Brent’s secret to looking young

original sound — @jessejameswest

what it claims

To maintain a youthful appearance, one should limit physical activity to one or two sessions per week and consume large quantities of green vegetables, particularly broccoli and celery.

Consuming broccoli and celery is an excellent idea for longevity: an animal model study published in the journal Antioxidants showed that the luteolin they contain helps slow down signs of aging such as graying. Additionally, the sulforaphane in broccoli is currently being studied in a Johns Hopkins University clinical trial for its protective benefits on skin youthfulness. Conversely, reducing exercise to one or two sessions per week to stay young is a misconception. A large observational study from Brigham Young University indicates that only frequent and intense physical activity (about 5 times per week) allows for the preservation of our cell age in a significant way. Workouts that are too spaced out have not shown a notable difference in our internal biological clock compared to a sedentary lifestyle. Thus, while green vegetables are valuable allies for radiance, a more sustained exercise regimen remains essential for a true overall protective effect.

What the graded evidence says

Evidence
B+
Effect
muscle hypertrophy by weekly training frequency (volume-equated vs not) — no significant difference in hypertrophy between higher and lower frequency when weekly volume is equated (25-study meta); higher frequency favored only when it also raised total volume, and that effect was modest
Measured on
healthy trained and untrained adults

What’s uncertain

For a matched weekly volume, frequency is largely personal preference. Training twice or more per week is at least as effective as once, and can make it easier to accumulate volume with good technique.
