Happy Tuesday!
As I’m writing this from New York, I’m enjoying a crisp, fall breeze that is sneaking its way into the summer sun. The weather is basically perfect—what I call “no weather” weather—and it’s making me want to get outside as much as I can. If you want to make the most of your outdoors time, keep scrolling for some fitness tips that you can work into your next outdoor adventure. —Sela Breen, assistant health editor Click here to share this newsletter with someone who you want to go on a walk with before the cold weather rolls around. |

These plant foods matter most for heart health |
|

Most people assume eating fruits, veggies, and legumes in any form is equally healthy, but not all plant foods offer the same benefits, especially when it comes to heart health.
Researchers analyzed over 10 years of data from 1,500 older adults with cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, or both. They gauged participants diets’ with food questionnaires, and divided plant food into two groups.¹
- Healthier plant foods: Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, garlic, tea, and vegetable oils.
- Less healthy plant foods: Refined grains, sugary foods, and salt-preserved vegetables.
- People who ate a larger portion of the less healthy plant foods saw an increase in mortality risk compared to those who ate more healthy plant foods.
This serves as a good reminder that a “plant-based" label does not automatically make a food healthy. The quality of your plant foods is key.

He and Jason discuss what’s overhyped in the wellness world right now versus what holds up, including his philosophy on food sensitivities and a clear-eyed breakdown of peptides like BPC-157 and the "Wolverine stack.”
