Here’s a top-of-mind question for any Bulletproof guy who’s the father or grandfather of a young competitor: Are successful athletes smarter than the rest of us? Yes, according to Swedish researchers who studied executive brain functioning among elite soccer players. Those athletes have the rest of us beaten when it comes to a specific mental talent —

Though my Downward Facing Dog is a mere puny puppy . . . and my Sun Salutation rarely glows . . . yoga poses remain embedded in my stretching routine before and after long walks preparing for the 10-kilometer Bellin Run in early June. As a survivor of aortic dissection and stroke, I am on

Are you any good at Sudoku? Are you playing WordsWithFriends on your Ipad? I’m asking because Bulletproof guys, particularly aging ones, can do their brains a big favor simply by keeping their gray matter’s synapses popping. Put it this way . . . it’s a “use it or lose it” proposition when it comes to

Gimme an “N.” Gimme an “A.” Gimme a “P.” Gimme an “S.” All toggether now . . . let’s hear it for “NAPS.” Why, you may wonder, is a Bulletproof blogger like me talking about a putatively slacker endeaver like napping.

There being no less than a small mountain of books, articles and broadcast media reports about what men can do to make their hearts healthier, I am charting a new course, a decidedly abbreviated yet effective course, in this week’s and next week’s blogs. No doubt that a subject as vital as men’s cardio health deserves discussion

While doctors readily admit there is likely no silver bullet to eliminate disease, there is a reassuring consensus about at lease one important point: the beneficial effects of regular exercise on maintaining good health. A recent report from the Center for Disease Control found that more patients are being advised by their doctors to add

Drinking sugary soft drinks, even as few as one per day, can mean a 20% greater risk of contracting heart disease, a recent study from the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) concluded. The study appeared in the journal Circulation. That sound like bad news for a lot of bulletproof guys, right? I know a

Men are known to be at greater risk of developing heart disease than women. And now researchers in Britain say there’s a genetic link between a man and his father that may explain why. Some men inherit a higher risk for heart disease directly from their dads due to the structure of their Y-chromosomes, a research team from the University
