Harvard Professor: "10,000 Steps A Day" Is A LIE! Revealing The 7 BIG LIES About Exercise, Sleep, Running, Cancer & Sugar!!! Daniel Lieberman

One of the biggest debates on the planet. What advice have you got for me? So this is not a well known fact. But Daniel Lieberman. He studies and teaches how humans are supposed to live. Author and professor at Harvard University for Exercise Disease. Sleep nutrition. He has the answers and all of those things that most of us care about. We evolved to be very physically active. Working in the fields, hunting, gathering. But now we have in a world where only 50% of Americans ever exercise. And the rest of the world is headed our way. Cancers, depression, anxiety can attribute that to less physical activity. In fact, women who get 150 minutes of physical activity a week have uh thirty to fifty percent lower breast cancer risks. And it's crazy, right? The problem is that we spend three percent of our medical budget on prevention.

And yet 75% of the time the disease is a preventable disease. It's a completely backward, stupid system. When you started writing this book about exercise, was there any instant changes that you implemented into your own life? Strength training. The more I study the importance of doing weights, especially as you age, the more I started kicking myself for being lazy about that. When people retire, they've become less active. And then that starts off a vicious cycle. So would you say we should retire? Well, it's a very modern Western concept. And yes, we do pay a price for it. So how does one go from having a negative opinion towards exercise to becoming an exerciser? As an evolutionary biologist, there are multiple ways of doing that. So Daniel. What are some of the biggest myths within exercise? There are so many.

Daniel Lieberman. He's been Yeah. visiting native tribes to understand how humans are supposed to live. And now he has the answers on all of those things that most of us care about on sleep, nutrition, exercise, disease. You know, on disease he says that seventy four percent of them can be prevented. And he knows how to prevent them.
