there’s so many things that contribute

to either getting healthy or creating a

disease and there are many things that

people are doing that create this health

or disease but today we’re going to talk

about something different something that

a person is not doing that’s

contributing to a disease and this is

called an Omission those omissions are

really hard to see so whether an

Omission being something that’s lacking

in your diet or in your environment you

don’t really see those things because

they’re invisible so today I’m going to

talk about how the lack of physical

activity no motion can affect your genes

and it is significant it’s actually

quite fascinating

um I talk a lot about nutrition and food

and things like that but I don’t think I

have any videos in this one topic and

how that impacts your health it’s quite

interesting so before we get into it go

ahead and type down below how much

physical activity or exercise you do on

a weekly basis let’s first cover this

definition of the word

sedentary and that means a person has a

tendency to sit for a long period of

time the derivation comes from the Latin

word which means sit if you’re sanitary

you sit a lot either watching TV during

computer games or whatever here’s the

problem our bodies were developed to

survive with a lot of motion and so if

you really evaluate and look at the

genetics inside our bodies

um boy does inactivity create a lot of

problems both in the activation of

disease promoting genes as well as the

inhibition of Health promoting genes

because our genes have developed long

ago with motion our bodies now because

we’re so sedentary create a lot of

issues just because of this lack of

motion in fact if you look at physical

inactivity that comprises 31 of the

population 15 years or older so let’s

talk about how that impacts our health

and the study that I’m going to

summarize right now is just comparing

people that get less than 2.5 hours per

week of physical activity to those who

get more than 2.5 hours of physical

activity their risk of breast cancer

goes up by 22 percent mortality

increases by 41 that’s your risk of

dying just with physical inactivity

incredible cardiovascular disease

increases by 43 percent your risk for

getting diabetes increases by 85 percent

death caused from cardiovascular disease

from diabetes is at 92 percent gallstone

risk increases by 49 colon cancer

increases by 85 percent risk of stroke

increases by 117 percent just from

physical inactivity mind-blowing you

know we have this concept that taking

time off having leisure time is going to

increase our survival you know sitting

on the beach doing nothing that might

help for a little bit because it’s going

to reduce stress but not for a long

period of time you need to be staying in

motion to reduce stress now I have a lot

of personal experience on this if I

don’t physically keep my body in motion

boy I have have all sorts of

inflammation all the years of old

injuries and arthritis start talking to

me I am a perfect textbook on this topic

because I have to exercise or I don’t do

well in fact my body or my genetics is

developed for a lot of physical labor

outside like chopping wood or cutting

trees down how do I know that because

every time I do that my body does so

much better I sleep like a baby I have

no stress physically I feel the best

versus those times I do nothing I think

in my life between my late 20s and my

early 40s I don’t think I exercise

very very much at all and that was a

time where I had the most problems in

fact for me I don’t think it was until I

got into my like early 40s that I really

started to take exercise seriously on a

daily basis but now we know why exercise

is important because it activates

certain genes that increase your health

increase your survival I mean just

exercise alone will increase your

cognitive function and a sedentary life

will decrease your cognitive function

and your overall mood and it really

messes up your cholesterol values as

well they found that people that are

inactive have a much worse lipid profile

people that are inactive have more uh

sympathetic nervous system activation

which is more flutter fight which leads

to more stress and lack of high quality

sleep people that have less physical

activity have higher blood sugars they

have more insulin they have more insulin

resistance this is why just exercise

alone can greatly help your blood sugars

as well as help you fix that insulin

resistance you see this goes Way Beyond

just exercising for weight loss you want

to exercise for major health benefits

and another big reason why I personally

exercise is it reduces inflammation now

that comes with a a little explanation

because you can over train and keep your

body in an inflamed State

when I reviewed my DNA profile

my greatest weakness was inflammation

okay and especially if I over exercise

which explains a lot early on when I was

in high school wrestling and college

wrestling boy did I go into the season

really strong

but you exercise every single day for

like two hours and I would go home and

exercise twice a day and so I was over

training my jeans are not designed to

over train some athletes are lucky and

they have genes that they can repair so

fast in fact they have evaluated Elite

sprinters and their genetics are

designed for massive power incredible

recovery their collagen repairs really

fast they’re less at risk for getting

injured so unfortunately I don’t have

those jeans I wish I did but for the

majority of the population you really

want to make sure that you don’t ever

over train but at the same time

for your own Survival your own health

you need to do regular consistent

exercise and uh very quickly you could

find out what type of exercise you need

by doing different types of exercise and

then seeing how your body responds to it

some people are much better with power

type intense exercise maybe with a

shorter duration that’s me whereas other

people might do much better with

endurance type exercise I have the body

that is not good for marathons or any

type of endurance type exercise so this

is why I do short bursts of high

intensity exercise with lots of rest and

lots of sleep so very simply three

recommendations okay number one

consistent regular exercise based on

whatever you respond to now it doesn’t

have to be exercise it can be any

physical activity it could be working

outside would be the best or it could be

inside anything that increases motion

would be be a valid therapy and the

thing I like about physical work is you

also are productive doing it versus just

you know being on a treadmill number two

make sure your sleep is good if you have

problems with that I put some videos

down below for you to watch and number

three this is a really big problem for a

lot of people and this relates to

exercise you always always want to keep

your inflammation low so this would mean

don’t over train eat foods that are

anti-inflammatory

and I want to just mention this one

little Point there’s a lot of research

out there that people will tell you that

red meat will cause inflammation it

causes cancer it causes this causes that

but they really don’t differentiate

between the grass-fed grass finished

meat versus grain fed you know the

regular meat that you get in the grocery

store which these animals are fed

omega-6 grains which increase the

inflammation versus the grass which

gives them omega-3 fatty acids so really

there’s a huge difference if you’re

consuming grass-fed grass finished

animal products you are eating a food

that is anti-inflammatory now the same

thing with fish right you have Farm fed

fish versus wild caught especially

salmon so all the seafood is very very

high in omega-3

omega-3 is extremely protective against

inflammatory genes and against over

training when you’re exercising vitamin

D is another really really important

anti inflammatory nutrient it’s the most

important about soluble vitamin

especially during the winter you need to

take vitamin D and even during this

summer months it’s becoming more and

more common for people to find out they

have genetic weaknesses with absorbing

or activating vitamin D in which case

explains a lot it explains why their

immune system is low explains why they

have aches and pains because vitamin D

is intimately involved with so many

different biochemical reactions so

vitamin D is at the very top of the list

as far as important nutrients fasting

kind of goes along with exercise as far

as the ability to influence your genes

it’s called epigenetics and so if you’re

doing a lot of snacks that’s bad you

need to do intermittent fasting okay and

also exercise those two items should be

emphasized just as much as what you eat

now since we are on the topic of

physical activity I did a really great

video on explaining

the basics of exercise and how you can

use that to optimize your results check

it out I put it up right here
