    I love these podcasts!

    9:04 Bruh, my grandpa is 98, never hit the gym a day in his life, and still beats me at chess. Maybe the secret is just good food and zero stress?

    • @paulramsey2000 says:

      As he says in the intro, we can’t go from anecdotes. Though that might work slightly better when your anecdote is a blood relative.

    • @HealthAndCareTipsUSA says:

      @@paulramsey2000 Fair point! 😂 But hey, if my grandpa’s still out here living his best life without breaking a sweat, I gotta at least consider his ‘method’—might be onto something!

    1:02 – That doesn’t strike me as a very high number. A human heart beats about 3 billion times in 80 years.

    • @VMorgenthaler-yp6yz says:

      That’s the point. The slower your heart beats, the longer it lasts.

    • @misterx3188 says:

      @@VMorgenthaler-yp6yz Ah, ok, I thought it was intended to be a an example for a heart that has a very high number of heart beats.

    Daily exercise is key to a healthy life. Ride a bicycle to school, work or for fun.
    Riding a bicycle is a great way to exercise. Ebikes are bringing many older adults back to cycling.
    Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles. Safe protected bike lanes and trails are needed so adults and children can ride safely. Speak up for bicycles in your community. Bicycles make life and cities better. Ask your local transportation planner and elected officials to support more protected bike lanes and trails. Children should be riding a bicycle to school and not be driven in a minivan. Be healthier and happier. Ride a bicycle regularly.
    Make a bicycle your transportation option for short distance travel.

    Hospitals, doctors offices and schools should be places where good nutrition is taught and provided not places that contribute to disease and obesity. It is crazy the hospitals are feeding people the very food that caused the heart disease, high blood pressure or cancer that they are treating. Every person in the hospital should receive some nutrition education before being released. Every doctor visit should be an opportunity to educate patients about how food choices impacts their health outcomes. The fact that doctors do not get nutrition training as part of their training makes no sense. Medicare and Medicaid should require nutrition education as part of patient care. Focus should be on food choices. Fasting should be investigated as a treatment for disease.

  • @towsiveentertainment says:

    The very opening of the podcast was the clue for me. When you learn to read research studies and understand how important it is to be able to understand the data, the fog of social media “experts,” and news reports about nutrition that continue to be influenced by large companies are no longer relevant or reliable. Science does have and has had answers. That is what I appreciate about Dr. Gregor. It’s his reliance on science that keeps me listening and trusting his reporting and sharing.

    Trying to convince someone to change their diet is like arguing religions. 😬

  • @VMorgenthaler-yp6yz says:

    If people can have longer healthspans then the retirement age must be raised. It should be 70 now. Perhaps it will eventually be 80. The upside of this is some people can choose to delay entering college and beginning a career. Maybe do public service, join the Peace Corps, travel to see other cultures, gain maturity, and know what they want to become.

    Speaking of animals, could you do a Nutrition Facts video on vegan pet foods for dogs and cats?
