a 🧵 for folks who want to learn more about nutrition & metabolism in 2022 /1
there will be lots of ppl telling you what you can & what you cannot eat. none of the extreme diets (eg all meat or all-cleanse) make sense. intermittent fasting doesn’t agree with most ppl & has not been shown to promote wt loss in ppl /2
we eat to live & we live to eat. less processed food is generally better. matching food intake to energy expenditure is really important. becoming ocd about food does not help you live & enjoy your life /3
you don’t need equipment to exercise but if you enjoy equipment, use it! weight-bearing exercise is very important but of course moving your bodyweight up stairs counts. getting sweaty is great. we almost never regret cleaning house or working out /4
aging is neither a disease nor a solved problem. you can age better, largely by staying physically & mentally active, eating well, having access to healthcare including vaccines, staying away from guns, sleeping well & avoiding drugs & alcohol /5
ppl saying that you don’t have to age are not telling the truth. they have not discovered longevity genes, nor activators of those genes, nor ways to reset your genes. they are selling books & subscriptions to kits that are not evidence-based & have no value /6
plants that were stressed don’t make molecules that make you live longer. it’s total bs. if you were made to believe this, you’ve been made a mark /7
will i release some content in 2022 that explains metabolism & aging in greater depth? yes. will i start my own podcast? no such plan. will i continue being on other folks pods? mos def.
stay safe & don’t be a mark! /end
stay safe & don’t be a mark! /end
