Intermittent fasting at any time of day is good for losing (some) weight but does not reduce visceral adipose tissue. nature.com/articles/s4159…

For all those #coffee lovers Drinking coffee in the morning may be more strongly associated with a lower risk of mortality than drinking coffee later in the day Have it am and pm - to be on the safe side 😊 academic.oup.com/eurheartj/arti… Mamas A. Mamas

Compared to low-volume physical activity, high-volume physical activity is associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality but similar risk for clinical CAD events. ahajournals.org/doi/epub/10.11…

The muscle–adipose–liver axis is critical, yet underrecognized, in #MASLD. Sarcopenic obesity affects ~50% with #MASLD and drives ⬆️ ASCVD and liver fibrosis. Theja V Channapragada DO,MBA,MS and I argue it's time to standardize definitions and intervene early: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
