"The most powerful takeaway from this research is feasibility. This study shifts the focus to "micro-habits." It suggests that we don't need to strive for perfection in one area. If you can't manage a full eight hours of sleep, getting just a few more minutes helps—especially if you pair it with a brisk walk to the bus stop and adding a side of broccoli to your dinner."

Learn how small changes in sleep, activity and nutrition could extend your life by a year, according to new research. Make healthy habits count for longevity.

"Metabolism is the process by which your body converts the calories you take in from food into energy. Some things that affect your metabolic rate are your genes, size, age, and s*x. You can increase your metabolism somewhat by adding muscle mass and burning calories through exercise. But your metabolism ultimately plays a small role in any extra weight you carry. That has much more to do with how much you eat and how much you move."

"Focus your workouts on your muscles. Hit the weight room at the gym, or get a trainer to help you with a routine on the exercise machines. Cardio has its benefits, but it doesn't boost your testosterone like strength training can.

CLEANSING, DETOX, AND WEIGHT LOSS🏃🏋🥝🫐

Big Sky Integrative Health offers specific programs tailored to cleansing, detoxification, and weight loss.

Exposures to environmental and occupational toxins happen daily. Heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum, pesticides, solvents, gases or fumes, and chemicals can all effect overall health and contribute to chronic, debilitating diseases. Chronic low energy, neurological complaints, immune system dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and autoimmune complaints can all be influenced by toxins.

We offer specific programs based upon intake, exam, and testing to treat and detoxify the body. IV therapy, IV chelation therapy, oral chelation therapy, liver support, GI support, and cleanses are tailored to your medical condition.

Big Sky Integrative Health supports healthy weight and life-long fitness goals by creating personalized strategies using cleansing, diet and nutrition guidance, and exercise. The importance of healthy weight continues to become more and more evident. Research in the past 3-5 years shows that fat tissue acts more like endocrine tissue than any other tissue in the body. It releases hormones (leptin, ghrelin, and adiponectin) that interact with cortisol and insulin—two of the body’s main hormones affecting metabolism, blood sugars, and fat deposition. Certain dietary and exercise parameters effect these fat-produced hormones to help achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

🚴🏋🏃"Metrics do matter, and keeping tabs on biomarkers backed by actual science, like blood pressure, makes sense. But it’s worth remembering that the measurement is not the object; the map is not the road. What’s exciting about Cui’s data is how it reshuffles our priorities, shifting the focus from all the little things our wearable tech now tracks to the one big thing that really works—and which is also a worthwhile goal for its own sake. Want to live longer? Open the door, step outside, and get moving."

Scientists crunched the numbers to come up with the single best predictor of how long you’ll live—and arrived at a surprisingly low-tech answer
