Finished the book “Outlive: the Science & Art of Longevity” by Peter Attia. Too long and scientific. Hard for the common person to understand and follow a good chunk of it. Had to be a scientist to make the connection from all the scientific mumbo jumbo to practical steps I should make. He did say not to get so engrossed in which specific diet you eat. Instead focus on eating less. Sodas and even fruit drinks pump too much sugar into your body. Better to eat fruit. You can’t eat enough protein.
Attia championed what I am just now learning: the best exercise is broken down into four parts: weight training, high intensity interval training, stability exercises, and longer, slower, “stage 2” cardio – hiking or walking / running at a pace where you can have a conversation, though you’d rather not. Perhaps “rucking” which is walking/hiking with a weighted vest or backpack. In addition to eating right and physical exercise, another key is emotional health and well-being. No reason to live to one hundred when you’re miserable.
The author called for the leap from the current state of medicine (“2.0” – waiting until symptoms, sickness, and disease appears to address it) to medicine 3.0 – a more preventative approach…starting decades early to prevent cancer, cardiac disease, dementia, and diabetes. These hour horsemen account for a majority of non-accidental deaths in the US.
Article: walking with a weighted vest or backpack is the hip new workout in silicon valley and Hollywood.
Back before 1969 only the one team from the NL and AL with the best record went to the World Series, so winning every game mattered more. Snitker plays to win every game, but he doesn’t play his catcher all 162 games. Only catches one game of doubleheaders, and takes off the day games after night games. Braves position players rarely take off, and play many more games than most other teams.
Nowadays with so many teams making the playoffs, it’s the team playing the hottest in October that wins the World Series. The season is for fine tuning and getting everyone in a groove. Last two seasons in October the Braves pitchers were worn out. Different issues. Fried had a blister. Morton, Elder, Strider had other issues.
See where Christian Yelich of the Brewers was safe on a delayed steal of home plate?
I saw where Brianna set a hard pick and knocked Caitlin to the ground. Kate Martin blocked the shot of a 6’7” opponent. Both she and Gabbie were good shot blockers. Martin and Caitlin are both 6’0” as I recall.
Tuesday morning I forgot to leave my glasses in the car, so on the treadmill I was able to actually read the ESPN SportsCenter info for a change. With Shane and Eric and Angie and Vanessa out of the office today, I didn’t feel like wearing my golf shirt. Wore a t-shirt to the office instead. Born to be wild.
NOMAR GARCIAPARRA [SABR Bio] was the first Red Sox player to hit fifty or more doubles in a season more than once. In 2000, Garciaparra hit 51 2B, in 2002, 56. Garciaparra’s 30-game hitting streak in 1997 (setting the AL record for rookies) tied Tris Speaker’s 1912 streak. They both trail Dom DiMaggio’s 34-gamer in 1949. In his 14 years in the majors Nomar hit .300 or more nine times, twice winning the batting title. His career stretched from 1996 to 2009. In 1999 he hit .357, in 2000, .372. He spent his final season with OAK.
