Deep dives

Listening to fitness gurus is often a distraction

Listening to fitness gurus and seeking magic solutions for exercise and healthy eating is often a distraction from the basic principles of living healthily. Fitness influencers promote their supplement packages, extreme diets, and cold plunge practices, but they fail to emphasize the simple truth: eat whole foods, exercise moderately but frequently, drink very little, if at all, and don't smoke. These basic principles are well-known, and until we implement them, we are wasting time and money on other solutions.
