Again , exercise is the foundation of health.

Last night , my 29 year old cousin died of a heart attack , his wife is 9 months pregnant now , he was obese and completely physically inactive , he was 100% focused on work ( truck driver ) and it cost him his life , i saw him a few months ago and we were joking about how he needs to start exercising , i wish i was more serious about it when it came to him , don't think that being fat and inactive only kills you after 50 , it doesn't.

Diet <<<<<<



Exercise

Diet will never give you cardiovascular or physical strength , which are the most important things for health span and lifespan ( of course that diet is also important , but not more than exercise ).

Sorry for your loss

It is not about what it can "give you"

It's about what it can TAKE AWAY.



I'm sorry for your loss. I assume with your cousin being 29 that you are similarly young.

I promise you that diet is WAY way more important than exercise. The skinny person who doesn't workout will live decades longer than the fatty that lifts.

Exercise is the EASY part.
You will see as you get older.

Actually it has been proven that fat people that are fit underneath the fat are healthier than weak skinny people (or weak people in general , because muscles are a very important organs for glucose disposal , insulin resistance etc. Not to mention bone density that get's stronger with exercise or cardiovascular efficiency ).
I am 34 years old.

You seem to have your mind made up.

You are definitely wrong though.

Bad diet is the express lane to early death.

"Fat but fit" is largely a myth and a dangerously misunderstood one at that. People see Daniel Cormier and then assume their fat relative who goes to the gym twice a month to look at his phone is gonna be fine. That's not reality it's just a lie people tell themselves to feel better.

If you want to live long, get your diet in check AND train your body. If you can only do one, get your diet under control.

I think you need both, promote & enhance the other, lifestyle wise.
Which is more important the heart or lungs? type deal.

Peter Attia MD, states that V02 max & strength levels, muscle mass are the biggest predictors of longevity.
That said, one would have to be spot on with their nutrition I would think, to make sure all markers are in check.
It's pre requisite as well.

I find it more often than not, when you meet people that are fitter: they eat healthier & vice versa, people who eat cleaner, did so to support more active fitness oriented lifestyle.

Whatever you say

There ya go.

I was hoping you would come to accept reason!

This should be all of us, before every post

Mortality risks when comparing fit people to unfit people , also smokers to non smokers , diabetics to non diabetics etc.
Now find me the one with these kind of numbers when it comes to diet

First things first, RIP. Sorry to hear that.

Before anything though, get your diet in order. If you eat like a jackass then you will need to spend a monumental amount of time exercising just to compensate for your terrible diet. If you eat properly then of course you still need to exercise for cardio and strength but you can be smart about it and far more efficient.

I think the one thing that was not focused on yet was that your cousin is a truck driver. Unfortunately that is one of the worst jobs to lead a healthier lifestyle. You're talking about a job where you sit and drive for 8 to 14 hours a day depending on this or that situation. On top of that you have to be careful of asshole drivers so the stress can be next level. After enough driving offenses no decent company will put you on.

I don't want to speak for your cousin but I don't want to think it was only exercise. It was numerous things. Unfortunately if you drive through most small towns in America you're not going to get any decent quality food much less a quality gym. Hell, there are some counties in America that don't even have decent parks where you can do basic exercise.

He didn’t say exercise isn’t important, just that it starts with your diet.


You get out of your body what you put into it.

He had a lot of money , he just chose to eat like crap and not exercise , there were also studies back in the 1950's and 60's that compared bus drivers to bus conductors , and these studies lasted a long time , so conductors would walk around the bus all day checking for tickets while the drivers were only sitting. At the end of the study they found 50% less heart disease in conductors when compared to the drivers. They did a similar study on office workers and compared the sedentary one's with active one's and they got very similar results , about 40-50% less heart disease in active people.
