Zone 2 exercise and longevity
Can you join the dots between zone 2 training and longevity? After hearing you explain the relationship between VO2 max and all-cause mortality I have incorporated VO2 max training once per week. I do zone 2 training as well, but I feel less certain about the longevity benefits (mitochondrial health?). I'm not a professional cyclist so I'm not persuaded by knowing that they do this type of training. Is there some way I can measure the benefits of zone 2 training?
Reconciling differing views on LDL/ApoB/statins
From listening to your excellent podcasts on the subject I have come to believe that LDL serves no useful purpose and that there's no reason not to take a statin to get it as low as possible. On the other hand, there are trustworthy sources (e.g. Nadir Ali - a cardiologist) who also seem knowledgable about these things, but present a different view. How am I to reconcile the different viewpoints from multiple trusted sources? I don't have time to become an expert on the subject myself.
