This video excerpt (Ben Greenfield) discusses how exercise aids energy balance by increasing calorie expenditure and improving metabolic flexibility and insulin sensitivity, which can enhance fat access from storage and allow longer fasting without impairing brain energy. The clip focuses on physiological benefits of low- to moderate-intensity exercise for metabolic health and appetite/fasting tolerance.
Well, I think exercise can really help. Yes. Obviously, it increases your calorie consumption and therefore helps with your energy balance. But in terms of improving your metabolic flexibility, improving your insulin sensitivity, your ability to access fat from.
Storage.
And therefore, being able to also reduce calorie intake and, for example, have longer fasts without starving your brain of energy moving at.
These low intensities during the day. I think the biggest value for that approach, that neat approach, is, number one, you control blood glucose very effectively, so you have lower amounts of glycemic variability. And number two is you burn some extra calories. Right. So I think moving at these low intensities during the day, you know, versus traditional zone two training, those need to be chunked into different categories.
