And I think that a lot of the data would show you need a lot more moderate intensity activity or the dose response of that is much higher than the 153 minutes, which actually had been increased a little bit.
They recently added the 300 minutes.
It used to be just 150.
But I think, yeah, based on what we've been talking about today, I mean...
They certainly need an update and probably an update where we exclude a lot of these earlier self-report studies and just say, we have so much data from wearable devices now.
We have big health data.
I mean, you know, and we have companies like now Google and Aura and Fitbit.
I think Google probably owns Fitbit, but it's just everybody has a wearable these days.
And the fact that we can't mine some of these larger data sets like the UK Biobank or the NHANES and formulate
better guidelines that are based on objective evidence, I think is kind of a disservice probably to public health.
Maybe it's similar to the food pyramid.
I'm not even sure anybody looks at those guidelines and is like, OK, I need I'm going to get 75 minutes per week of vigorous activity.
But I think they need an update.
And I think that the idea that we're just saying, yes, you know, twice as much moderate if you're, you know, been vigorous, that certainly is a little bit outdated based on what we've talked about today and just other data that's out there.
I feel like every other week I'm seeing a WHOOP study usually published in Nature where they do a lot of interesting stuff with their data too.
So it's just showing that physical activity and different types of exercise and even when you perform it at different times of day.
I think this kind of going back to the idea of simplicity, the public health guidelines for some people, like they have to be simple.
And I think that has informed sort of this, well, we're just gonna say 150 to 300 minutes or 75 to 150, because it is simple.
If you make it too complex, people get confused and they just say, forget it.
