It also, it's incredible for diabetes, for blood sugar control.

I mean, just walking after dinner is a great way to keep your blood sugar down, helps you become more insulin sensitive.

And very importantly, it helps you build muscle mass and function.

Because as you get older, you lose muscle, it's called sarcopenia, and that leads to all these hormonal and metabolic changes that accelerate aging and lower testosterone, high

high cortisol, the stress hormone, higher blood sugar, worsening cholesterol.

I mean, just lower growth hormone and increased cortisol.

Like I said, it's just, it's really bad news.

So building muscle is really important and that's clearly only done by exercise.

So hopefully, listening to all this, you realize you can't afford not to move.

My basically philosophy is if you don't move, you won't.

Literally.

You'll be dead.

So how can you actually incorporate more movement?

What can you do without having to drag yourself to the gym?

Now, I go to the gym sometimes, but I rather play.

And I think there's a lot of options.

And you can just do simple things like start –

with simple things, even five minutes a day.

And if you don't have five minutes a day to do something, there's something wrong with your life.

So you better look at that.
