Just a quick summary of the talk:
1. HIIT: build more lean muscles mass
2. Intermittent fasting: at least twice a week, 13 to 16 hours between dinner n breakfast the next day. Or try calorie restriction.
3. Manage blood glucose level: check fasting blood glucose level within 70-85 to prevent insulin resistance, limit carbs, have more fibres thru veg n fruits. Ensure enough protein to support muscle mass.
And reduce stress n sleep well!

Homeless have a hard time sleeping due to security issues due to the noise of traffic, due to the cold. So they age much faster than the General Public.

And of sleep? What if we're on zolpidem, have been for years, and don't necessarily want to stop it because it works so well and is practically free with insurance.

Can you stop eating at 10pm and go to bed full and then do the 13 hours fast or do you need to be sleeping on an empty stomach?

[@sl4983]
