I usually check the UK NHS website for general information that has been reproduced consistently, and talk to a doctor for anything more specific.
This about how poorly technology and law news is reported. Health news is _even worse_.
I guess the largest health effect comes from exercise, stable/low blood sugar, no alcohol, enough sleep.
It’s all just going to be the same old stuff repeated until you die. Eat this — no wait, don’t eat this. Lift weights — no wait, don’t lift weights. This causes cancer — no wait, that causes cancer. This will make you healthier — no wait, this will make you sicker.
He's an MD, former surgeon, with a background in math and an appropriately skeptical point of view when in comes to health news. He isn't one, but he would be a very good scientist as he understands very well the methods of science.
But I've spent too many years reading (bad) summaries of publications and studies to stop taking them seriously. One year it's "eggs are bad, cholesterol is bad", the next it's "eggs are good, eat more".
Sure we're learning new things, and we're making a lot of advances across multiple areas, but at the end of the day none of that matters too much unless the actual "research" becomes something that can be given to an actual human.
1. Eat clean. Keep carbs low.
2. Eat within a small window every day (12-2pm).
3. Exercise five days a week (daily running 5k).
4. Strength training on weekends.
That's it.
Edit: downvoting me is a coward move.
Not even sure I understand your comment.
In any case, I have made significant lifestyle changes. I just don’t believe in the “no pain, no gain” mindset. Push yourself, but not so hard that it feels like hell - this is my 2 cents’ worth.
