It is time to bust the myth of physical inactivity and obesity
You cannot outrun a bad diet
This 2015 editorial argues that while regular physical activity does reduce the risk of diseases like cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, dementia, and some cancers by at least 30%, it does not promote significant weight loss—placing the blame for the obesity epidemic squarely on poor diet rather than inactivity

A Better Warm Up
Increase body temperature and heart rate, stretch, stimulate the major biomechanical functions, practice for basic movements, and prepare for rigorous athletic training.
"In commercial gyms everywhere, warming up constitutes little more than spending 15 or 20 minutes on a bike, treadmill or stair climber. While better than nothing, this approach to warming up is largely a waste of time in that it will not improve flexibility, does not involve the whole body or major functional movements, misses an ideal opportunity for reinforcing and practicing some critical exercises, and poorly prepares an athlete for rigorous athletic training."

Nutritional Ketosis and Mitohormesis
Potential Implications for Mitochondrial Function and Human Health
This article explores how a ketogenic diet can enhance mitochondrial function and bolster the body's antioxidant defenses. It highlights the role of the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) not only as an energy source but also as a signaling molecule that promotes beneficial cellular adaptations, a process known as mitohormesis. These adaptations may contribute to improved resilience against oxidative stress and offer potential protective effects against chronic diseases.

Mitochondria Are More Than Powerhouses—They’re the Motherboard of the Cell
When these energy-giving organelles thrive, so do we
Scientific American explains how mitochondria are redefined not simply as the cell’s “powerhouse” but as a sophisticated “motherboard” that processes information, coordinates energy production, and communicates with other parts of the cell to regulate vital processes like aging, stress response, and cellular health.
