Question for you... When I exercise i have foamy urine. If i take a few days off it clears up. Tests at doctors office show no protein in my urine though. Am I good to go or should I still be concerned that something else might be going on with my kidneys? Thanks
@@karencski711 have you had an extensive workup by a truly good physician, one you've explained this to? There could be several reasons & most drs don't seem go know what all the tests are that should be done to make sure & check for. I highly recommend Osteopathic doctors, personally (look for the D.O. initials after their name). I can think of many things that may be the cause, but w/o knowing your age/medical issues/lifestyle habits/etc., all *I* can think of is maybe the exercise itself: i.e., too much too soon, environment, oh & WHAT & HOW you exercise. May be simply the wrong approach/type of exercise/doing too much/something not right for YOUR body/YOUR unique makeup..it actually could be psychological even (yes- SO possible) I know I would investigate, bcuz you may have an underlying medical issue... or going about things incorrectly. Hope something I wrote helps; I'm willing to help figure it out, so feel free to ask 💙
I decided a year ago to remove all distractions and make exercise and proper eating with fasting my priority and my way of life. I was quite athletic for much of my life but then I allowed life to get in my way. It is a wonderful experience to prioritize the things that matter most. I'll be 70 soon and my goal is to die healthy many years from now! Thanks Dr. Ekberg! You are an amazing teacher and you ARE making a big, big difference in the world!
Same! I removed my job, too! I loved my job and was being paid very well but, as I approached 60, it became detrimental to my health. The extra $ was no longer worth it.
5 - 6 months ago, I started watching Dr Ekberg's videos. I was 104 kg. And I was eating all the unhealthy food he has been talking about. I started to eat healthy food, I have been doing fasting (I ate food between 1 pm to 8pm) and quit drinking alcohol for 3 months (now I drink once or twice a week and limit my self with 2 glasses of whisky or something similar) and this morning I was 89,7 kg (90 was may target). This is AMAZING! I ate great food, did a little exercise and now I feel 5 years younger then 5 months ago and look much more better. I live in the Netherlands, newer met the Dr and have no beneficial relationship with him. I advice you to watch all his videos to learn about human metabolism and also learn how you can eat high quality food and become very healthy without any medicine or supportive products.

Thanks! , 70yo - simple walking , usually about 3 miles daily, has markedly restored my short term memory, awareness and cured alot of simple forgetfulness. also my organization of daily routine is better.
Uwielbiam Cie moj kochany doktorze. Jaka ogromna rodosc sprawilo mi tlumaczenie filmu. Wiele razy o to prosilam lub napisy. I mam to, teraz kazdy twoj material bedzie dla mnie zrozumialy.Wielki szacun za twoja prace Dziekuje i pozdrawiam z Polski.
I'm so sorry people disrespected you Dr. Ekberg. I've never seen a video of you being disrespectful to anyone. You have been super helpful as well. Shows what kind of people these are. I wish you wouldn't even worry yourself about these type of people. They are the kind that stop progress and start problems all around them. I try to keep them away from me. Thanks for all of your videos. Keep them coming. Wonder if you could do a hypertrophy video as I'm trying to gain muscle at 50 years old. Thanks
I am 61 years old and I've been doing everything in the book for the last 4 years: Keto, OMAD, HIIT 4x a week, Cold showers, supplements, good sleep, ACV, np stress, and so on. I still try hard to lose the last 20 pounds and see no progress (except being very fit). I've been working out since my teen years except between 51 to 56 years old when I gained 40 pounds. I also do 36-48-72 hours fasting here and there but, nope.... It's discouraging. P.S. I was at the Barcelona Olympics too, you were competing against my teammate Mike Smith ;-) Thanks for your wonderful channel, keep shining!
Hiit 4 times a week is way too much n put too much stress on the body which causes cortisol which can cause you to hold on to fat.Try walking which burns fat as apposed to glucose.
And exercise is free. Great video. Your content and video you did about fasting helped my drop 160 pounds , reverse my pre-diabetes, get off thyroid meds, no more cholesterol meds, no more high blood pressure pill. Thank you!
@ayoolagbaju2090 I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when i was fat, my new doctor said he saw no sign I had hypothyroid so I could stop taking the pills
As a former competitive powerlifter, I know all too well how positive exercise can be. Now, at 73, I teach Zumba and Zumba toning....Cardio combined with weight bearing exercise. Thank you for this video. ❤
As a 57yo male, 3 months ago I took a long hard look at myself and started the exercise journey and then after discovering this channel, I have also adopted a low carb diet. Started by vigorous walking and now have lost 13kg (almost 30 pounds for our American friends). Now my cardio has improved so significantly - walking is no longer pushing my body so I have just started HIIT on the treadmill. Do I feel, better? Sure do, but that is still not to say sometimes it is hard to remain motivated, but I keep setting little goals and rewarding myself when I achieve them.
I broke some ribs hiking on a trail. It was so painful that I barely moved for 6 weeks. I couldn’t believe how quickly my health collapsed. My mental health was also affected. I am 66 and have always exercised so seeing the results of my sloth was frightening! I’m back to hiking in the forest near my home and the difference between moving in fresh air and vegetating on the sofa is extreme! Move people, move 😂
I not a lazy person but I've become very inactive phisicaly due to health reasons ,, I get extreme pain with doing just about anything , I m learning everything thing I can about vitamins , minerals and anything that might improve my condition .
I am 63 and have been exercising for most of my life and am in good condition for my age, but recently have been questioning why am I putting this old body through this punishment.Well thanks for the moral boost I needed at just the right time Doc(coach).
I’m 55 and lift weights weekly and hike in the woods near my neighborhood. I eat mostly a carnivore diet. I feel great and have mental clarity. I’ve never had a bad weight lifting or hiking day.
I started exercising regularly 2 years ago after I turned 40. After seeing the changes to my body, I’m hooked and now I look forward to my workouts everyday. People have to remember that changing your body takes time. Don’t go in expecting instant gratification because that’ll just discourage you. Also, exercise without a proper diet won’t get you the results you’re looking for.
I left my desk job career to be a school janitor. I've lost 2 sizes in 2 months. 2 more to go. I feel great with OMAD, IF and the workout I get at work.
This is true. I've been exercising 4 to 5 times a week for an hour for the last 12 years when I turned 50 because I started to notice weight gain. Didnt change my diet which wasn't horrible but included potatoes, rice, pasta and bread. Every year gained approximately 3 lbs. Fast-forward to Jan 1st, 2024. I gained 30 lbs over 12 years. I was never overweight my entire life and very active generally but now 2 lbs above my healthy weight category. Exercise probably helped me not gain 60 lbs but it never helped me lose weight. Jan 1st started Keto, intermittent fasting, cut out alcohol, took ACV/lemon juice, a few extended fasts (72, 36, 48hr) and today I'm down 25 lbs wth 5 more to reach my 48 yr old weight goal. All body inflammation gone, mental clarity unbelievable and energy excess! I wouldnt have believed it was possible. Thanks Doc!!!
I have been working out 5 days a week and changed my eating habits. I feel great, the knee pain is gone. The back pain is decreasing. I did it to get my A1C and cholesterol levels down
Dr. Ekberg. Thank you. Very useful information for anyone who wants to preserve and protect and develop their brain and body. You are literally dying if you just sit all day. If you have legs, use them, walk, that's what they were meant for. With 2 stents in my heart I walk at least an hour every day, often more. If I am sick and can't walk I feel awful after a few days. Cherish your body and use it or lose it!
To sum it all up: go play sports or exercise and live an active life your whole life. Sitting on the coach means you start deteriorating. Great video by the way! Thanks for sharing it!
Exercise but don't forget to have some rest days as recovery. Rest day doesn't mean sit all day, but use it as stretching, walking and light movement. Over exercising is also not good, like with everything.
This explains why my life gets better after i decided doing pilates 6-7 days a week. Better body, better mind, better mood everyday, less stress and no more anxiety. Thank you so much for the videos 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Have always found it difficult to excercise. And sure enough over the years I became obese and diabetic. Then a few yrs ago I found your channel and your knowledge and advice on IF and ketogenic diet changed my life. I went about recommending your channel and your advice to everybody I met. But excercise was still not on my list of things, even when I stopped IF and keto. But with this video, it has triggered a desire to excercise in me like never before. Thank you once again Dr Ekberg. You are truly a saviour
Bravo Dr Sten. 65 y/o, I’ve lost 22 pounds 232>210 in 5 weeks by cutting out sugar (soda, chocolate), began eating whole foods greens, lean meats (cut out processed foods, fried foods), with intermittent fasting, my body moves better now to do daily longer walks 3-4 miles/day and overall just much more satisfied with myself and not hungry. Thank you for all your nutritional content and now this video which convinces me the reason why my attitude about my health has improved. Getting back into Resistance training and yoga is next for me. In about 3 months I’m due for another blood test and will be curious how it will compare to the previous one. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you @SportsKnowItAll11. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
I stretch and have exercised everyday for years, now 67. 39-50 min exercise, 1.5 mile walk, 3.5mile run another 50 min. Only on lipitor, Bp and pulse very low at rest. I move like a person much younger than myself with the strength I had at a younger age.
The beauty of having a dog is that movement is necessary and also enjoyable at least 3 times a day. Also one’s social circle gets larger. I have met so many friends thru my dogs:-)
I'm a disabled veteran and after 4 years of failing I've finally found in my opinion the easiest diet and exercise plan. I was 320 and alcoholic. first gotta lose as much excess weight as possible. i got into fasting. it suuucks to exercise with so much extra body fat. then I got into carnivore diet. also many people love it. so do I. proper human diet absolute game changer. once my body got to a certain weight then it felt good to exercise again. I'm now 230 one meal a day as much hamburger steak or eggs I want. energy is great. Monday thru Friday 20 min elliptical, 20 min whatever exercise you want to failure, 20 minute sauna. I feel great everyday now and stopped drinking all together. if you're desperate to find the answer try my program
Dr.Ekberg, you are doing a great service by all these videos. I happened to see your short video on meditation, the science blew me out. Long live Dr.Ekberg and your service to mankind :)
I have extreme back pain from spinal stenosis, bulging disc and arthritis all throughout my spine. I stopped pretty much all forms of activity p because of it. My sleep was horrible. Fast forward I started going to the gym and just walking pretty slowly has helped my sleep immensely.
Wow - Dr. Ekberg! Greetings from Germany! I have been watching your interesting videos for some years now. Today, for the first time the video is playing with German audio!!! And the voice sounds like yours! Mr. Ekberg I am impressed! Maybe KI, but sounds like you. Perfect German. Great! Thank you! Good for sharing with my German friends now.
Nice video. At 73 I exercise everyday. You forgot to mention 'balance' & 'coordination.' Going to the gym has increased my weight as my muscle mass is increasing. Muscle is much heavier than fat. Weight loss is best done by keto.
The things we do today are the gifts we give our future self. This video ties well into reading. Why read? It's not so much about what your learning as it is about the byproduct. New information combines with what you have. It stirs new ideas and gives ultimately a sense of hope. It opens new doors and makes new things possible. It can be an end to hopelessness for all who let it.
I started IF and exercising two months ago to get ready for my husband’s Honor Flight next month. He has cancer and the thought of pushing a wheelchair around the sites of DC was daunting. If he’s going to have the best experience, I (56y/o and 4’11”) need to be able to physically make that happen for him (78y/o 178lbs) I feel sooo much better, so much stronger than I did two months ago. Plus I dropped my belly fat ! I went from 107lbs to 101!! 🎉
Try to find and become comfortable with a very high quality wheelchair. One that is comfortable, light weight, space grade lubricated bearings, inflated large rear tires, etc. Walk backwards with the chair through doors and down ramps, and through busy crowds. D.C. is pretty flat. Use cabs for the long treks across the mall or to Arlington. Love DC. Enjoy.
Well said Dr. Exercising plays a role in losing weight, but the biggest player in weight loss, from my personal experience, is DIET! Eating wholefoods and restrictive eating habits. I lost 18 lbs just by cutting out rice, flour and sugar and I was not a big sugar eater!
There will always be poisonous creatures who mistakenly were given a mouth. Fortunately, we do not have to listen to them. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg, for all of the good information you have provided. I am particularly thankful for information about how the body works, the pathophysiology and chemistry involved. Although I studied anatomy as an artist, and minimal physiology as a nurse, I know nothing about the chemical pathways. I don't know the relationship between what we eat and the consequences of moving around or just sitting all day (other than swollen legs from sitting!). Your information and the way you explain everything makes understanding them easy. Please continue! You give people hope they can improve their lives themselves!
totally agree. my mental health goes down by 10 to 20 pc if i dont go to a gym for 2 weeks…I only do 20 to 30 mins in each session but it changes my mood substantially.
your answer was so awesome and peaceful that now i admire you more, that´s exactly the way we all should resolve our differences, greetings from chihuahua méxico, thank you and congratulations for all your efforts to educate us
Summer challenge… it’s almost turning winter by us in about a month. But something is strange about the season changing. It’s already halfway into autumn but the leaves aren’t changing colour and it’s still extremely hot. It’s global warming I’m sure. But when it’s summer again my challenge will be to look nice in my bikini I bought a few months ago. I bought it at Sissy boy, I love their things. It’s black and studded everywhere with black rhinestones. Absolutely beautiful.
Movement is something primal, guys also loose track of items because they don’t move. Has to move like that animal that we running from or running towards. Women easily spot an item as had to do with forging for fruits and vegetables.
anyone on here notice how some people in your life or sometimes total strangers can seem non-relatable as far as intellect goes? i noticed a big difference in my brain, i am much wiser, after keto, IF , exercise. sometimes to the point that some people are almost unbearable to be around because they seem to be lacking in the intelligence department 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Though the info you've shared, I can clearly see the correlation between humans and other mammals on the planet regarding how nature intended us to move, eat, learn, grow. It's actually simple. Thank you.
I’ve tried every day for stretches and it always backfires on me- what works best for me, in my fifties, is three times per week. I need to push myself fairly hard to get results, then the next day is a recovery day- pushing hard two days in a row backfires, then having one time per week with two days in a row off gets a really full recovery- three workouts where I push myself hard gives much better results than seven workouts that are lighter, at least for me.
Blessings from Dayton Ohio. I enjoy your videos because you explain things so well to my layman‘s mind. Thank you for the encouragement to exercise and the training how everything works together for the good of the body.
Thank you @jodonofrio5060 for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. That is my goal - to explain things in layman's terms to empower people and change the paradigm of health. Thanks for watching.😄
I exercise every day to relieve neurological pain in my legs, it's a great motivator. Ten minutes a day for a month was all it took to start seeing results. When that month is over, keep going. Then up your time. It's a ongoing commitment that always pays off.
I would like to add few words on top of your excellent content. The brain neurons with the largest number of dendritic branches seems to be the Purkinje cells. These cells are found in the cerebellum, a brain region well known as being crucial for motor coordination and balance.
I've slacked off on my walking and strength training over last 2 weeks,maybe more,and I've noticed that physically snd even mentally I dont feel as good as I usually do. Less energetic and yes... even a little less confident.
I watched this and got all my kids out in the sunshine and we went for a walk together for homeschool “p.e.” We discussed the importance of giving your brain what it needs. Hopefully setting them up for a lifetime of good health.
Dziękuję Doktorze Ekberg,za to co Pan mówi.To bardzo pocieszające.Teraz wiem dlaczego jestem zdrowa i w dobrej formie, mimo moich 76 lat.Po prostu jestem aktywna.Od zawsze .❤
I have been doing cardio for some time now on a regular basis. Did nt worry about what i ate and never tested my sugar.. but now that i am 50 i am getting more cautious n checking blood sugar regularly n also doing intermittent fasting.
Tell us about cheat days n holidays/ weddings etc where it’s hard to control diet. How bad is the affect on all the good work we did. N what will be ok.
Fantastic exsample of what the power of information can do. This allowed me to look at exercise in a much different way and I will be far more likely to do it now. Thank you for the great video.
Every night I am convinced that I will start walking the next day. I truly believe I’m going to and I WANT TO. Once it’s morning I am so tired and sore from Crohn’s, Psoriatic arthritis, and Sjogren’s. I rarely feel well and have no energy. I’ve talked to my doctors and no one has any answers to help me. I want to feel better. I don’t know where to begin to start…
I understand what you're struggling with, I have severe low back injuries that suck the energy right out of me. If you haven't already tried this, start with changing your diet to a real food, low carb/high fat keto or carnivore lifestyle. It can do a lot to heal or improve many things. Putting the entire nation onto the Food Pyramid" was the worst thing they could have done to us. There was zero evidence for it, and there is still zero evidence. The evidence, in fact, has shown that right at that time in history, 1980, multiple serious health epidemics took off like rockets, all related to metabolic disease. A high carb, high processed foods, low fat, high seed oils diet is exactly the right thing to advise if you want a sick population. I'm not promising a magic cure for everything, but it is the best thing you can do for your body to heal more than you think possible. In the meantime, just try to move a little bit more during the day, like just stretching more, or if you pick up something a little heavy do it 3 times instead of the once. Try to speed walk for a few seconds (seriously, just a few seconds can make a difference) as you are moving through the house. Do arm raises while laying down, with light weights if you can, like cans of soup. Anything that moves, stretches and challenges the muscles helps. Resistance training to build muscle is far more important than 30 minutes of aerobics, so let that knowledge quiet the lecturing from your brain. I wish you well.
It's counterintuitive but when you're tired the best way to get energy is to exercise. When you exercise your blood sugar goes up and movement will strengthen your joints, bones, heart, lungs, circulation and mental health.
I never exercided to be thin, but to be able to run long distanses and fast. I stopped running and gained weight. I believe exercise has big impact on weight when you do alot of it, im talkin running + 60 miles a week
Dragging Hawking into the notion that because he was stuck in a wheel chair as compared to a tree that's stuck in the ground is a demonstration of how some people have very little use of what little gray matter exists in their tiny little heads.

Thank you!

I've felt bad about not exercising but have never felt bad about exercising after doing it. The hardest part is starting.

It’s amazing how all of a sudden after working out for a few days to a week you realise how GOOD you feel and what you’ve been missing out on
That is a really good point, thank you, I'm going to remember this one 💙
Thank you @overcomingwithin. So True. Give the brain some juice 😄

I am 63 and have been exercising for most of my life and am in good condition for my age, but recently have been questioning why am I putting this old body through this punishment.Well thanks for the moral boost I needed at just the right time Doc(coach).
I’m 55 and lift weights weekly and hike in the woods near my neighborhood. I eat mostly a carnivore diet. I feel great and have mental clarity. I’ve never had a bad weight lifting or hiking day.

I started exercising regularly 2 years ago after I turned 40. After seeing the changes to my body, I’m hooked and now I look forward to my workouts everyday. People have to remember that changing your body takes time. Don’t go in expecting instant gratification because that’ll just discourage you. Also, exercise without a proper diet won’t get you the results you’re looking for.
Thank you for your gracious response to the unkind comments, it shows great character! 👏
Yes!! I’ve met him personally and he is truly amazing!
I left my desk job career to be a school janitor. I've lost 2 sizes in 2 months. 2 more to go. I feel great with OMAD, IF and the workout I get at work.
I've done 1/2 hour Pilates or yoga UA-cam videos for many years. No menopausal belly, weight gain etc. Never hungry, never overeating.
This is true. I've been exercising 4 to 5 times a week for an hour for the last 12 years when I turned 50 because I started to notice weight gain. Didnt change my diet which wasn't horrible but included potatoes, rice, pasta and bread. Every year gained approximately 3 lbs. Fast-forward to Jan 1st, 2024. I gained 30 lbs over 12 years. I was never overweight my entire life and very active generally but now 2 lbs above my healthy weight category. Exercise probably helped me not gain 60 lbs but it never helped me lose weight. Jan 1st started Keto, intermittent fasting, cut out alcohol, took ACV/lemon juice, a few extended fasts (72, 36, 48hr) and today I'm down 25 lbs wth 5 more to reach my 48 yr old weight goal. All body inflammation gone, mental clarity unbelievable and energy excess! I wouldnt have believed it was possible. Thanks Doc!!!
Great...Do you still exercise ....or just keto?
@@Tony-rf1vo Yes, I walk 5K, 4 days a week then interval bike training 30 min plus core exercises and upper body weights 30 min the other 3 days.

👍👍
You don’t have to apologize. Who is smart enough understands exactly what you meant.
Im 57 been eating healthy and working out regularly for 1 1/2. It has become a habit now and I feel great! Thanks for the positive videos doc!
Happy for you
I have been working out 5 days a week and changed my eating habits. I feel great, the knee pain is gone. The back pain is decreasing. I did it to get my A1C and cholesterol levels down
Alright, guys 3 months challenge. Let's get our summer body❤😊
Thank you @kemdeztv. Let's do it. 😄
Count me in.
Me three !❤🎉😂
I’m in. I need to start
Challenge accepted! Let's go!
Dr. Ekberg. Thank you. Very useful information for anyone who wants to preserve and protect and develop their brain and body. You are literally dying if you just sit all day. If you have legs, use them, walk, that's what they were meant for. With 2 stents in my heart I walk at least an hour every day, often more. If I am sick and can't walk I feel awful after a few days. Cherish your body and use it or lose it!
73 and walking a lot, even doing some running, lift some barbells, mostly Keto, feel great!
To sum it all up: go play sports or exercise and live an active life your whole life. Sitting on the coach means you start deteriorating.
Great video by the way! Thanks for sharing it!
Exercise but don't forget to have some rest days as recovery. Rest day doesn't mean sit all day, but use it as stretching, walking and light movement.
Over exercising is also not good, like with everything.
Ok, I’m sold. Next question: what type (s) of exercise? And for how long ( hours ) per day?
Long live Sweden to produce wonderful humans like Dr. Ekberg. Love the channel. Thank you !
This explains why my life gets better after i decided doing pilates 6-7 days a week. Better body, better mind, better mood everyday, less stress and no more anxiety. Thank you so much for the videos 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
One of the most profound arguments I have heard. Everyone should watch this. Well done and thank you.
Have always found it difficult to excercise. And sure enough over the years I became obese and diabetic. Then a few yrs ago I found your channel and your knowledge and advice on IF and ketogenic diet changed my life. I went about recommending your channel and your advice to everybody I met. But excercise was still not on my list of things, even when I stopped IF and keto. But with this video, it has triggered a desire to excercise in me like never before. Thank you once again Dr Ekberg. You are truly a saviour
Bravo Dr Sten. 65 y/o, I’ve lost 22 pounds 232>210 in 5 weeks by cutting out sugar (soda, chocolate), began eating whole foods greens, lean meats (cut out processed foods, fried foods), with intermittent fasting, my body moves better now to do daily longer walks 3-4 miles/day and overall just much more satisfied with myself and not hungry. Thank you for all your nutritional content and now this video which convinces me the reason why my attitude about my health has improved. Getting back into Resistance training and yoga is next for me. In about 3 months I’m due for another blood test and will be curious how it will compare to the previous one. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you @SportsKnowItAll11. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain the principles and mechanisms of health in such a way that you start gaining an understanding and respect for the miracle that is the human body. I spend so much time on it because when we get "the why" and start owning the mechanisms we become empowered for life . Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. 😄
The 'why' is very important!
Thank you Dr Ekberg!
I stretch and have exercised everyday for years, now 67. 39-50 min exercise, 1.5 mile walk, 3.5mile run another 50 min. Only on lipitor, Bp and pulse very low at rest. I move like a person much younger than myself with the strength I had at a younger age.
The beauty of having a dog is that movement is necessary and also enjoyable at least 3 times a day. Also one’s social circle gets larger. I have met so many friends thru my dogs:-)
I'm a disabled veteran and after 4 years of failing I've finally found in my opinion the easiest diet and exercise plan. I was 320 and alcoholic. first gotta lose as much excess weight as possible. i got into fasting. it suuucks to exercise with so much extra body fat. then I got into carnivore diet. also many people love it. so do I. proper human diet absolute game changer. once my body got to a certain weight then it felt good to exercise again. I'm now 230 one meal a day as much hamburger steak or eggs I want. energy is great. Monday thru Friday 20 min elliptical, 20 min whatever exercise you want to failure, 20 minute sauna. I feel great everyday now and stopped drinking all together. if you're desperate to find the answer try my program
Dr.Ekberg, you are doing a great service by all these videos. I happened to see your short video on meditation, the science blew me out. Long live Dr.Ekberg and your service to mankind :)
I have extreme back pain from spinal stenosis, bulging disc and arthritis all throughout my spine. I stopped pretty much all forms of activity p because of it. My sleep was horrible. Fast forward I started going to the gym and just walking pretty slowly has helped my sleep immensely.
You should try Private Pilates sessions will definitely help you
Im 54 do half hour cardio and then go swimming for half n hour. Feel brand new and bulletproof. Been doing it for 6 months
You've sold me. The exercise program starts today.
Look, I am scared from blood, I could faint
@@lyana11_hehehe Eh?
Wow - Dr. Ekberg! Greetings from Germany! I have been watching your interesting videos for some years now. Today, for the first time the video is playing with German audio!!! And the voice sounds like yours! Mr. Ekberg I am impressed!
Maybe KI, but sounds like you.
Perfect German. Great! Thank you!
Good for sharing with my German friends now.
Nice video. At 73 I exercise everyday. You forgot to mention 'balance' & 'coordination.' Going to the gym has increased my weight as my muscle mass is increasing. Muscle is much heavier than fat. Weight loss is best done by keto.
The things we do today are the gifts we give our future self. This video ties well into reading. Why read? It's not so much about what your learning as it is about the byproduct. New information combines with what you have. It stirs new ideas and gives ultimately a sense of hope. It opens new doors and makes new things possible. It can be an end to hopelessness for all who let it.
Thank you for breaking down the importance of exercise outside the standard concepts of weight loss and vanity. This is quite helpful.
I started IF and exercising two months ago to get ready for my husband’s Honor Flight next month. He has cancer and the thought of pushing a wheelchair around the sites of DC was daunting. If he’s going to have the best experience, I (56y/o and 4’11”) need to be able to physically make that happen for him (78y/o 178lbs) I feel sooo much better, so much stronger than I did two months ago. Plus I dropped my belly fat ! I went from 107lbs to 101!! 🎉
Rent a motorized wheelchair!!
Try to find and become comfortable with a very high quality wheelchair. One that is comfortable, light weight, space grade lubricated bearings, inflated large rear tires, etc. Walk backwards with the chair through doors and down ramps, and through busy crowds. D.C. is pretty flat. Use cabs for the long treks across the mall or to Arlington. Love DC. Enjoy.
Watch Dr Berg's Video on Cancer from couple days ago.
Well said Dr. Exercising plays a role in losing weight, but the biggest player in weight loss, from my personal experience, is DIET! Eating wholefoods and restrictive eating habits. I lost 18 lbs just by cutting out rice, flour and sugar and I was not a big sugar eater!
There will always be poisonous creatures who mistakenly were given a mouth. Fortunately, we do not have to listen to them. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg, for all of the good information you have provided. I am particularly thankful for information about how the body works, the pathophysiology and chemistry involved. Although I studied anatomy as an artist, and minimal physiology as a nurse, I know nothing about the chemical pathways. I don't know the relationship between what we eat and the consequences of moving around or just sitting all day (other than swollen legs from sitting!). Your information and the way you explain everything makes understanding them easy. Please continue! You give people hope they can improve their lives themselves!
Bravo Sten for the speech translation ! More and more people will enjoy you channel !🙂
I'm 63 and definitely feel and look younger when I exercise consistently. Exercise is definitely the fountain of youth as far as I'm concerned 😂
totally agree. my mental health goes down by 10 to 20 pc if i dont go to a gym for 2 weeks…I only do 20 to 30 mins in each session but it changes my mood substantially.
Joyous Easter, Dr. Ekberg! May God protect you and your family. ❤️🙏
The human body was designed to do work. That's the best reason for exercise.
To gain the most benefits, exercise at target heart rate for at least 30 min session of cardio.
Exercise 3xs a week with weights and cardio,am 72
It's cool to hear Dr. Ekberg speaking in Portuguese.
I do cardio 30 minutes every day and it feels great
your answer was so awesome and peaceful that now i admire you more, that´s exactly the way we all should resolve our differences, greetings from chihuahua méxico, thank you and congratulations for all your efforts to educate us
Joyous Easter to everyone! May God protect us all. ❤️🙏
This adds so much clarity to the reality of the mind body connection.
Summer challenge… it’s almost turning winter by us in about a month. But something is strange about the season changing. It’s already halfway into autumn but the leaves aren’t changing colour and it’s still extremely hot. It’s global warming I’m sure. But when it’s summer again my challenge will be to look nice in my bikini I bought a few months ago. I bought it at Sissy boy, I love their things. It’s black and studded everywhere with black rhinestones. Absolutely beautiful.
❤ I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for not watering things down.
Movement is something primal, guys also loose track of items because they don’t move. Has to move like that animal that we running from or running towards. Women easily spot an item as had to do with forging for fruits and vegetables.
Dear Sten, Thank you once again for a wonderful, practical, HELPFUL educational video!
anyone on here notice how some people in your life or sometimes total strangers can seem non-relatable as far as intellect goes?
i noticed a big difference in my brain, i am much wiser, after keto, IF , exercise. sometimes to the point that some people are almost unbearable to be around because they seem to be lacking in the intelligence department 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Like those haters he talked about? 👍🏻😂
Though the info you've shared, I can clearly see the correlation between humans and other mammals on the planet regarding how nature intended us to move, eat, learn, grow.
It's actually simple. Thank you.
Without a doubt this is one of your best videos.
Started IF and eating healthy 1 yr ago. Feel awesome, walking 5-8 miles a day and exercise 3-4 days a week.
I’ve tried every day for stretches and it always backfires on me- what works best for me, in my fifties, is three times per week. I need to push myself fairly hard to get results, then the next day is a recovery day- pushing hard two days in a row backfires, then having one time per week with two days in a row off gets a really full recovery- three workouts where I push myself hard gives much better results than seven workouts that are lighter, at least for me.
Blessings from Dayton Ohio. I enjoy your videos because you explain things so well to my layman‘s mind. Thank you for the encouragement to exercise and the training how everything works together for the good of the body.
Thank you @jodonofrio5060 for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. That is my goal - to explain things in layman's terms to empower people and change the paradigm of health. Thanks for watching.😄
Grazie Dottore Ekberg starei ad ascoltarla tutto il giorno
Whoever reads this, I pray to the universe to cure all your diseases, and to remove all your pains from your daily life. 🙏
Pray to God, not the universe.
Thank you
I exercise every day to relieve neurological pain in my legs, it's a great motivator.
Ten minutes a day for a month was all it took to start seeing results.
When that month is over, keep going.
Then up your time.
It's a ongoing commitment that always pays off.
Quality of life is more important than just longevity alone...and exercise with proper nutrition will get you there.
I would like to add few words on top of your excellent content. The brain neurons with the largest number of dendritic branches seems to be the Purkinje cells. These cells are found in the cerebellum, a brain region well known as being crucial for motor coordination and balance.
I've slacked off on my walking and strength training over last 2 weeks,maybe more,and I've noticed that physically snd even mentally I dont feel as good as I usually do. Less energetic and yes... even a little less confident.
Let's start again.
I have slack back too
I watched this and got all my kids out in the sunshine and we went for a walk together for homeschool “p.e.” We discussed the importance of giving your brain what it needs. Hopefully setting them up for a lifetime of good health.
Dziękuję Doktorze Ekberg,za to co Pan mówi.To bardzo pocieszające.Teraz wiem dlaczego jestem zdrowa i w dobrej formie, mimo moich 76 lat.Po prostu jestem aktywna.Od zawsze .❤
Think this is the best video I ever have seen on UA-cam. Thanks.
One of the best, if not the best, videos I've ever seen about exercise in my entire life
I have been doing cardio for some time now on a regular basis. Did nt worry about what i ate and never tested my sugar.. but now that i am 50 i am getting more cautious n checking blood sugar regularly n also doing intermittent fasting.
Thank you for explaining and rebutting the ignorance that crept its way into your comment section. Some folks don’t use their brains.
Move your arms and do the twist. It is an amazing exercise and can be done anywhere and at any time
Danke!
Tell us about cheat days n holidays/ weddings etc where it’s hard to control diet. How bad is the affect on all the good work we did. N what will be ok.
A lot of healthy people take occasional cheat or feast days without ill effect. Just make sure this is not all the time.
Thanks for this genuine advice. It helps me to get do more playful exercise like Dance, bordering and Gym
Thanks for the advice, so far it has helped significantly for us majority that needs it.
One of the best health channel
Thanks
Fantastic exsample of what the power of information can do. This allowed me to look at exercise in a much different way and I will be far more likely to do it now. Thank you for the great video.
Think of it as brushing your teeth. Gotta do it everyday!
Thank you Dr. Ekberg for explaining it that way - you have definitely given me the incentive to start exercising .
Every night I am convinced that I will start walking the next day. I truly believe I’m going to and I WANT TO. Once it’s morning I am so tired and sore from Crohn’s, Psoriatic arthritis, and Sjogren’s. I rarely feel well and have no energy. I’ve talked to my doctors and no one has any answers to help me. I want to feel better. I don’t know where to begin to start…
I understand what you're struggling with, I have severe low back injuries that suck the energy right out of me. If you haven't already tried this, start with changing your diet to a real food, low carb/high fat keto or carnivore lifestyle. It can do a lot to heal or improve many things. Putting the entire nation onto the Food Pyramid" was the worst thing they could have done to us. There was zero evidence for it, and there is still zero evidence. The evidence, in fact, has shown that right at that time in history, 1980, multiple serious health epidemics took off like rockets, all related to metabolic disease. A high carb, high processed foods, low fat, high seed oils diet is exactly the right thing to advise if you want a sick population. I'm not promising a magic cure for everything, but it is the best thing you can do for your body to heal more than you think possible. In the meantime, just try to move a little bit more during the day, like just stretching more, or if you pick up something a little heavy do it 3 times instead of the once. Try to speed walk for a few seconds (seriously, just a few seconds can make a difference) as you are moving through the house. Do arm raises while laying down, with light weights if you can, like cans of soup. Anything that moves, stretches and challenges the muscles helps. Resistance training to build muscle is far more important than 30 minutes of aerobics, so let that knowledge quiet the lecturing from your brain. I wish you well.
Can you begin with deliberately moving more in the afternoons? Even a short walk daily is better to lift mood and energy than inactivity.
It's counterintuitive but when you're tired the best way to get energy is to exercise. When you exercise your blood sugar goes up and movement will strengthen your joints, bones, heart, lungs, circulation and mental health.
@@akhusal That makes sense. Thank you.
What an excellent piece of education! Thank you!
I never exercided to be thin, but to be able to run long distanses and fast. I stopped running and gained weight. I believe exercise has big impact on weight when you do alot of it, im talkin running + 60 miles a week
Remember to properly rest guys, after a few days of workout it is good to regenerate your body 💯
❤❤excellent, I have been lazy for 20, years! One month of exercise, diet and fasting, I could climb a hill, like girl of 20!
Dragging Hawking into the notion that because he was stuck in a wheel chair as compared to a tree that's stuck in the ground is a demonstration of how some people have very little use of what little gray matter exists in their tiny little heads.
