I have a 93 year old man that I see pass my house daily. He uses no cane or anything. He’s a little hunched over , but not much. Full head of hair. I stopped him once and the guy is impressively lucid. He invited me for coffee at his home. It was immaculate! No cleaning service , he said. He lives alone in a single family home. He drives as well. He opened his fridge and I spied a small box of donuts, a jug of red wine ( he’s Italian) and some pasta. He said he never eats out. Takes No vitamins , but drinks a lot of water , a glass of wine nightly, and walks every day at dusk. Sleeps 9 hours a night. “ it’s in the genes I guess ..” he told me. Wow!

My grandfather owned a small noodle business in Asia by the sea. Every day early in the morning, he would make noodles by hand as is the tradition 30 to 50 years ago. It is a physically demanding work and requires stamina. He lived in good health until mid 90s. He also ate fresh caught sea food almost everyday. He had three sons. They lives a more modern lifestyle filled with fast food, stress and more desktop sedentary activities. Two of them passed late 70s. My father is 80 and may have colon cancer.

I started learning about aging in 2005. I soon turn 48 but collegues, friends and others keep thinking I'm around 30, maximum 35. At one point I thought it was scary and tried to look older but then I stopped bothering. It is hard work. I eat much much less and everything I learned about foods in school has been proven wrong. I usually stop eating for a day and eat when I meet my daughter. I prepare almost all food myself. Drink 2 liters of strong coffee per day, stopped drinking beer but I'm not an absolutist, sugar is a treat, and I don't drink sugar. A key for me is my back was hurt in an accident and I MUST keep that at bay with training to be able to basically use chairs.

Also, are numbers are treated NOT us. They also keep changing those numbers, inching them ever up meaning we are allowed to become more ill before there is any interest in intervening and then we need very expensive meds, procedures and days filled with cold, brief and assembly line visits with “providers”.

My LDL is consistently in the 130s, but my HDL is consistently above 70, which is considered "protective" against heart disease.

When it comes to history, both of my parents died at 73, as well as 2 siblings at 45 and 62, all from various chronic diseases. I am well aware of my genetic predisposition, which is why I work hard to stay healthy. I'm not too concerned about my LDL given the total picture, but I'd still like to see it lower.

[@efanjul5768]

If you don't have hyperinsulinemia, which you clearly don't, there is no reason to worry about your LDL.

[@Zarathustra1337]

Don't forget the subclasses of LDL. "LDL consists of several subclasses of particles with different sizes and densities, including large buoyant (lb) and intermediate and small dense (sd) LDLs. It has been well documented that sdLDL has a greater atherogenic potential than that of other LDL subfractions and that sdLDL cholesterol (sdLDL-C) proportion is a better marker for prediction of cardiovascular disease than that of total LDL-C." If they take your blood they usually summarize the LDL subclasses and you don't see the ratio between them. A high marker in big LDL particles in the blood are not that big of a concern as a high sdLDL marker.

[@SquatFull]

The primary causes of the decrease in one's lifespan appear to be behavioral variables. The endogenous variable, genetics, also is a factor. Dr. Peter Attia's comments point to the behavioral variables. I've been using resistance training since my thirties. Hydrostatic testing at age 52, my body fat was 10.8%, body weight was 206 lbs. My body composition measured by DEXA was 9.7%, age 68, and body weight 183 lbs. My current body fat measured by three site skinfold tests is 9.1% body weight of 187 lbs, age 74. Regarding reversing aging, where is the empirical evidence to support the claims of achieving the process? Should I claim I am reversing aging? The years of resistance exercises are reducing the impact of sarcopenia, not stopping aging. The only way to stop aging is to stop time.

[@SET12DSP]

But what's your CAC?

[@mertonhirsch4734]

A problem with going for really high VO2 max is that the benefits plateau very quickly around the 80th or 90th percentile, but training for higher VO2 max than that almost certainly results in a permanent migration of fiber types toward type 1 fibers which have much more mitochondria. Type 1 fibers are less capable of being hypertrophied.

[@ryanmccarter9859]

Muscle fibers cannot change type. Type II fibers can have their myosin heavy chains change to more oxidative or more glycolytic isoforms, but a type I is always a type I and a type II is always a type II.

[@mertonhirsch4734]

@@ryanmccarter9859 There is some evidence, and also a working genetic model that type IIx (IIb) fibers are actually the genetic default, and that they can change into type IIa or type I fibers. The evidence is that with detraining or immobilization or paralysis of a muscle, there appears to be a decrease in type I and IIa, and in increase in IIx (IIb) although there may be several variants of type IIb, or IIx. The working theory is that IIx is the totipotent genetic default expression, and that both type IIa and type I fibers arise from type IIx as certain genes become blocked and others become amplified. I'll look for some journal articles on that topic. In that model, once a fiber is a IIa, or a type 1, it is locked on one or the other side of IIx, so IIa can't change to type I or vice versa, but they may be able to revert to type IIx and regain their ability to switch back into either of the other primary forms.

The APO B test is unlikely to gain widespread acceptance because it might threaten the trillion dollar annual statin market. If APO B is a better predictor of CV risk, presumably results would be more targeted and fewer people would be provided statins. I don't think, however, that even APO B addresses the real problem, which is glycation and oxidation of LDL. It may be a better predictor, but statins still are not the solution.

[@napnap609]

Hi ApoB indicates for statin use, so it's not going to threaten the statin market. That, and lowing your lipids and ApoB with statins at an earlier age can prevent CVD later, so if that becomes more adopted, that also won't threaten the market. Statins work.

[@MorrisLess]

@@napnap609 Statins lower LDL, but there's little indication that lowering LDL improves coronary outcomes. They also reduce inflammation, which is probably their primary benefit. The NNT for statins is about 104 for people with no coronary history. That's a very high number. A better test should reduce this number, so that prescribing could be focused better on those that might actually benefit and away from those who won't (statins are not without adverse side effects). If APO B doesn't do that, it's a waste of time and money. If it does do that, it will reduce statin sales. If APO B increases the NNT, it's hard to see it as anything more than an effort to increase sales.

I'm not worried at all.. certainly I can reduce saturated fats and maybe eat a bit less in order to lower LDL but I'm not worried. According to what he said, should I?🤔

Well, there are two fundamental problems: (1) physicians in the West are trained to "treat" disease with drugs and not to prevent disease with dietary practices, and (2) the vast majority of people will not make any effort to adopt dietary practices that reduce/prevent diseases, even if they know what the dietary practices are (in 2023 over 1/3 of Americans are obese). Today a vast amount of data exists on dietary supplements (e.g. vitamins, amino acids, etc.) that reduce and even eliminate cardiovascular disease (beta-alanine, taurine, creatine, CoQ10, selenium, magnesium, etc), enhance mitochondria health/function, maintain telomere lengths, prevent cross linked proteins (in the brain, eyes and skin - carnosine), impact cellular senescence and increase cellular reproductions. (taurine and carnosine) ...... along with the significant health benefits of consistent physical exercise (aerobic and weight training). But such information is of little to no use to the vast majority of people, who are only willing to take a "magic" pill and do nothing else to extend their life.

It is disturbing that this doctor is not up to speed on the nature of cancer. It has been found to be a metabolic disease not genetic. See numerous papers (experiments) by Boston College’s Thomas Seyfried.

[@mariapilarme]

I agree with you. He is wrong

[@newyorkguy158]

You should know that Dr. Seyfried is an outlier. I'm not saying he is wrong. I have known about him since he published his book around 2012, but it was largely rejected by other cancer researchers, who have been very critical of his theory, evidence and methods. Doesn't mean that he is wrong. It may be that some cancers are metabolic in nature, but in general, he doesn't have the support of researchers, unless there has been a recent change in their thinking that I am unaware of.

[@jft8994]

@papnicholson8407 Seyfried repeats the same thing in the videos where he is invited. Stupid comments like needle biopsies on breast cause cancer to spread. Dead wrong. He has no credibility in the world of cancer researchers, how many people have been saved following his advices? Some vague answers with brain cancers when limiting glucose intake? “The reason why the ketogenic diet is not being prescribed to treat cancer is purely economical, cancer is big business. There are more people making a living off cancer than there are dying of it.” Eat steak and fat and you will be saved! Seyfried’s research has focused on murine (mouse) models He just feeds the idea with the charlatan Dr Mercola that big pharma with cancer treatment is the enemy ,does not care much for immunotherapy which has been a revolution with a few types of cancer. Good luck to people who fast, do a keto diet following his cancer advices.

Attia is an excellent hype man and confident self promoter. He gets cred for pushing science, although often taken out of context, because he has the abbreviations of medical credentials attached to his name and most people are sadly naively uncritical. I think it's laughable, that a 50 year old with OCD and expensive hobbies gives longevity advice. Can't you see he is merely looking to finance his lifestyle? What, you don't know that you need to exercise regularly, eat right, sleep right and have meaningful social interactions to manage life's stressors? If you really want to know how to go about longevity, shouldn't you be asking someone who did it? Someone like Pocket Hercules Monahar Aich. He was Mr Universe in 1952 and lived to be 104.

This is what frustrates me about Attias philosophy, is his overriding blindness on the apob thing. At least in this discussion he admitted it is "causally related " to heart disease instead of being the root cause. However, it's still not helpful. Apob is a normal part of lipid physiology. The question should be, what causes these apob particles to be athereogenic? It's like saying knives are causally related to stab wounds. But they are not the root cause, that is reserved to the guy who stabs you. For heart disease it always comes back to oxidation, glycation, and inflammation. When you don't have those things, your apob can be any number at all and you will be fine. I'm surrounded by knives in my kitchen, but I've been stabbed zero times. He's focusing on the wrong thing.

@@donkey3187 In between birth and death there is free will but if from where you are today you look back at your life you understand how everything falls in place just like a jigsaw puzzle. You do certain things to arrive at a certain point exactly at a particular time and place . In our culture we call it vasanas or tendencies. Every person has a certain tendency according to which he thinks and acts. The ability for the mind to think in the way at a certain time, decides the course of action which in turn determines the direction we take. So observation of the body and its working is primary to understanding it. We are basically too deep into our addictions and into our inability to change our perception regarding food.
