In today’s episode we explore the question of ‘do we need to exercise?’. We take a deep dive into the extent to which we can control our own health outcomes. Does exercise really benefit health? What is the minimal effective dose? Can we hack our genetics to improve our health markers? Also within this episode we take a look at the 10,000 step goal and find out why we are all so obsessed with hitting this cemented goal. We finish up the episode with some takeaway points for you to improve your health without focussing on exercise.
4:30 Our health is controlled by so many factors, but how much does exercise play a role. Here we list the benefits of regularly doing exercise.
9:25 What is the minimal effective dose of exercise? For those who are busy, how can we get the most ‘bang for buck’ with our exercise schedule?
14:20 Is more exercise always better? Is there a maximum amount of exercise that is good for the human body?
17:23 Can we ‘hack’ our health and bypass genetic and environmental factors?
22:35 How much does genetics play a role in the way our body looks? Will working out and eating exactly like your favourite influencer give you a body just like theirs?
27:35 Muscle building and genetics. How much does our ability to grow muscle come down to genetic factors?
30:30 Here we explore the social determinants of health - these are the economic and social conditions that influence differences in health status.
34:40 What is the deal with 10,000 steps. Is this the benchmark of ‘good health’ and why are we all so obsessed with achieving this goal?
39:40 We discuss the strong correlation between grip strength and mortality risk.
42:00 How can we improve our health without exercising? Here we list some top tips to get started with!
