I have always believed plant-based nutrition studies to be inaccurate due to insufficient, misrepresented data. For affordable and properly sourced meat (grass-fed, pastured) you should support local farms. You are what you eat eats! Ask how their livestock is raised.

Analyses revealed that meat intake is positively correlated with life expectancies. This relationship remained significant when influences of caloric intake, urbanization, obesity, education and carbohydrate crops were statistically controlled. Stepwise linear regression selected meat intake, not carbohydrate crops, as one of the significant predictors of life expectancy. In contrast, carbohydrate crops showed weak and negative correlation with life expectancy.

A team of scientists from Australia, Italy, Poland and Switzerland has examined the association between meat intake and life expectancy at a population level based on ecological data published by the United Nations agencies.

Researchers found that when studying individuals' grip strength, those with stronger arms and hands were at less of a risk when it came to contracting cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, developing chronic ailments, and having many forms of cancer.

Because grip strength is associated with muscle strength in both the arms and legs, older adults with strong upper and lower bodies tend to have a stronger grip. Unsurprisingly, individuals with better strength tend to also have better balance, bone density, and overall physical functioning.

Studies have proven that arm strength and longevity are linked. Three experts explain how to strengthen your arms and your grip.

There’s so much more to this iron game than just the physical aspect.

Low fat diets are unhealthy!

Bottom line: Even though fats are complicated, eating a fat-free diet is not good for your health.⁣
⁣
Fats help you absorb all of the beneficial fat-soluble vitamins in plant foods, and some fats have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. The key is to eat the right fats and stay clear of the wrong fats.⁣
⁣
I like to eat 3 to 5 servings of fat per day, and eat fats mostly with vegetables. My favorite fats are avocados, olives, nuts and seeds, and traditional oils like extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil. Small amounts of butter, grass-fed ghee, and coconut or MCT oil are fine for most of us. If you’re eating a high-fat diet and are curious about how it’s affecting your body, I recommend looking into the NMR particle-size cholesterol test.

The results you achieve will be in direct proportion to the effort you apply. 💯

No surprise here!

New research findings indicate that physical activity benefits brain health, particularly for older adults.

You can only control you. Don’t compare someone’s “chapter 12” to your “chapter 1.” Focus on what YOU can improve. Steady progress each and every week, month and year adds up.
