7 Longevity Biomarkers to Track

Home » Diet & Nutrition October 11, 2017 7 Longevity Biomarkers to Track By Mark Sisson 0 Comments   Print Last year, I wrote about 10 of the most interesting predictors of longevity . Many of them were subjective, but, as we all know, the objective physiological processes that occur in the human body also predict how long we live. Luckily, we can measure most of them. Some are standard at doctor’s checkups. Some require more involved (and expensive) testing. Some you can complete yourself at home with simple household objects. But if you care at all about how well you’re doing in the longevity game, it’s worth paying attention to some of them. Triglyceride:HDL Ratio Also known as the atherogenic index of plasma, a high triglyceride:HDL ratio is one of the best indicators of one’s risk for heart disease. It has the added benefit of also predicting lipoprotein particle size and insulin resistance . These all impact a person’s longevity. It’s difficult ...

2017 Annual Newport Weekend

Image
Another Newport weekend is in the books! This was our 9th year visiting (Qman’s 5th – feel free to do the math on that one ;)), and it’s still our favorite weekend of the year! Friday Annual cart photo! Once we were settled, we headed out into Newport to do some exploring and grab dinner. We went to The Deck for dinner, which was just okay food- and drink-wise, but the views were incredible! Saturday We were up and at ’em on Saturday morning. Qman was more than ready to start the day! First stop: Empire Tea & Coffee . Second stop: Kiel James Patrick ! I follow him (@kjp) and his wife (@sarahKJP) on Instagram, so I just had to see what the store was all about – Qman was not nearly as excited! Then, it was off to the arcade! Papi and Lori joined us there! After that, we headed back to the timeshare for lunch and Qman’s nap. When he woke up, we had some snacks and drinks on the porch. Hooray for cheesy popcorn! Then, we all drove over to The Lawn at ...

Biking On The Edge

^^ Life goal. ^^ Blueberries, yogurt, nectarine, granola, almond butter… aka cycle fuel! Sarah and I have a new favorite class at our gym – Rhythm Ride! Two years ago (ish) ACAC opened a boutique studio with yoga and cycle at Stonefield. It cost extra and didn’t have its own Kids Zone, so sadly it wasn’t super popular. They closed down the location, but with good news – they brought the cycle equipment to the downtown gym and renovated the studio so we have the Edge experience right at home now! The bikes are the best cycle bikes I’ve ever been on (they’re so solid and smooth), and the new studio is awesome with lighting, speakers, and even cycle shoes you can wear if you don’t have your own. (I have my own that I bought in 2005 and they are still in great condition.) When it comes to cycling, I prefer the party style to the “let’s pretend we’re outside riding a bike” style, so this class was my jam. Whitney had music too! And the best part of all? A lavender towel at the end. Y...
