    At a BMI of 32, I only held off diabetes through daily cycling. My core diet was WFPB. The extras were mostly wholegrain bread and cakes. Laid low by influenza my hba1c got to 6.5%. Even my lipids were mediocre at that size. I lost the weight over a couple of months and sorted my diabetes At a BMI of 26.5 my lipids were optimal with LDL and triiglycerides low 70s. As I look at heavy people around me I am horrified I ever settled for "fat but fit".

    I like that socioeconomic factors were presented. It is why I am against sugar and fat taxes. What we should do, is change the food environment: make healthful foods ridiculously cheap and convenient (there is ample room for innovation in this area) so that they become not only a possible option for everyone, but the most logical and natural option and once that has been accomplished, make less-healthful foods more expensive so that they become the luxury they should always have been. As a *caricture* consider this: 2000 kcal of potato chips cost about $5 while 2000 kcal of kale cost about $68 or more than 13x as much. I use kale because it is a darling of lifestyle medicine, and it nicely shows that while current lifestyle medicine is great for the leisure class, it is essentially inaccessible for others, and they happen to be the majority. Also keep in mind that this example does not even include the time, cost and inconvenience of shopping, transporting, storing, prepping, cooking, cleaning and equipment, all of which are more problematic or impossible for those on the lower rungs of the socioeconomic ladder.

    1) Education but willing & able to apply knowledge for living Healthy life style (it will utterly useless if a person is highly educated but if that person smokes, excessively drinks alcohol, doesn't do exercise or no diet/weight control) 2) Follow life Essential 8 3) Maintain very good Social network among family& friends 4) Better to be physically active and slightly overweight than to be slim & fit without optimum physically activity. 5)If not indicated better not to take Tab Metformin( it can cause metabolic acidosis as a side effect) rather do exercise and diet control. 6) Be Hopeful that our genes will support us after we follow above mentioned points😊

    The most important thing is how one handles stress.

    What drives longevity? Primarily genetics, specifically long telomeres. Now let's listen to the video, and see what it thinks....
