New Research: Lifelong Exercise Cuts Inflammation by 71%, Honey Matches Gels, and the Plant vs Animal Protein Verdict
Decades of training reduces inflammation markers, but can’t fully turn back the clock This meta-analysis pooled 17 studies (~649 participants) comparing master athletes (35+ years old with 10+ years of consistent training) to untrained peers. Lifelong exercisers showed significantly lower CRP levels (a key inflammation marker linked to mortality) and higher anti-inflammation markers compared to […]
Does protein boost endurance, The effects of collagen on muscle tendons, and Can creatine enhance exercise?
Think Protein Is Just for Lifters? Think Again. Researchers pooled 23 trials with ~1,150 adults doing endurance training for 6-26 weeks. Protein intake ranged from 1.2-3.8 g/kg body weight daily. The key finding: protein supplementation significantly improved time to exhaustion (how long athletes could sustain effort). No effect on VO2max or time trial performance. The […]
