A few extra drizzles on salad or your frying pan easily adds 300+ hidden calories.

Get a convertible sprayer to lightly mist the pan. Image

Yet it's your mitochondria that give your heart the energy to keep beating.

But they decline 10% every 10 years and Statins damage them even more.

Here's how they work (and how to protect them to save your heart) 🧵 Mitochondria inside your cells convert food and oxygen into the energy your body needs to function.

Your heart cells are very dense in mitochondria because your heart needs to beat constantly for your entire life.

When they decline, your heart weakens.

The worst thing about your belly fat isn't how it looks...

It's the visceral fat around your organs that:

- Poisons them
- Makes you insulin resistant
- Drives chronic disease, including heart disease.

Here's your 7-step roadmap to get rid of it for good (bookmark this) 🧵 1. Walk More

You don’t need to run a marathon. You need to walk.

It’s sustainable, low-effort, has a low-risk profile and can be done almost anywhere.

High insulin levels:

- Lower nitric oxide production

Your back pain isn't from aging.

It's from sitting 8 hours a day at your comfy desk job.

It wrecks your posture and compresses your spine.

Here are 9 simple exercises to fix your back before the damage becomes permanent: 🧵

(From a Doctor of Physical Therapy) 1) Glute Bridges.

Low back pain often stems from weak glutes.

So, with the glute bridge, we want to keep the feet underneath the knees to focus on the glutes.

If double leg is too easy, you can try single leg.
