Zone 2 lactate clearance metrics and mitochondrial substrate utilization

Primary Citation: Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity (2023). Verified Public Record: "Zone 2 training is the foundational engine of all metabolic longevity. If your mitochondria cannot clear lactate and oxidize fatty acids efficiently at low heart rates, your risk for systemic metabolic dysfunction multiplies exponentially." — Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity (Chapter 11: Exercise: The Most Potent Longevity Drug, p. 228 (2023))
