Don’t forget all the evidence suggesting adult neurogenesis specifically from running.
As for VO2max, Levitt had a longevity researcher on his podcast who found that a high VO2max (used as a proxy measure) is causally related with higher impacts on 5 year all cause mortality than smoking. In the good direction. As in: being in shape reduces your risk of death more than smoking increases it.

- swalling 4y agoIt's not just a longterm effect of VO2max improvements, which is a physiological metric that is quite slow to improve and realistically has upper limits based on your age and sex. It's also that aerobic exercise acutely improves brain function. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9256523/#:~:text=There%20is%20evidence%20that%20acute,89%5D%E2%80%93%5B92%5D https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9256523/#:~:tex...

- matwood 4y agoI enjoy listening to Attia talk about his longevity research. He's why I finally started doing IF, and someone I looked to when I moved from power lifting (can't do it forever lol) to a more longevity based exercise program. Then I randomly got really into jiu-jitsu because why not.
