Deep dives
Exercise and Sense of Purpose
There is a distinct link between exercise and a sense of purpose. Exercise is also associated with a reduced rate of depression and overall higher mood state scores. Engaging in exercise can provide structure and meaning to life, set goals, and promote a sense of achievement.
The Limit of Human Lifespan
Research suggests that the maximum human lifespan is around 110 to 115 years old. Longevity may be largely determined by factors such as species anatomy and lifestyle. Studies and conflicting opinions on extending lifespans beyond this limit continue to emerge.
Dietary Habits of Knights Templars
The Knights Templars had dietary rules that balanced fasting with provisions for an active military lifestyle. They ate meat three times a week, along with vegetable-filled meals on other days. Their diet included fruits, vegetables, and moderation in wine consumption.
Timing of Caffeine and Fat Oxidation
Research suggests that consuming caffeine in the afternoon may enhance fat burning more effectively than consuming it in the morning. This new finding challenges the traditional notion of drinking coffee in the morning and suggests that timing caffeine intake may impact fat oxidation during exercise.

Instead, today is going to be just me talking to you—a special episode that I affectionately call a solosode.

This is because while I've written about nearly every health-related subject matter in the past, what we know is constantly evolving. Today is my chance to share a few of the latest goodies with you.
