We’ve released several podcasts recently that focused on metabolic health including maintaining a healthy weight level. And, we’ve discussed that nutrition is a more potent lever than exercise if you’re looking to lose fat. In fact, lots of previous studies have documented the relative futility of relying on exercise for weight loss. However, instead of looking at the exercise/weight loss connection, since our real objective should be a longer healthspan (the period of your life when you are generally healthy, active and have good cognitive function), shouldn’t we ask: What’s more important for our healthspan – a healthy weight or exercise?
