The Next Chapter: Moderation in everything?

Peter Allison and Peter Bowes – school friends 50 years ago, now contemplating the next chapter in life - return with another conversation about the latest science that could help us achieve a longer healthspan.

In this episode we discuss:

• New study: Having a lower waist circumference and body mass index is more likely to be associated with exercising between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. than during midday or evening, according to a new study. 
• Paper: The diurnal pattern of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and obesity: a cross-sectional analysis
• Journal: Obesity Pub: Sept 4, 2023
• Obesity and physical inactivity is very bad for our health but according to  the US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy the mortality impact of being socially disconnected  - i.e  lonely - is an even greater threat to our longevity.  For some, the LA Times reports, supermarket self-checkouts make it worse.
• Last month the UK's oldest man celebrated his 111th birthday.    John Tinniswood took the opportunity to share some of his rules to live by with healthy aging in mind -  they include "exercising the mind" and "moderation" in all things.
