(2:00) She made some minor changes and is feeling a big difference in how she feels. Be mindful of all your eating and lifestyle habits; some things sneak in that you think won’t make a difference, but they do. For example, too much cream in your coffee, spices with additives, and processed foods (even “healthy” ones). An article from GQ magazine states there are only 5 health numbers that matter. (20:13) Vinnie states these are VO2 Max, resting heart rate, oxygen numbers, blood metrics, vitamin and mineral levels, grip strength, anaerobic strength, and flexibility. The article states VO2 Max, HRV, consistent sleep, respiratory rate, and number of steps—Vinnie agrees that that’s a start. Take the opportunity to add more steps to your day, whether shopping or at the airport, there is a way to get more active. (30:00) Jenny McCarthy has switched from being vegan to being a carnivore. (41:00) Chris reads another headline about vegan burgers and recent food testing. (45:00) They discuss the research and the struggle of imitation meats, which is they will not taste nor be as good as the real thing.
