 Issue #42 I April 14th, 2025  Photography by Viktor Solomin   Welcome back to The Mindset by Super Age. Longevity isn’t about controlling every variable; it’s about knowing which ones matter for you. This week, we’re exploring the emotional highs and lows that shape your week, a science-backed diet that cuts early death risk by 30% (and supports the planet), why shifting your bedtime is a longevity power move, and a Super Age recipe we’re loving right now. As the research evolves, one thing remains clear: The habits that shape your energy, mind, and emotional rhythms are right at your fingertips.   The Exercise That Protects Your Brain You probably already know that resistance training helps preserve muscle mass, but this new study goes one step further. Researchers found that twice-weekly resistance training over six months preserved key brain structures that typically shrink during age-related cognitive decline. Verbal memory performance improved as well. 👉 Discover which resistance exercises support brain health →   This Diet Cuts Your Risk of Early Death by 30% (and Protects the Planet) What if we told you there’s a longevity-supporting, earth-conscious eating plan that nourishes your body and sustains the world around you? Sounds good, right? The PHD is a flexible, mostly plant-based approach. Think: colorful plates piled high with vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, whole grains, and modest amounts of fish and poultry. Red meat and sugar? Still on the menu, just in moderation.   This Sleep Habit Eases Anxiety Night owls, this one’s for you. In a massive study out of Stanford University School of Medicine, researchers tracked the sleep habits of more than 73,000 adults, many of them in midlife or older. What they found was striking: People who regularly stayed up past 1 a.m. had a 20–40% higher risk of developing depression or anxiety. This held true even for “evening chronotypes”—people whose natural circadian rhythms are tilted later. So, even if your biology leans night owl, regularly pushing bedtime past midnight could still put your mental health at risk. But let’s back up. What’s a sleep chronotype?   The Emotional Map of Your Week You’re not imagining it—Wednesday really is the hardest day of the week. A new study analyzing nearly one million emotional check-ins reveals that our moods follow a predictable rhythm: high energy on Mondays, a dip midweek, a peak on Saturday, and a Sunday slide, thanks to anticipatory stress. 👉 Learn how to align your schedule with your emotional highs and lows → This Quiz Can Predict How Ready to take control of your health?
