Dr. Robert Lustig explains that exercise fixes four of eight subcellular problems driving metabolic disease and aging: mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, inflammation, and autophagy. But it can worsen oxidative stress and won't overcome a bad diet. His priority order: diet first, exercise second, sleep third.
Exercise will.
Fix four of the eight. It will fix.
Mitochondrial dysfunction, which is good. It will fix insulin resistance, which is good.
It will fix.
Inflammation, which is good. And it will fix autophagy, which is also good. Exercise is the second.
Best thing you.
Can do for yourself.
But it won't fix the other four.
In fact, it actually makes oxidative stress worse. Even though exercise is good and I'm.
For it, you.
Actually cannot outrun a bad diet.
Healthy diet first.
Exercise second.
Sleep third.
And you've got the entire trifecta.
