If you're carrying a lot of weight when you get older, even if it's muscle, I don't think it's ideal.

The new nutrition guidelines for the US just came out today.

They basically inverted the food pyramid.

Limited amount of grains, fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs.

You know, it's funny, it's basically what has been talked about in the fitness bodybuilding community for a very long time.

I mean, it's so funny because now everyone's like, oh, you know, this is so outrageous.

But that was pulled from the sport that you're describing.

So for people who might not be familiar with the names, because our listenership is broad, I think it's important for people to understand how something like fitness or health progresses.

It pulls these things from the pioneers that were willing to frankly go pioneer how it's done.

It doesn't come from university studies and I say that as a university professor, it comes from the real world and then back through.

I mean, I don't know about the US but I went to a conference in London and it was a National Health Service.

How they're now going to study more nutrition because in their five or six years they do, they do two hours study on nutrition, which is like, I mean, you can't even get high school level understanding in two hours.

So I was pleased to hear that now they're, you know, they're going to look at nutrition as part of the health thing.

But it was funny because they were promoting a plant based diet.

But you know, unfortunately it's going to lack this and this and this.

So we need to reinforce it with supplements.

But that raises cholesterol, so that's bad.

But we'll have a very deficient diet and have to supplement it.

I felt like wouldn't it be better just to take the diet that has the nutrients in the first place?

So I see competitive bodybuilding is like the peak of an iceberg.

You know, it's an extreme, it's right at the top.

But the basic things that we learn can apply to somebody that wants to improve their health.

So at an extreme level, we could say maybe it's unhealthy, but

if you take the basic principles, it can be very healthy.

Having your hormones in the correct place, building muscle mass.

There's incredible things that you can do for your health and you won't be needing to rely on medications to control your blood sugar and your blood pressure and whatever else Your body can do it itself.

You know, it wasn't really anything to do with health.

I mean, it's not at competitive level, let's say maybe it could be, but

I could hike, I could ride a bike, do Pilates.

I could do yoga, you know, done boxing, done loads of things.

But I just like to exercise, and I like to feel good.

It's like, this is my vehicle that I've got to experience life in a physical reality.

If this isn't working well, I'm not gonna have much fun.

I'm not gonna have a good quality of life.

And what do I want for the next, you know, however long?

I want to be able to do these things that I love to do, and

I want to be around and be healthy for my kids.

I do something every day, different things.

I do that maybe a couple of times a week, Moderate weights, because I don't want to.

I got a torn bicep on this side, a torn tricep tendon, and some shoulder issues.

it's just mechanically, my right side is stronger than my left side.

You know, a lot of people who don't train, I didn't keep my height.

I posted about a month ago, six weeks on my page, just teasing people because I went to get some arthritics in my shoes, you know?

And the guy's got the measuring thing, so I just stood on it and said, you're 183.

Walked in thinking maybe people usually lose a little bit of height unless they train real hard and they make sure to take good care of themselves.

Because I've been doing Pilates and functional training and resetting the shoulders back My posture is much better, so I'm standing straighter, which gives me an extra inch of height.

No, I haven't taken huge amounts of growth hormone and suddenly grew when I was 60 years old.

It's just my posture and the way I stand, there's less curvature shoulder there, so you lose a bit of height.

Because when you lift and your pecs get bigger and lat, your shoulders rotate forward.

You're trying to hunch forward so you're sitting a little bit lower.

I didn't even know I was, like, measuring myself.

That's just because I'm standing straighter and my shoulders are back.
