Get out on your lunch break and save a life!

A new meta-analysis that included 21 randomized controlled trials on breaking up long periods of sitting with general movement (mainly walking). The most apparent benefits was on executive function and working-memory-related performance.

Why? It helps keep the brain blood flow moving. It helps open up the arteries to let the blood flow. It helps with glucose regulation (the dreaded after lunch crash).

How? Walk between focused work blocks. Move at natural transition points, between tasks. Change working positions between walks.

If you cannot walk at the office, doing mini movements will also help. Think light calisthenics movements.

I've said it before and I will say it again!
One of the easiest things you can do for your overall health is to start taking OMEGA 3s. The longer you have been taking them the more it affective it will be at protecting you; a perfect example of this is Alzheimer's Disease.
The best time to take them was a year ago. The second best time is right now!

Everyone gets inundated with health habits, supplements or "new breaking" thing. Lets keep it simple. The biggest 3 repeatable behaviors that will make the biggest impact.

1) Move every day- (the classic) 10,000 steps AND a total of 10 minutes of vigorous activity (high heart rate and breathing heavy)
2) Eat a nutrient dense diet- straight forward; fruits, vegies, high omega-3s and low ultra-processed foods
3) Protect your sleep- Aligning light, foot and your wake up time to closely match your circadian biology

Should I have a snack right before bed? Probably not.

The reason might be how melatonin communicates with the pancreas to "turn off" your metabolic systems but, when you snack right before bed it "turns on" the same metabolic systems. This causes a mismatch within your body.

What it DID help with is lower starting values (lower heart rate and blood pressure, improved heart-rate variability, lower cortisol) and better regulation (better glucose handling and cardiovascular regulation).
What it DID NOT help with is systemic issues, with in the body (fasting blood sugar, average systolic or diastolic blood pressure, whole-body insulin sensitivity) nor with sleeping as a whole.
