Quick takeaways

Exercise is crucial for health, improving heart health, muscular-skeletal health, fat tissue, and brain health, with recommended levels of moderate-intensity or vigorous-intensity exercise along with strength training.

Diet plays a more significant role in weight loss than exercise, as it is easier to consume calories than burn them through exercise, but exercise can help control appetite, improve body composition, and complement dietary efforts.

Exercising in a fasted state can lead to increased fat burning, improved glucose control, and enhanced insulin sensitivity, but the benefits may vary depending on individual goals and preferences, and a mix of fasted and fed exercise can be suitable.

Our transformation into coach potatoes happened in the blink of an eye. Only 100 years ago, most people relied on manual work to make their living.

Today, things are different. Many of us live our lives in front of a screen. Online shopping and remote work mean some of us don’t need to leave the house at all. So how bad is this for us?
