The BluePrint with Dr. Erik Korem

#523. The Hidden Key to Longevity: Intensity Over Quantity


Listen Later

Think you're moving enough to stay healthy? Think again. In this eye-opening episode of The BluePrint, I dive into groundbreaking research that's challenging everything we thought we knew about physical activity and longevity.

I unpack a recent study from the European Journal of Preventative Cardiology that suggests how you move might be just as crucial as how much you move. Get ready to rethink your approach to daily activity and exercise.

Learn:

  • Why intensity trumps volume in reducing mortality risk
  • The surprising link between movement patterns and cardiovascular health
  • How short, intense bursts of activity can significantly impact longevity
  • Why age makes maintaining activity levels even more critical
  • Practical strategies to incorporate effective movement into your busy day

Paper: Intensity or volume: the role of physical activity in longevity

Quotable moments:

"It's not just about moving more. It's about moving more often with a bit more intensity." - Dr. Erik Korem

"Even small increases in intensity can make a big difference. We're talking about the difference between a leisurely stroll and a brisk walk." - Dr. Erik Korem

"As you age, intensity is going to be relative. [...] Research has shown that high intensity activities are safe for older adults, especially people with heart issues when done under correct supervision." - Dr. Erik Korem
