August 20, 2026 Morning! We’re well past the old POV that brain decline is inevitable, though we’re still always certainly learning more about what that really means. New research reveals that eating a diverse diet may play a significant role—more on that below. Plus, I’m sharing all the resources you need to start strength training or level-up your routine, no matter your current level of fitness. Read through and then be sure to share this newsletter with a friend who is focused on their diet & fitness goals. —Ailsa Cowell, M.S., health editor Eat like this for a better brain & calmer outlook New research found a certain way of eating may be one piece of the puzzle to great cognition at any age, with mood benefits as an added bonus:¹ Researchers assessed four different dietary patterns in 3,181 adults. Mono-diet: A relatively limited variety of foods Vegetarian diet: A pattern centered primarily around plant foods High-protein diet: Greater emphasis on protein-rich foods Diversified diet: A broader variety of foods Results showed that those who ate a diversified diet had the lowest levels of anxiety and the highest levels of cognitive function compared with the other dietary groups.

Slow-twitch fibers are the marathoners: packed with mitochondria, built for endurance, and they'll keep firing for a long time without tiring. Fast-twitch fibers are the sprinters, generating power quickly but burning out faster.² At the microscopic level, movement itself comes down to two proteins, actin and myosin, sliding past each other like interlocking fingers pulling closer together; that's literally what a muscle contraction is. Most muscles are a mix of both fiber types, and the ratio is partly genetic, which is part of why some people are built for distance running and others for explosive power. +Get to your know muscles Why strength training fails without enough protein Muscle supports these 3 pillars of longevity What do sleep & muscle quality have in common?

August 18, 2026 PRESENTED BY Energy dips with age—this could help Good morning! I’ve had a goal to eat more seafood for the last two years—as a way to up my omega-3 intake and support my protein goals. Today, we’re diving into new research on just how important this protein is for longevity and sharing a fave summer orzo with salmon recipe you should make ASAP. What’s your go-to way to cook seafood? Let me know by replying to this email! —Molly Knudsen, M.S., RDN, editor And share this newsletter with a friend who’s looking for healthy eating tips! The protein-rich food to help you live longer Living longer doesn’t come down to eating just one food. But if it did, fish consumption would be at (or near) the top. A study of nearly 91,000 Japanese adults found that moderate fish and shellfish intake was associated with a lower risk of premature death. Women who ate moderate amounts of fish and shellfish had an 8% lower risk of death compared to those with the lowest intake. Eating more omega-3-rich fish was also associated with lower risks of all-cause and cerebrovascular disease (conditions that affect blood flow to the brain) and mortality in women. Among men, higher intake of unsalted fish and shellfish was associated with a 16–23% lower risk of death from cerebrovascular disease. The greatest longevity-benefits of fish and shell-fish intake were seen at about 7 servings per week. Up your intake by always having seafood in your freezer, utilize tinned fish (like sardines) for snacks, and don’t sleep on canned salmon for lunchtime salads. + Under the sea 5 ways fish oil can balance your blood sugar The healthiest fish to eat, according to an RD This is the best low-mercury canned tuna A lemony salmon orzo with 34 grams of protein PRESENTED BY You're not tired.
