Exercise is prayer. The science is pretty clear. It's one of the very best things you can do for your health. I will focus on four key areas. Strength, cardio, balance and flexibility. I'll do some resistance training to build and maintain muscle, high intensity interval training to boost cardiovascular health and mobility, and balance drills to keep my body resilient and injury free. Immediately following exercise, I'll head into the sauna, one of my new favorite longevity tools. Based upon the evidence we've gathered so far. 20 minutes at 200 degrees Fahrenheit, no 93 degrees Celsius. It boosts my heart health metabolism and reduces inflammation. Sweating also dramatically lowered the toxins in my body. And for a little added contrast, I will strategically place ice packs on the boys to keep them cool. The goal we have with any new therapy is to find the highest performing therapies for longevity. We're pretty excited so far about Sana.
