The Most Important Thing You Can Do For Your Health Right Now
Manage episode 353581932 series 3402673
In a world where we're simultaneously told to avoid fats, avoid carbs, cut calories, count macros, eat organic, avoid GMOs, run marathons, plunge into cold water, eat liver, cut out meat, and more... where do we even begin!?
In this episode, we break it down into 3 steps of what you should focus on 1st, 2nd and 3rd when you're trying to get healthier and fitter.
Your first priority should be getting to a healthy body weight and knowing how to maintain it for life. We covered how to know if you're already in the right range and if not, how to get there. This is really about body composition much more than body weight! Consider the ratio of lean weight to fat weight, even if the number on the scale stays the same. Use nutrition to help with satiety and appetite control.
Second, you should focus on preventing muscle lose and then gaining muscle tone. Why? Muscle tone is critical for preventing disease... Sarcopenia, osteopenia, osteoporosis and more. As Rod says, get your Vitamin L. Muscle is the organ of youth! And be sure you're getting enough protein. There's absolutely no point lifting weights if you're not taking in the building blocks of muscle: protein.
After you've done all that, it's the time to think about optimizing nutrition and cleaning up your act. Now you can add in some healthy fats, be sure you're eating organic and avoiding GMOs. Clean up your cleaning products and cosmetics to get carcinogens out of your house.
