Episode Details

Today, I am blessed to have Shane O'Mara here with me. He is a Professor of Experimental Brain Research at Trinity College Dublin - the University of Dublin. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from NUI Galway and a DPhil from the University of Oxford. He is a Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin (FTCD), and was the first Ireland-based elected Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science (FAPS) and is an elected member of the Royal Irish Academy (MRIA). He has a popular newsletter at brainpizza.substack.com - signup for slices of writing on brains, behavior, and lots in between…

In this episode, Shane highlights that all public health agencies advocate for at least three to five hours of exercise per week because our bodies are designed for movement. Sedentary habits can lead to high blood glucose, type 2 diabetes, undesirable cholesterol accumulation, and increased inflammation.

Tune in as we talk about how an active lifestyle is beneficial while inactivity is harmful. Exercise lowers cancer rates, especially bowel cancer. Aging increases disease risk, but a healthy body improves cell function and reduces cancer risk. To enhance your health, avoid smoking, vaping, excessive drinking, and consume a diet low in ultra-processed foods and saturated fats. Social connections are vital for mental well-being; humans' social and cooperative nature has been key to our success.
