Resveratrol is a bioactive well known to be in grapes, red wine, and grape juice. But resveratrol is also present in blueberries, cranberries, peanuts, and even pistachios, as well. In nature, resveratrol acts as a natural fungicide to fight fungi that could destroy the plant. So this is a bioactive that is first and foremost part of a plant’s health defense system. The practical challenge with resveratrol is that it is present only in small amounts in red wine and most foods. Because of this, resveratrol may be one of the few exceptions where the bioactive may be better obtained through a concentrated supplement rather than the actual food. [2019] - William W Li

Dream sleep typically begins approximately 90 minutes after an individual falls asleep, commonly after a brief stay in light sleep and a cycle of deep sleep. Individuals usually spend about one quarter of their night in REM sleep. REM sleep comes in 20-40 minute cycles, usually about 4-5 times a night. The cycles typically become longer in duration as the night progresses to the longer cycles occur during the second half of the night. The longest cycle usually terminates around the time an individual awakens in the morning. [2017] - W. Chris Winter

Peak aerobic cardiorespiratory fitness, measured in terms of VO₂ max (via a treadmill test), is perhaps the single most powerful marker for longevity. VO₂ max represents the maximum rate at which a person can utilize oxygen. This is measured, naturally, while a person is exercising at essentially their upper limit of efforts. (If you've ever had this test done, you'll know just how unpleasant it is.) The more oxygen your body is able to use, the higher your VO₂ max. [2023] - Peter Attia
