In an awe-inspiring moment from the fram2’ Fram2 mission, our #Science Cubes MELITE and Space-THAL were captured floating freely in the cupola with the Earth’s polar regions in the background. These scientific studies, led by Malta’s biotech company Spaceomix, are the world’s first to send diabetic foot ulcer tissue and ocular tissue microbiome samples (via our partners at فلك لعلوم وأبحاث الفضاء ) into a polar orbit. We aim to uncover how spaceflight, microgravity, and radiation alter the microbiome and relate to #diabetes complications back on Earth 🌍  In parallel, Space-THAL investigates the effects of #space travel on bone marrow-derived stem cells, cord blood, and peripheral blood, paving new ways to understand blood disorders, #anaemia, and long-duration space missions. Together with the University of Malta UM | Health Sciences, Mayo Clinic, Weill Cornell Medicine and other partners, and with a clear mission to advance space medicine, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, for Earth and beyond.

How Much Exercise Is Really Enough for Longevity? This clip is from the video “How much time should a person spend exercising?“ which was released on my YouTube channel on 5/4/24. “How much time do I need to spend exercising?” It’s a question I hear often, and it is the subject of countless research studies and popular press articles. And yet, this question misses the point. When it comes to exercise, we should only concern ourselves with duration insofar as it influences what we really care about: results. Exercise is not a goal in itself – rather, it is a means of achieving good cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, and metabolic health, and the ultimate indicators of sufficient exercise are therefore a good VO2 max and adequate muscle mass.

A sedentary lifestyle makes sugar more dangerous than you might think Excess glucose that lingers in your bloodstream—without exercise to shuttle it into muscles—reacts with proteins, fats, and even DNA This triggers the harmful Maillard reaction, forming Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), compounds that stiffen crucial structures like your blood vessels and heart tissue Over time, this silent, cumulative damage accelerates aging and heightens your risk of cardiovascular disease Regular exercise is your strongest defense, helping shuttle glucose into muscles before it can wreak havoc on your cardiovascular health

Umroi, Meghalaya: On Multilateral military exercise PRAGATI 2026, Exercise Director Col Sundeep Punia says, "Pragati, the acronym stands for Partnership of Regional Armies for Growth and Transformation in Indian Ocean Region. With this, we had the aim to create synergy, create interoperability and enhance the mutual trust amongst the friendly foreign nations. With this aim, we had planned this exercise and approximately 400 participants from 12 friendly foreign countries were here. And over last two weeks, we have got trained together, during which the focus of the exercise was on counter-insurgency operations based in semi-mountainous and jungle terrain. During this time, it was a great opportunity for all of us to share the best practices. We planned our operations and carried out detailed discussions on how to incorporate the latest technologies, the niche technology and what is the effect of this on our operations, the new TTPs, that is, techniques, tactics and procedures..."

Day 145, orbit 2248 — Woohoo! 🎉 So happy I got to carry out the checkout and activation of our brand‑new European exercise equipment: the European Enhanced Exploration Exercise Device, or E4D. I know how much effort – and sweat! – the teams have put into the development and ground-testing of this device, and I’m happy to do my part from orbit now! 😅 I love exercising; it’s always been an extremely important part of my daily routine, and it is exciting to add some variety 🚣 to the on-orbit workouts! The E4D is a technology demonstrator: we’ll evaluate its design, operational aspects, and also effectiveness in counteracting the physical deconditioning experienced by astronauts in space. Once we’ve put it through its paces, future versions could find their way on board spacecrafts where the available space (inside 😉) will be even more limited than on the International Space Station. 👏 Congratulations to all the teams who made this possible! Go ESA! Go Europe! Go NASA-ESA partnership! 🎥 European Space Agency / NASA #εpsilon • International Space Station • European Space Agencyspaceflight • NASAJohnson

Vigorous exercise, especially high-intensity interval training, is one of the best ways to refresh the body’s energy systems. It works in two ways: mitophagy clears out old, damaged mitochondria, and mitochondrial biogenesis builds new ones. This dual effect boosts cellular energy production, improving both physical and cognitive performance over time. High-intensity interval training is so effective because it creates metabolic stress, which increases lactate levels. That lactate sends a signal to activate PGC-1α, a protein that helps grow more mitochondria. Over time, having more mitochondria makes your muscles better at using oxygen, managing blood sugar, and reducing oxidative stress. The best part? You don’t need long workouts to get these benefits. Even short bursts of intense exercise can improve your metabolism, protect against muscle loss as you age, reduce inflammation, and boost your overall health.

University of Houston Texas paper published at the end of 2022 is sparking a wave of interest Reducing the level of sugar and insulin in the blood for diabetics after eating by 52% (better than many diabetes medications) with a very simple movement and you do not need to make an effort or take any medications. Only by moving a very small muscle located in the calf muscle behind the leg, called the soleus muscle. By moving this muscle while you are sitting in your chair and watching TV, the blood sugar level decreases by a large percentage (by half), and this muscle does not suffer any fatigue, even if you continue to move it for long hours. One of the advantages of this muscle is that it consumes the glucose present in the blood after eating for energy (Glucose) and not the glycogen stored in the muscles like the rest of the body's muscles. Interesting research, and it could be an effective solution for diabetes without the need for drugs, strenuous exercise, and exhausting diets.

Exercise IS THE LONGEVITY & LIFE BIOHACK So many people only think about exercise as a way to burn calories & look leaner, but exercise is SO much more than that Exercise lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) & cancer independent of weight loss (PMIDs: 21673488, 31758975, & 32741068) Exercise improves symptoms of depression with a MASSIVE effect size of 1.7 (for reference SSRIs have an ES of about 0.5) (PMID: 37429171) Exercise improves your brain’s sensitivity to satiety signals helping with appetite control (PMIDs: 36998025 & 30131457) Exercise improves insulin sensitivity independent of weight loss (PMID: 24454364) And the dosage required to get benefits is not big at all, in fact it’s ridiculously small. Just ~4 minutes of vigorous physical activity per day decreases the risk of getting cancer by ~20% (PMID: 37498576) & 50 minutes of resistance training per week was all that was needed to decrease the risk of depression in the previously cited study It doesn’t take hours per day. You may not have hours but you’ve got 4 MINUTES! Now is the time to drastically improve your life, physical, & mental health. Get after it 👊 From my convo with Dr. John Delony on his podcast

Rebounding, or jumping on a mini-trampoline, offers a variety of health benefits for the body that are both surprising and impressive. Here’s a detailed look at some of the key advantages: 1. Improved Cardiovascular Health ❤️ Rebounding is an excellent way to get your heart pumping and improve cardiovascular health. The rhythmic motion increases heart rate, promoting better circulation and strengthening the heart muscle over time. 2. Lymphatic System Boost 🌿 Unlike many other forms of exercise, rebounding is particularly effective at stimulating the lymphatic system. The up-and-down motion helps to flush out toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials from the body, which can enhance your immune system and overall health. 3. Enhanced Balance and Coordination ⚖️ The unstable surface of the trampoline forces your body to engage multiple muscles to maintain balance, which over time improves your coordination and stability. This can be especially beneficial for older adults looking to maintain their independence and reduce the risk of falls. 4. Low-Impact Exercise 🌟 Despite its effectiveness, rebounding is gentle on the joints. The trampoline absorbs much of the impact, making it a great option for those with joint pain or those recovering from injuries, while still providing a high-intensity workout. 5. Muscle Toning and Strengthening 💪 Rebounding works out various muscle groups, particularly in the core, legs, and lower back. Regular sessions can lead to improved muscle tone, increased strength, and better posture. 6. Improved Bone Density 🦴 The gentle impact on bones from rebounding can stimulate bone growth and increase bone density, which is crucial for preventing osteoporosis and maintaining bone health as we age. 7. Stress Relief and Mental Health 😌 The rhythmic motion of bouncing has been shown to have calming effects, reducing stress and anxiety. Additionally, the physical activity releases endorphins, the body's natural mood lifters, which can help to combat depression and improve overall mental well-being. 8. Better Digestion and Gut Health 🍎 Rebounding can also positively impact digestion by stimulating the digestive tract, promoting better nutrient absorption, and reducing issues like constipation. The gentle motion helps to massage the intestines, aiding in regular bowel movements. 9. Increased Energy Levels ⚡️ Regular rebounding can lead to higher energy levels. The exercise helps to improve circulation and oxygen flow throughout the body, which can leave you feeling more energized and less fatigued throughout the day. 10. Weight Loss and Fat Burning 🔥 Rebounding is an effective calorie-burning exercise. It increases metabolism and helps to burn fat, making it a great option for those looking to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Incorporating just a few minutes of rebounding into your daily routine can provide a wide array of benefits, making it a versatile and effective way to support your overall health and well-being.

The exercise helps to improve circulation and oxygen flow throughout the body, which can leave you feeling more energized and less fatigued throughout the day. 10. Weight Loss and Fat Burning 🔥 Rebounding is an effective calorie-burning exercise. It increases metabolism and helps to burn fat, making it a great option for those looking to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Incorporating just a few minutes of rebounding into your daily routine can provide a wide array of benefits, making it a versatile and effective way to support your overall health and well-being.

Eating protein before bed may improve muscle mass and aid recovery — if you lift weights. In the evening, especially in the hours before bed, our bodies are at their least insulin-sensitive. As melatonin levels rise, it interacts with receptors in the pancreas, signaling a reduction in insulin secretion. However, for the purposes of maximizing our adaptive response to resistance training, sleep is a period of long unbroken fasting. Evidence shows that during exercise training, consuming 30 grams of protein before enhances gains in muscle mass and strength. There’s two ways to look at this: One way is through the lens of time-restricted eating and the other is through the lens of actively optimizing for muscle protein synthesis on training days. Pre-sleep protein is just one way to increase total daily protein intake. A low-calorie protein shake on training days can support muscle growth by enhancing protein synthesis. However, keep in mind the natural drop in insulin sensitivity near bedtime, especially on non-training days when exercise isn’t boosting insulin sensitivity.

A person asks Sadhguru, “How much weight training exercise do you recommend?” And Sadhguru answers, “Weight training is not useful, but do 25-50 Surya-Namaskars, it is complete exercise.” First of all, I am not sure why anyone would ask someone like Sadhguru, who is most of the time, in another dimension, a question on exercise and weight training. And secondly, Sadhguru is just plain wrong. Weight (or strength) training is one of the most important aspects of exercise regimen you can include in your daily or 3-4 times a week physical activity because there is great science behind its benefits. I advise my obese or sarcopenic (very poor muscle mass in advanced liver disease) patients to include weight training to improve clinical outcomes. The highest level of scientific evidence showed that standard muscle-strengthening activities were associated with lower risk of death in patients with non-communicable diseases – including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and lung cancer. Another metanalysis showed strong evidence for a considerable risk reduction of strength training for 60 minutes a week, on all-cause death (−15%), cardiovascular disease death (−19%), and cancer death (−14%). See here: here Sadhguru says the older we get, the better we do not weight train. He is again absolutely wrong. The findings of another systematic review/metanalysis support power (strength) training as an effective therapeutic intervention for improving physical function in adults diagnosed with frailty (poor physical function in old age) and patients with chronic medical conditions. See here: In fact, another study on strength training, this one again a metanalysis, concluded that strength training interventions can be used as a non-drug treatment for hypertension (!), as they promote significant decreases in blood pressure. See here: Strength training also reduces significantly, chronic inflammation as shown in another high quality systematic review and meta-analysis. See here: Resistance/Strength training improved muscle mass and muscle strength, thereby improving performance status. Improved performance status is a wonderful benchmark for an active and healthy life. See here: Even in fatty liver disease, independent of weight loss, exercise training was associated with 3 and a half times more meaningful treatment response towards lowering liver fat. Strength training is a powerful tool to maintain liver health. See here: and here Now Surya Namaskar. Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation is a sequence of around twelve yoga poses connected by jumping or stretching movements, varying somewhat between various Yoga schools – which means, it has no regulation or standardization unlike weight training. In Iyengar Yoga there is a way, in Ashtanga Vinayasa Yoga there is Type A and B and there are other types followed by other schools or Yoga teachers. Along with the stretching and jumping, which is done is a slow and steady manner, the practice includes chanting a “mantra” calling out twelve names of the Sun God. In its classical form, Surya Namaskar is not an exercise, and is not aerobic. The energy cost of exercise is measured in units of metabolic equivalent of task (MET). Less than 3 METs counts as light exercise; 3 to 6 METs is moderate; 6 or over is vigorous. American College of Sports Medicine and American Heart Association guidelines count periods of at least 10 minutes of moderate MET level activity towards their recommended daily amounts of exercise. For healthy adults aged 18 to 65, the guidelines recommend moderate exercise for 30 minutes five days a week, or vigorous aerobic exercise for 20 minutes three days a week. Surya Namaskar in its classical form has a measly 2.9 METs and in its rigorous form (some people perform mutated highly active forms of Surya Namaskar to make it feel like an exercise) can go up to 7.4 METs – which requires a lot of jumping and little stretching and no time to chant the Sun God names - does not even come close to strength training by any margin. Those who are part of the Surya Namaskar and Yoga cult would provide anecdotal experiences on its benefits (please see comment section) through non-classical forms and would call it an “exhilarating experience.” Experiences are not scientific, evidence are. Many Yoga journals and some dubious and third rate Ayurveda journals have also have published on such experiences in small group of patients, which are not validated or published in better journals [like this junk here: There are no metanalysis level data to prove effectiveness of Surya Namaskar as beneficial as aerobic exercise or better than strength training as Sadhguru claims. Do Surya namaskar if you are doing nothing. But upgrade to strength training if you want something. And stop listening to pseudoscience peddlers who speak religion and culture for your healthcare needs. Sadhguru suffers seriously from Dunning Kruger fallacy: a type of cognitive bias, where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs because of the fact that they don’t have enough knowledge to know they don’t have enough knowledge.

This exercise should be mandatory for people who sit at desks that exercise on a regular basis. It's called an Ankle Mob. Due to prolonged sitting & comfy shoes our ankles get tight. This sets off a chain of tightness in our bodies, which limits our performance in our workouts. The ankle mob helps your knee track over your toe, which gives you the mobility needed to squat deeper with less restriction. Before doing this exercise do the wall test to see how tight your ankles are: 1. Face a wall & get into a kneeling position 2. Lunge forward as far as you can while keeping foot in place 3. Measure how close your knee is to the wall Then do this exercise & retest mobility. You might be surprised at what you find. Do this drill for 8-10 reps before any type of lower body workout to unlock a new level of performance. Ps. If you liked this sign up for the High Performance Journal. I send emails every week to 150k+ readers to teach you how to get lean, strong, and energetic in a way that fits your lifestyle.

IRGC-N Commander Tangsiri: The weapon that we will use during the battlefield on the day of war is different from what is shown in the exercise. If at any time of point, the security apparatus decides to close the strait of Hormuz, our forces will implement this in the shortest time possible. — Today: Some parts of the Strait of Hormuz will be closed for a few hours. They’ll be closed for the smart control exercise of the Strait of Hormuz, to observe safety and navigation principles. Ships will still be able to sail through other parts of the Strait of Hormuz.

Walking is DIFFERENT than “exercise” biochemically but it’s absolutely critical to metabolic health. Walking is simply a body in low-grade motion, which is required throughout the day for optimal cellular function. Every time we get up and walk we help stimulate the glucose channels to go to the cell membrane and let glucose in to be processed. We have to understand that exercising for a focused 45 min- 2 hours per day does not replace regular low-grade movement throughout the day… We need both. We need to stimulation mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis through focused strength training, high intensity training, zone two training, etc… And we need to constitutively dispose of glucose throughout the day by moving our bodies regularly - at least every half hour - which could be walking for 3 min, a few air squats, whatever you want. Part of the reasons Americans are so sick is because we sit all day and then think that a spurt of activity is all that matters… We need more movement. Our cells need regular movement, it sitting 80% of the time (which is what Americans are doing!).

Which is the best exercise modality for reducing resting Blood Pressure (BP)? Isometric exercise training is the most effective mode to reduce resting BP. A recent network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) by Edwards and colleagues concluded that: Isometric resistance training (IRT) was the most effective modality in reducing BP, with mean reductions of −8.2 mm Hg for systolic and −4.0 mm Hg for diastolic BP, followed by Dynamic resistance training (DRT −4.6/–3.0 mm Hg), Concurrent exercise training (–6.0/–2.5 mm Hg), Aerobic exercise training (AET −4.5/–2.5 mm Hg) and High-intensity interval training (HIIT –4.1/–2.5 mm Hg). Wall sit is the best 8 minutes of isometric exercises, three times a week can result in significant reduction in blood pressure. Maintain the "sit or squat" pose for two minutes, then take a 2-minute break, then again sit for 2 minutes, followed by a 2-minute break. Continue until you have completed a total of 8 minutes of wall sit. Do "wall-sit" on three days a week for maximum benefits (on BP reduction). (It is important to note that one should continue other exercises as per the guidelines or recommendations.) Reference: (Disclaimer: This is a general advice. Please consult your physician for the best advice for individual cases of hypertension.)

Here’s EVERYTHING you need to know about warm up sets: Most people are doing warm up sets ALL wrong and they’re costing themselves from an efficiency/effectiveness standpoint as a result Warm ups are designed to A) guard against injury B) prepare you for your working sets Warm up sets should NEVER be taken in close proximity to failure…most should see you leaving 6, 7, 8+ reps in reserve (the lone exception to this = sets performed for 1-2 reps @ ~90+ of your intended working weight) This is in STARK CONTRAST to working sets which should all end around 0-2 RIR You probably need about ~2 warm up sets before your first exercise or two depending on the specifics of your programming Here is an example of a typical warm up protocol: - a 5-10 minute brisk walk on the treadmill (optional) - 50% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~12 reps (mandatory) - 75% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~6 reps (mandatory) - 90% of your working weight on your first exercise for ~2 reps (optional) After you complete the working sets for your first exercise, you may want to repeat the last 3 steps prior to performing your next exercise IF it is an antagonist exercise (Ex: Lat Pull-Down after Sternal Pecs Machine Press OR Seated Leg Curls after Hack Squats) After that, you probably don’t need any additional warm up sets unless you are just using them as “primers” (sets to make sure your movement pattern / the machine settings / etc. are on point) - If doing a PUSH workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise only (assuming it’s a multi joint movement) - If doing a PULL workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise only (assuming it’s a multi joint movement) - If doing an UPPER workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise and 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise (assuming they’re antagonist multi joint movements) - If doing an LOWER workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise and 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise (assuming they’re antagonist multi joint movements) - If doing a FULL BODY workout, I’m probably using 2-3 warm up sets before my first exercise, 1-2 warm up sets before my second exercise, and may even 1-2 warm up sets before my third and fourth exercises as well (assuming they’re all multi joint movements — antagonist push/pull movements for both upper & lower) (As you can see, the major downside of FULL BODY workouts is often the excess warm up time needed — this is why they work best for beginners much of the time) General rule of thumb: If your first set of an exercise is NOT your best set of that exercise in terms of performance (assuming we equate RIR), you are NOT warming up properly You should see a fall off in performance as sets transpire on a given exercise…this is a feature, not a bug of productive/effective resistance exercise WHEN WARMED UP PROPERLY
