We want to promote metabolism by making mitochondria work better and we want to suppress inflammation. And most of the inflammation is at the level of the gut. In both cases, the food is the problem. What I would say is eat real food. Eat food that came out of the ground or animals that ate the food that came out of the ground, and if you do that, you'll be fine. That is my single best recipe for longevity.
And you always say if you can cook it in your kitchen, right, it's not processed.
You can cook it in your kitchen. It's not not processed. But if it has ingredients you've never heard of, it's not.
Yeah. So what about someone, if they have a cheat day, for example, they eat all this bad food, junk food, away from their regular healthy diet. Can they exercise their way out of that, you know, cheat day diet?
If they only do it one day, it's not a big problem.
