This kind of fat lies around our internal organs and shockingly, you can have it in large amounts without even knowing its there. It is the kind of fat that lends itself to the term skinny fat .. that is , people who are thin on the outside but are fat on the inside.

Weightloss, longevity, boosted energy levels and all while still being able to eat foods you enjoy, this is the promise of the 16:8 diet, which involves 16 hours of fasting and an 8 hour window during which you can consume your food. But is it all hype ?New research has emerged that the answer is not straightforward. One study compared those engaging in the 16:8 diet to a group who ate normally and actually found no significant difference in weightloss outcomes. The 16: 8 diet did however result in improved insulin sensitivity and reduced late night snacking, so not an insignifcant result in itself. People tend to make one huge mistake when trying the 16:8 diet which confounds their efforts to improve their health, in this episode I discuss what that one mistake is.

The research study discussed in this episode https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13825585.2024.2315774What if the way you speak today could predict your chances of getting Alzheimers, the most common form of dementia. A new study has found that alterations in speech speed could be an early warning sign for this devastating neurological disease. Researchers asked a sample group to describe a scene in detail , then AI analysed their speech patterns such as speech rate , the length of pauses, and vocabulary diversity. It seems theres a clear link between a persons coginitive function and how fasta person speaks. Even before memory deterioration occurs subtle speech changes can foreshadow cognitive decline. The kind of speech analysis in this stidy could one day become a simple non-invasive way to predict someones chances of acquiring a neurological condition like dementia.
