158: Sitting Is the New Smoking with Dr. Keith Diaz

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Keith Diaz to discuss the significant health risks associated with prolonged sitting, likening it to smoking in terms of its dangers.

He emphasizes the importance of regular movement, introducing the concept of 'movement snacks'—short bursts of activity that can mitigate the negative effects of sitting.

We also cover the physiological mechanisms behind how movement affects blood sugar levels and inflammation, as well as insights from blue zones where people naturally incorporate more movement into their daily lives.

Dr. Diaz advocates for personalized movement recommendations to help individuals improve their health outcomes.
