Quotes of the Day

You should at least check your bone density (technically, bone mineral density or BMD) every few years. When we detect low or rapidly declining BMD in a middle-aged person, we use the following four strategies: 1. Optimize nutrition, focusing on protein and total energy needs. 2. Heavy loading-bearing activity. Strength training, especially with heavy weights, stimulates the growth of bones-more than impact sports such as running (though running is better than swimming/cycling). 3. HRT, if indicated. 4. Drugs to increase BMD, if indicated. Ideally, we can solve the problem with the first two, but are not afraid to use the second two methods where appropriate. [2023] - Peter Attia

Generally, photos are better than artwork. Artwork is better than no artwork. [1998] - Jay Conrad Levinson

Frailty is defined as having at least 3 of the following 5 criteria: weakness (as measured by grip strength), unintentional weight loss (of 10 pounds or 5% of body weight in the past year), exhaustion (self-reported), slow walking speed (based on the time to walk 15 feet), and low physically activity. Individuals meeting 1 or 2 of the criteria are classified as "pre-frail." About 1 in 40 are frail by age 65, 1 in 4 after age 75, and 1 in 3 of those older than 85. [2023] - Michael Greger
