Hand surgeon Nick Pappas says he tries to do resistance training five times a week, eat an anti-inflammatory diet, sleep seven to eight hours a night and use an air purifier in his bedroom. Nick Pappas MD/TikTok Resistance training five times a week
“I do attempt to do resistance training several times a week to maintain muscle mass, which is important in promoting longevity,” Pappas explained.
Spend at least two days a week strengthening your muscles, experts say. dusanpetkovic1 – stock.adobe.com
Examples of resistance training — using your body weight or equipment to build strength, endurance and muscle mass — include lifting weights , doing pushups and holding yoga poses like lunges.
A 2022 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that doing just 30 to 60 minutes of strength training a week could lower your risk of dying, especially from cancer and heart disease , by 10% to 20%.
Obviously, the last one is the most important if you want to live a long, healthy life. If you are a physician and see a workstation with a Stanley Cup in front of it or a sweater on the back of the chair, do not go near it! That is not your computer to use. The nurses will never forgive you. All jokes aside, I do attempt to do resistance training several times a week to maintain muscle mass, which is important in promoting longevity. I try to eat a diet that is rich in anti-inflammatory foods such as fatty fish, blueberries, spinach, avocados, walnuts, and even dark chocolate on occasion. Sleeping at least seven hours per night is very important, although some people may need up to nine. Lastly, using an air purifier to remove pollutants / allergens from the bedroom is also key and has definitely improved my sleep.

Inflammation is a normal response to illness or injury, but chronic inflammation can be harmful. It can damage healthy tissue, and it has been linked to diabetes , heart disease and cancer, among other serious conditions.
