Get busy livin,Or get busy dyin.I wonder what Lisbon is like, never been, not a clue. What will it smell like? How does the morning coffee ☕️ taste? Is it hot, is there a beach? Do I have to wear a Speedo? Can I wear a Speedo? Will the ladies be friendly (irrespective of my Speedo status)? Funny how you get the idea to go somewhere, sometimes you can’t even remember the seeds that were sewn long ago, yet here you are, reaping that harvest. Bought the ticket yesterday, one carryon, no place to stay booked yet. Do I have to get a Covid test to go? Yes. Does my vaccination enable me to travel? No, only EU approved digital vaccine, not ours. Watch the stories, I’ll document too much. This feels pretty good. I should be traveling more. ✌️ #Travel #Vacation #Portugal #Speedos

Compared to sedentary lifestyle of no exercise, wa

Compared to sedentary lifestyle of no exercise, walking just 15 minutes a day can add 3 years to your life expectancy. Hard to believe, right?When I first looked at this 2011 Lancet study years ago ((Minimum amount of physical activity for reduced mortality and extended life expectancy: a prospective cohort study, by Wen et al), it challenged this idea that if exercise isn't insanity, high intensity, or heavy lifting, it's not worth it. Doesn't do much for your health. Not true.There is benefit that matters (3 years is not just a couple days) even when exercise is not all out insane intense and for hours daily. In fact, the biggest bang for your buck is when you go from inactive to active, from sedentary to active, even for just 15 minutes a day. Reminds my of this myth that if you're not losing weight, eating healthy and exercise aren't working or benefitting you (also not true, I'll tackle this one another time).This little 15 minutes a day mantra has moved me more than once from couch to sidewalk, if only for a short and sweet light walk/jog around the neighborhood. And one day, I will behappy to cash in those 3 extra years. You want those years too? Pretty easy way to get them, no?I can't lift heavy or do high intensity workouts everyday. I have a kid and a job, there are travel days and post 24 hour call exhaustion days where I just don't have it in me. And I'm not 16 anymore, these joints bark at me when I lift too heavy or run too fast for too many days in a row.But I can always do those 15 minutes of at least a little walk. And there's good evidence that it's still beneficial in the long term. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0140673611607496#Doctor #Exercise #Longevity
