LONGEVITY FOR MEN OVER 40

It requires these 4 factors to be on point.

*THREAD*
Longevity doesn't just mean a long life (although that's a part of it).

It means a long life without being plagued by health problems.

Like cancer, diabetes, hormonal issues, heart problems etc.

It means a life of ENERGY & FREEDOM.
#1. Body Fat Percentage

This is the first point that needs to be addressed, and it's the one that's most commonly screwed up.

If you're obese, problems are headed your way.

The stress on your arteries.

The strain on your organs.

It's a ticking time bomb.

There is....
ZERO percent chance that you can be long-term healthy at 30% body fat.

So what's the ideal?

It's a subjective thing, but a 'safe number' to give you is 15%.

If you get your body fat down to 15%, you're not going to suffer any problems due to your body fat stores.
2. Insulin Levels

It's not enough to just have lower body fat levels.

You also need to have lower insulin levels.

There's plenty of guys with sub-15% bf, but borderline prediabetic due to a poor diet, full of sweeteners and processed food.

High insulin levels lead to...
The growth of cancerous cells REGARDLESS of body fat %.

Kidney disease REGARDLESS of body fat %.

Heart problems REGARDLESS of body fat %.

Nervous system damage REGARDLESS of body fat %.

You get the point.

Chronically high insulin is dangerous, especially past 40.
3. Exercise

This is a HUGE one.

One of the biggest things Men Over 40 can do to live a life of energy and freedom from illness, is to simply go for a morning walk every day.

This is actually a major lifestyle hack, as it accomplishes several things at once:
- Fresh air
- Calories burned
- Vitamin D
- Nature/relaxing

And if you start adding heavy backpacks, it can build strength in your legs too.

I also recommend Men Over 40 to do full body training (as opposed to 'bro splits') - as it allows for:
Recovery from training
Injury prevention
Adequate protein synthesis
Time efficiency (a lot of over 40s are very busy)

Bro splits 5x per week are for 18 year olds.

Men Over 40 need to train differently:

4. Smoking Cigarettes

This one's very simple - smoking kills.

Lung cancer is pretty much guaranteed at some point down the line for someone who smokes heavily.

What about weed?

Well, like alcohol, it appears to be beneficial to your health when micro-dosed.

Problem is...
I've never actually seen anyone micro-dose it with my own eyes in real life.

So take from that what you will.

13 Common Diet Mistakes (UNF**K YOUR DIET!)

*THREAD*
1. Only Fasting Occasionally

Huge mistake.

10% body fat doesn't come from fasting when you feel like it. It comes from consistency/dedication to the process.

You've got to make it a lifestyle.

Ask yourself:

"Why do I feel the urge to NOT fast on some days??"
2. Bread

Bread simply makes it harder to lose fat, fuels carb addictions, damages your stomach lining, and spikes your insulin.

Bad news all round.

3. Sweeteners

Also spike your insulin, often quite badly. High insulin = FUTURE disease.

Also terrible for sweet cravings.

11 Lessons On Getting Ripped

*THREAD*
1. Appetite Control Is The Number One Skill

99% of people fail to lose weight not because of some hormonal problem.

It's not their thyroid.

Or growth hormone.

Or even low testosterone.

99% of the time, it's because they can't control their appetite.

And by the way...
This is the EXACT same principle for 'hardgainers'.

Guys, you don't have some genetic issue, or some inherent problem with gaining muscle.

You just fail to get the right amount of food for your goals.

If you can control appetite, you can control the results.

9 Foods You Must Avoid If You Want To Actually Get Lean

*THREAD*
Here's the thing.

Some of these foods do actually come with a lot of health benefits.

They're 'healthy'.

But they're not going to help you to get to 10% body fat, because:

They're too CALORIE-DENSE.

Look out for these:
1. Nuts

Nuts are a classic example of something that technically has healthy fats, but in reality they're WAY too easy to overdo.

Salted or not.

Getting the balance even slightly off with these, is enough to knock you out of a calorie deficit.
