#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

And I think us discussing the mechanisms, you know, while...

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

I think it's super important because the mechanisms explain why vigorous exercise is more beneficial for health outcomes than we thought with that two to one ratio.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

And that's why it has such as outsized benefit because it's it's sending this louder signal to the body, regardless of what you look at.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

You look at.

#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

You look at blood glucose.

#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

You look at the cardiovascular adaptations.

#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

The overall signal is just louder.

#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

And it's not just a matter of, oh, you burn twice as many calories, so it's twice as good for your health.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

No, you can't really quantify it.

#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

It's an exponentially better increase for X outcome than

that you're looking at this physiological mechanism, it's an exponential increase when you up that intensity.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

And so I think it's important for people to know what mechanisms are responsible.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

And then knowing that you can see, well, this is obviously why vigorous exercises is better or vigorous physical activity, rather to use the correct phrase, compared to lighter and moderate intensities.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

Yeah.

#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

Everybody wants to say, oh, well, PGC-1-alpha, that's like the exercise pill.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

It's like, well, that's just one part of it.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

I think you're responsible probably for the, I don't know, however many like downloads of that article on their website they have.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

Yeah.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

And a lot of those studies, most of those studies, too, were in non-exercisers.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

So they were in people who reported or said that, you know, I don't regularly engage in
