Topics
Eric: 如何在生物医学文献的混乱中找到有用的信息,并将其应用于改善自身健康? Ben Greenfield: 医学文献解读困难,存在许多细微差别需要考虑。如今,自我量化技术使得人们能够便捷地收集自身身体数据,从而更好地了解自身健康状况。通过收集自身数据,人们可以绕过一些笼统的流行病学数据,制定更适合自身的营养、运动和补充方案。一些基于粪便微生物组数据的预测缺乏足够的科学依据。建议每年进行一次全面的粪便检查,以了解肠道健康状况。多日粪便样本收集能更全面地反映肠道菌群平衡、寄生虫和炎症标志物等信息。坚持自我量化需要家庭支持和理解。作者认为,机构的既定智慧往往受到经济利益的影响,因此需要保持独立思考。 Ben Greenfield: 作者热爱阅读和学习,并通过自身实践来验证健康知识。作者的学术背景是运动生理学和生物力学,并长期从事专业耐力运动。作者持续学习和分享健康知识。建议关注血糖变异性、炎症和心率变异性三个指标来评估健康和长寿。血糖变异性可以通过血糖仪等工具进行监测。建议定期检测高敏C反应蛋白(hs-CRP)水平来评估炎症水平。激素水平在一天中波动较大,建议通过尿液检测来更全面地评估。心率变异性(HRV)可以反映自主神经系统的平衡状态,并预测伤病风险。保持高心率变异性有助于降低压力和控制炎症。迷走神经连接肠道和大脑,影响认知和消化功能。一些方法可以增强迷走神经张力,例如深呼吸、唱歌、吟诵等。地中海饮食的益处与其宗教习俗中的禁食和蛋白质限制有关。冷水刺激、冥想和瑜伽等方法可以增强迷走神经张力。建议关注血糖变异性、炎症和心率变异性三个指标来改善健康和长寿。个体差异是影响健康的重要因素。需要考虑健康信息对个体差异的敏感性。健康建议应考虑各种因素的权衡。生酮饮食对不同个体的影响存在差异。未来医疗保健将更加依赖于自我量化、人工智能和算法。目前医疗保健处于过渡阶段。理想的自我量化系统应该能够被动地收集多种类型的身体数据。理想的健康管理平台应该整合多种数据来源,并提供易于理解的个性化建议。建议人们耐心等待更便捷的自我量化工具出现,并关注一些基本的生活方式建议。建议人们每天进行适量的低强度运动。建议人们采用低碳水化合物的地中海饮食。建议人们经常晒太阳。建议人们经常赤脚接触地面。建议人们经常进行冷热交替的刺激。建议人们多喝水,补充矿物质。

Shownotes Transcript

Eric sits down with leading fitness geek, guru, thinker and human guinea-pig Ben Greenfield to learn how one of the world's most highly regarded trainers and fitness experts cuts through the nightmare that is our medical literature. 

The academic and medical literature in health and medicine is a disaster. Studies are performed and reported in non-standard and idiosyncratic ways which are then further distorted by a press often looking more for headlines and scoops than facts and rigor. In this episode we get to ask one of the most sought after fitness optimizers how ordinary people can better understand their own minds, brains and bodies in light of the cacophony of 'expert' opinion. Ben, here in his role of master pedagogue, gives detailed implementable answers as well as simple to follow priorities that sum up his years of study and training for the mere mortals who wish to better everything in their lives by tackling health at the fundamental level.
