We're looking at actual health outcomes and we're looking at what it took in terms of like,

you know, the types of exercise to achieve those risk reductions and those health outcomes.

And right now, the 75 minutes to 150 minutes of vigorous intensity activity, you think that's just, that's what you need to do to get, you know, 150 minutes to 300 minutes of moderate intensity activity.

That one to two ratio

Out the door.

Out the door.

Would you agree?

Yeah, I do think that, I don't know that people look at the food pyramid, but I do know that people ask me all the time about how much exercise is optimal for like, you know, aging the best and lowering my risk for, you know, disease X, Y, and Z, right?

And so I do, there's definitely a lot of people that are interested in health that look at those guidelines.

And even people like me who are trying to figure out like, what are the guidelines and how do I communicate this information to the public?

I mean, I am using those guidelines as well.

And now I feel like

my, my, my, you know, I've shifted my understanding of that, those guidelines, and I have a different sort of take on them where, where it's like, okay, well, maybe we're really undervaluing the importance of vigorous physical activity.

And so that needs to be communicated to people, you know, maybe we don't say, look, this is the new guideline, because obviously, like you said, we don't make the guidelines.

And there's probably a lot that goes into making these guidelines that we don't quite understand, or maybe there isn't, I don't know.

But, you know,

you know, I think we can at least communicate to people that, hey, look, there's new studies out there now showing that it's not just a one to two ratio.

And in fact, depending on the health outcome we're looking at, that ratio changes.

You know, and that's how biology is.

It's not just this big blanket thing, right?
