@rebelEducator How to take care of their health (diet, exercise, sleep hygiene, stress management)

The breakdown of muscle is an inconvenient reality when losing weight, and this effect can be profound.

But it does not have to be.

In this clip, @BradSchoenfeld highlights how up to 30% of weight loss can come from muscle in people who do NOT resistance train.

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

As we get older, we lose muscle mass/strength. But if we've been doing resistance training, we will be better prepared for an unpredictable hospitalization.

Analysis of 10 studies found that 60 min of resistance training per week is linked to a 27% lower risk of premature death.

Areas of science not long ago considered fringe that now have federal (& other) support & 100s of labs at top institutions working to define mechanism/uses:

1) Gut microbes (& Diet)
2) Psychedelics
3) Deliberate Breathing

Makes you ask: what’s fringe now soon to be a focus?

Smokers die of cancer at 3x the rate of nonsmokers. However, smokers who quit by age 45 lowered their excess risk by 87%, and if they quit before age 35 they completely cut their excess risk of dying from cancer.
