What makes you fat and sick VS. What makes you lean and healthy
A short thread about the most powerful levers to look good, feel good and live a long healthy life
There’s a big overlap between the things that make you lean and the thing that affect your health markers
If you take action to look good, a happy “side effect” is that your health markers improve
-insulin resistance
-blood pressure
-inflammation
-testosterone
-cholesterol
Vanity is healthy
Nothing wrong with wanting to look good. But even if you don’t care about how you look, it impacts how you feel.
Get leaner = more energy and libido.
Plenty of mental health benefits such as stress and anxiety reduction.
Longevity
You don’t get chronic disease. While you can’t put your risk of cancer at zero, type 2 diabetes and other metabolic conditions are completely avoidable. And they’re reversible.
You don’t see a lot of overweight people 70-80+ with good quality of life…
Muscle
No, you don’t need to be a bodybuilder. You don’t need to spend multiple hours in the gym. But know that we all lose muscle as we age… unless you’re strategic about it.
You don’t need big bulging biceps. But you want to be relatively muscular.

The thing about cardio is that it’s inefficient, doesn’t build muscle, and tends to make you hungrier.
If you nail the muscle-building piece… you get the cardiovascular exercise with it
