23% of them were free of 11 chronic diseases!

China's AI just cock-slapped Silicon Valley with a ChatGPT rival at 1/10th the cost. Meanwhile, some Aussie bloke's walking around with a maglev heart. Future's here: brains in servers, hearts in titanium. Who needs bodies anyway? #AI #Longevity

I felt the need to thoroughly read — and comment on — the rightly hyped recent publication in Nature Medicine:

Tessier, AJ., Wang, F., Korat, A.A. et al.
Optimal dietary patterns for healthy ageing
doi.org/10.1038/s41591-025-035

It’s a remarkable study with some unexpected results — especially the relative importance of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) via the MUFA:SFA ratio, and yes, the positive performance of wine. But let’s not get into that here 😉

This study certainly doesn’t offer the holy grail for healthy ageing, nor a clear guide on what (or how much) to eat.
Any attempt to treat it that way is, in my view, misleading.

What it does show are dietary patterns that correlate with better ageing outcomes — not prescriptive rules.

In fact, many of the foods with log(OR) ≥ 0 are low in calories and would not sustain daily energy needs on their own. That’s precisely the point.

Certain foods — even in small quantities — can have disproportionate biological impact.
This supports the view that dietary quality is more relevant than quantity in promoting healthy ageing.

And importantly, the fact that many of these protective foods are not modern dietary staples opens the door for nutritional interventions — including targeted supplementation — to deliver the benefits of these patterns in a more accessible form.
