I've only skimmed my way through it, but it seems like the bulk of the research started in 2000 so it would be fairly new. It might still be just academic research at this point, but it at least seems to show some pretty interesting ab

It's cheaper and more useful to just track something like your 5k time over time. If it's meaningfully improving from year to year, you're improving all the things you care about. (The best way to improve that is to slowly in

99% of people could probably build up to it easily with consistent training. That's only 24 miles per week of running. Most people could probably get to that level of fitness within a year.

Doing this with a treadmill is honestly a gamechanger if you can't or don't want to do cardio outside (e.g., safety issues, heat, bad weather, etc.) Even just walking on an incline can get your heart rate into the right zone so yo

Alt+Tab is practically instant and I already use Anki for all my SRS needs, so having a separate SRS for a niche topic as a Chrome-only browser extension is just a lose-lose for me. It's a cool project, though!

For future reference, if you strongly suspect something specific and you have reason to believe your doctor is wrong in dismissing your concerns, you can double-check that they're following evidence-based best practices by looking up t

This is written by someone who has never had to convince people to do what they know they should be doing. Diet and exercise (i.e., what to do) are solved problems. The hard part is convincing people to change their behavior (i.e., how to g
