Ep 37 - To be taken with a grain of salt - is salt good or bad for you? 50:43

il y a environ 9 jours50:43

50:43

We got a listener question that was wide open: "What's the deal with salt?" so Michelle did her best to answer it (and did an amazing job of it). We discuss salt, how much you need, how much might be too much, how to read food labels, and the importance of the type of salt you use (yes, it matters!). And Michelle grosses out Kevin with lots of talk about goiters. Got a question for Michelle? A topic suggestion? Send them all to n4noobs@gmail.com. And don't forget to rate us on Apple Podcasts (or where ever you listen to us) and leave us a review - it really helps other listeners like you to find us. Thanks!…

We all want to live longer - and healthier - lives. But is there a template we can follow? While there’s no guarantees (of course!), we might be able to find some clues by looking at regions of the world where people, on average, live longer and healthier. What are their lifestyles like? Michelle breaks out her atlas and we join her on a journey to Vilcabamba, Ecuador, the Caucasus region, Pakistan’s Hunza Valley and Okinawa, Japan, to talk about Alexander Leaf’s groundbreaking research in the 1970s. Let’s learn about “long living” people and see why you should take it as a compliment when someone tells you “you look old!”…
