I haven't got an analogy for you guys to start the episode off this week. I just had an interesting fact that Mac had in one of her lectures that she was talking about. It was quite scary, but again, the more you know, the more you can act on these things, and it is by 2025. So three years, one in three people will be considered obese. So I want you now to sit there and think of two other friends, and one of you is going to be obese, and I know that metrics and everything they use, like the BMI and all that sort of stuff, is. Not the best thing to measure. Off, but it's still a scary fact, even if it's not a base. It's overweight, yeah. And yeah, I sort of. I feel like I want to say this just so, like we always say, you can't improve on something that you're not measuring, or you don't know. So maybe you could start measuring your health, and you can improve on it. And you cannot be one of those three. Just become aware, I guess yeah, didn't you say something about longevity? In programming the other day to me, it was in our group called Client Group Call. I brought it up, so one of our clients brought up a pretty exciting podcast, Joe Rogan and Peter Attia.
Peter Attia, Basically specializes in longevity, which means he puts all these efforts and everything. Into improving life but having more extended life and. Good quality life. So yes, you're going to live longer, but it's also going to be good quality, so you know you're going to be able to be active. Working out, you know your brain functions working as it would when you're younger all the way through until you die. So he's spoken about. How do you say I'll bring it up so? To quote him again, it's a bit of a long podcast. Joe Rogan seems to carry on a lot these days. It's a lot and sort of gets off-topic, but if you skip about an hour, I think it is into their episode. He says a program focused on strength, muscle mass, and cardiovascular health. Will 5X be your all-time all because of mortality? So you will live for longer if you focus on a good program by five times.
So basically, you sort of breaks it down a little bit in the episode. So strength comes down to as we get older. Hear about it all the time. Older adults have slips, trips and breaking hips, and all that stuff. Strength comes down to obviously being more stable on your feet and not falling. And if you do, you can catch yourself or prevent yourself from falling super hard to see yourself on your hands in a push-up position or that sort of stuff and not break your wrist and all that. So that's where the most substantial part of it comes later in life. Muscle mass, as we all know, always talk about your muscles and moving your joints, so the better quality muscle and not necessarily huge—an extensive and bulky but just good Kali muscle around your joints.
This means your joints will function correctly for a lot longer, and obviously, that's going to cause fewer issues than cardiovascular fitness. That's your heart, lungs, and everything like that, and that governs a lot, so he sort of goes into it a lot deeper, so it's worth it if that sort of come. That is something to your interest in improving.
You can hit us up for a good program and that sort of stuff but listen to that. The episode he sorts of does go into how he trains for it, but he teaches 10 hours a week. Yeah, that's a bit excessive, yeah. So all I'd say, and I sort of had a little bit of a chat about this with the client, and it's like. You've got to focus on what's important first and what you're lacking in so, or I always say, build a good base of strength. So if you do for you do trip anything like that, you can catch yourself. You're not going to get injured as much. All that sort of stuff, especially when you start adding in high intensity and all that sort of stuff. Plyometrics, you're not going to injure yourself, so you can continue training. To build strength when you focus on strength, muscle generally comes anyway, and then start building on your cardio. Base yeah, and improving that, and you don't have to be an elite level athlete. It's just a good quality mixture of all of them. So yeah, that was very interesting again.
If that's something you're interested in, listen to that podcast with Joe Rogan and Peter Attia. Yeah, cool, that's about all I have, so that's a pretty easy thing to work on: Walter and make yourself live longer. Wasn't there something to do with smoking? Oh yeah. So basically, a good program is that effective. Even if you smoke and drink, it will still reduce yours. Goal because of mortality. So you get still going to leave for longer. Yeah, so you don't have to quit everything that you do. Enjoy, yeah, so you can still live a good life as long as you're got a good program and good cardiovascular fitness, you can still do everything you love. To an extent, Even he said no drug or supplement in the world can. That is is that is as effective as a good program you are. It's crazy, yeah, but it makes sense. It does, right?
In evolution, I guess we evolved to eat food that Is good in quotation marks or food high in calories, you know. So like way back in the caveman days, I suppose anything high in calories. We were drawn to it because we needed the energy because the food was scarce.
So just something that came up in my lecture was. How? Because of that, our environment affects how the food we eat and how much we eat. Like so much, I feel more than we did not even know so. The lecturer was talking about how. Uhm? The environment triggers us to eat, so I guess and the time of the day. So like lunchtime breakfast, the lunch break room, watching TV, sitting on the bus as all of those things trigger you to eat. Whereas like morning, yeah like this sums up the sun goes down yeah so whereas back in the day we would only eat food. We could get it at whatever time we could get it and also like it on the environment side. We're hardwired to see a cupcake, and it's high in calories. We're hardwired to want to eat it. One because it's sweet and we like it. And two, because it's high in calories and we essentially wish for the energy, or our brain tells us that we need the power when we might not need all of the power. Because these days that type of high-calorie food is everywhere. Whereas like. I don't know what word to use. In the olden days. Yeah, well, you go back even couple hundred years. Suppose you were like when you just had farms and all that sort of stuff for food. Yeah, if you come across a business, you could get honey. Yeah, very calorie-dense. So it was very sort after and very rare to get it. Mainly because the high risk of getting stung and dot and dying was a risk, but now you can go supermarket to get honey. Yeah, right, so like. First, the long, like thousands of years, will condition us to go after those sweet things, and we associate life and long-living longer with those lovely things because it gave us so many calories. Yeah, but now it's everywhere, and you can't escape it. Yeah, yeah, which? Yeah, it's just it boils my mind because I feel like. A lot of people don't think of the environment as the problem.
Many people think of the problem as self-control, and I feel like many people blame overweight people for being overweight like they chose to be overweight. They decided to eat all that food when really, and you just. They are being influenced by your environment, which is manipulated to make you eat more food by more processed higher-calorie foods. Yeah, so one study that they spoke about was putting.
People in a cave. I don't know why they chose to put them in a cave, or they could have just done it in like a blend plain room. But anyway, they put people in a cave, fed them a meal and then waited to see how long it was until they were hungry because they didn't have the queue of it being midnight, or their coworkers being in the break room or the smell of Donuts, they didn't have any cues for hunger. There's no light. There's nothing there yet. Probably minimal artificial light and all that sort of stuff. Yeah, they had no idea. As the time of the day and the environment were not stimulating. And they didn't get hungry at 12. They got hungry many hours later. And it was there they got physically hungry, so they weren't emotionally or mentally hungry. The stomach was growling. So it's just like crazy to think about how much the environment can trigger you to think you're hungry, or like tell you it's time to eat. This is when we usually eat like go get lunch. I don't care if you're hungry or not, yeah, whereas when you have no stimulants, it's just like you don't get hungry until your stomach tells you not. Rather than your mind telling you that you're hungry, and I feel like everywhere you look, there is. Signs to eat food? Yeah, like this takeaway. There's on TV your phones like there's always food on Instagram or whether it's advertising or just somebody eating something, it's just everywhere. It's everywhere. Everywhere.
The USA government spent 2.0 sorry, not two $4.2 billion an advertising for just fast food. So not food fast food, so take away. $4.2 a year for her outright? And then you see food everywhere, and these days it's acceptable to eat around so you can eat in a meeting you can eat on the train in the car like yeah. At your desk in front of the TV, whereas like 100 not even 100 years ago, it was mostly only acceptable to eat at the table with your family. Yeah, I feel like that was only 40 years ago. Yeah, so now you can eat. Not only is are you seeing food everywhere. Not only is food super high in calories and easy to get, now you can eat it everywhere and anytime at any time of the day.
Anytime you're just crazy, And then I guess that comes down like why we encourage everybody or and all their clients @ up to count calories just so you're aware of how much putting in your body? Yeah, because you don't learn it in school and don't understand. Like about Cal. I don't remember learning about calories in school. No, you don't. It's just the food pyramid. Yeah, which is way off, but most packaged food isn't on the food pyramid. So what he wants to do with it? Yeah, anyway, but I just thought that that related nicely to the.
One in three obesity thing because. It's easy to accidentally, I want to say accidentally, but that's why we say this sort of stuff and bring up these studies so you can start being aware of your habits and your environment and what you trigger you to eat. Yeah, next time you see a like food advertising sign, recognize if you want that food. And if you want to know counting calories for a week or two, yeah, and then you'll be surprised at how much is actually going in or not going in. I want to bring up. We don't watch TV, but we watch YouTube, and there are ads on YouTube, right? So we aren't exposed to. I guess advertising is as much as the everyday person, but I'll be like a man when we see those ads later that day or even the next day. I feel like a pizza or KFC, but I don't want Casey. I more feel like fried chicken of some sort. Yeah, when I haven't been around those foods. I haven't eaten those foods for years, but I saw—an ad for two days prior or a day prior. I'm like, oh man. I could go for that, yeah. So be aware of your surroundings. Yep. Cool, I wanted to talk about one last thing because it is Christmas time, and we haven't acknowledged it yet. I suppose we don't choose I. We did a perfect podcast on Tuesday about surviving Christmas and Christmas Day. Go back and never listen to that one.
But I have been talking with many people about Christmas movies, and I put a question box up on my Instagram for suggestions. And there were so many suggestions and everyone's. So I'm just going to give my top three favourite Christmas. Movies.
Jack is like the Grinch.
It's a type. I don't know if it's the holiday when these two women swap houses and lives or Love, which is a classic. And it follows a few different couples and stuff. And then they all meet the end. I feel like Love is my top Christmas movie. Yeah, it's a good one. It is. It's just different, like it's the other plot. You know, like it has that British humour in it. Yes, that's why if anyone has British comedy. Christmas movies tell me because I love them. Uhm, my third one was going to be Harry Potter because it is set at Christmas many times, but I feel like it's just that long. It's Christmas in it like they cover a year at a time. Yeah, well, exactly that's why it can be classified as a Christian movie. I feel like. A good one to watch every Christmas. He can sort of doom in order, or something like that is die-hard. Yeah, I knew Green said that every like that was probably the most popular Christmas movie in my question box. What the heck, people? Good Christmas movie? But if you agree or disagree, make sure you screenshot this and put it on Instagram stories. Put your three top three Christmas movies. Please give us some ideas and tag us to see them and share. If our community as well, yes, it would be fantastic. And you only got 2. Hard to think of a Christmas movie on the spot. The Grinch. It's your movie. It is not everything.
Fingers, this is so long. OK, fine, I'll try and think of one for next week, but next week we have got Q&A's, so we're just answering questions next week, so make sure you tune in for that one. Hit subscribe, follow wherever you are. If you got any questions, make sure you head over to Instagram. Just keep an eye on our stories.

I did want to have you got your phone there? Yeah, I just did. I give everybody a little thing to think of.
I feel like at the moment. Millions and billions and trillions just get thrown around and risk because you hear a billion. It's hockey. I don't know how much that is, but it's just like because you don't. You've never actually seen a billion. Yes, yeah, you don't know how many it is. So bring up Google type in how long is 1,000,000 seconds.
You'll be surprised by the difference, and it gives you an idea of how. Much a billion is because I feel like we billions just get thrown around. Like yeah, it's just a billion bucks, billion dollars whatever. Oh, as in for the government spending $4.2 billion on advertising, yeah, so how many?
So a million seconds is 12 days.
Yeah, now type in a billion seconds. So 12 days it takes for a million seconds to pass. And then what the **** that remains like crazy? Is that the difference? Difference?
One billion seconds is 31.69 years.
Yeah, we went from a couple of days or just under two weeks to 31 years. Is the difference? That's how much difference the money is? Or 11,574 days? Yeah, what now type in a trillion? I feel like people see the government spent $4.2 billion on advertising. We dismiss that, but that is a lot of money like it's enormous, and I know there's more being out airs out there than ever before, and all that sort of stuff, and I feel like it just gets thrown around you don't know how much is it.
