Can Exercise Reverse Aging? HIIT, Coffee & Brain Science Tested | Myth or Science (2/6)

Can science really help us become fitter, younger, smarter and maybe even more perfect? In this episode of Myth or Science, Dr Jennifer Gardy puts some of the biggest health and human-performance claims to the test. Can exercise reverse aging? Is a few minutes of high-intensity training really as good as a long workout? Can you be fat and fit? Is willpower something you can train like a muscle? And could coffee, cooked food, music, or even sleep change the way our bodies and brains work? From intense lab tests and skin biopsies to MRI scans, DNA analysis, brain challenges, and music therapy after stroke, Jenn dives into the science behind the myths we hear every day. Along the way, she discovers that some “too good to be true” claims are surprisingly real, while others need a little more nuance. ------- Chapters ▷ 00:00 - Intro: Can Science Make Us Better? ▷ 01:27 - Can Exercise Reverse Aging? ▷ 03:47 - The Mice Experiment: Exercise vs. Aging ▷ 05:35 - Skin Biopsy Results: From 70 to 40? ▷ 07:44 - Can HIIT Replace Long Workouts? ▷ 09:25 - Jenn Tries High Intensity Training ▷ 12:08 - HIIT Results: Fitter in Just 2 Weeks ▷ 13:00 - Can - You Be Fat and Fit? ▷ 14:36 - BMI vs. Real Body Fat ▷ 16:34 - Fitness Test: Who Is Actually Fitter? ▷ 18:10 - Can Willpower Be Trained? ▷ 20:24 - Testing Jenn’s Willpower ▷ 24:43 - Willpower Results: The Brain Gym Works ▷ 25:37 - Coffee, DNA and Your Health ▷ 30:22 - Raw vs. Cooked Food: Which Is Healthier? ▷ 33:17 - Brain Myths, Music Therapy and Final Truths ▷ 43:06 - End Credits #MythOrScience #ScienceDocumentary #HealthMyths #ScienceFacts #FitnessScience #AntiAging #BrainScience #HealthMyths #ExerciseScience #Willpower #CoffeeScience #NutritionFacts #ScienceDocumentary ------- Subscribe to wocomoDOCS: https://goo.gl/sBmGkp Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wocomo ------- © 2013, Licensed by Jambika ------- Documentaries about politics, society and science produced by leading studios around the world.
