■ Researchers from Skidmore College, US, created a diet and exercise plan dubbed PRISE — Protein- pacing,
Resistance exercise, Interval sprints, Stretching and Endurance exercise. For 12 weeks, subjects consumed
modest amounts of protein throughout the day (hence, “protein- pacing”) and performed a diverse workout
routine consisting of weight training, interval sprints and yoga four days per week. At the end of the program,
all subjects had healthier blood vessels, more upper-body strength and endurance and better core strength.
