腎臟科醫師江守山指出,研究顯示每週僅需30分鐘、分次進行的劇烈運動,每次達氣喘吁吁程度,即可顯著改善心血管健康、降低疾病風險,並有助於保護大腦、延緩衰老。關鍵在於運動強度,心率應達最大心率的85%,或達到說話困難但仍能說簡短句子的程度。

腎臟科醫師江守山指出,研究顯示食用西瓜者飲食品質較佳,攝取較少添加糖和飽和脂肪。西瓜富含茄紅素,有助維持血管功能,並對攝護腺有保護作用。

New research suggests muscle growth and strength can be achieved through eccentric training, focusing on the muscle-lengthening phase of movements like slowly lowering a dumbbell or sitting down. This method, requiring minimal effort and no special equipment, can be integrated into daily life and is beneficial for beginners and the elderly.

A study from University College Cork suggests that drinking 3-5 cups of coffee daily, with or without caffeine, can improve mood by reducing stress, depression, and impulsivity. It also impacts gut microbiota, potentially boosting resistance to harmful bacteria and infections.

A study published in Neurology suggests that lifelong engagement in mentally stimulating activities like reading and learning new languages may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease by 38% and delay the onset of cognitive decline.

A large study of over 72,000 people found that increasing daily step count significantly reduces death and heart disease risk, even for those who sit for long periods. Walking 9,000-10,000 steps daily showed the greatest benefit.
