Their small, dense LDL, so these are lipoproteins that are transporting. The bad. Yeah.

Exactly. Causing more atherosclerosis. They went up as well. This was just after three weeks. Beginning of the process. Of a sugar-sweetened beverage, which is the ultimate. Yeah. Right. That's the ultimate machine. But the reality is... But it's gluten-free. It's gluten-free, yes. But it's definitely... It's causing inflammation, massive inflammation at the level of the gut.

And so you can take healthy people and dramatically change their profile within a matter of weeks of having... you know, this ultra processed foods, these sugar sweetened beverages, you know, which again, like.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So again, it's, it comes down to, I think, you know, thinking about why you need to eat is so important because then it's like, I need to get micronutrients. I need to get my, my fiber. I need to get protein. When I say fiber, carbohydrates, right? But it needs to be carbohydrates in the form of fruits and vegetables, which have the micronutrients and the fiber, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So again, it's, it comes down to, I think, you know, thinking about why you need to eat is so important because then it's like, I need to get micronutrients.

And nuts and seeds, yeah, and oats. And then avoiding ultra-processed foods. I think if people were to do that and think about eating that way, and then you have to move, right? You have to be physically active. Being sedentary is a disease, right? Like there's data out there that show people with a low cardiorespiratory fitness.

So this is a marker of, you know, I mean, it's a marker of how physically active you are, essentially. That's an oversimplification. But people with a low cardiorespiratory fitness have the same disease risk as people with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, smokers.

Well, cardiorespiratory fitness is something typically you can measure if you go into like a lab that measures them and they put that like a mask. It's a VO2 max. So it's measuring your maximal oxygen uptake under maximal exercise. They put a mask on you. And that's really how you empirically quantify it. However, if you have like a smartwatch, Apple watches do sort of measure it.

It's not really entirely accurate.
