It is cold and rainy outside today. We did a brief walk -- probably about 20 minutes. I also worked a little bit on the bench, some leg curls and presses and some lat pulldowns and arm curls. 3 sets of 12 reps
There was a link posted on the yahoo fasting group to an article by Dr. Ron Rosedale entitled "Insulin, Leptin, Diabetes, and Ageing: Not So Strange Bedfellows". It is very easy reading, and I recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about health and longevity. Dr. Rosedale mentions in this article that:
The longest-lived animals and people share the following traits:
- Reduction in fasting glucose
- Low fasting insulin levels
- Lower body temperature
- Low percentage of body (viceral) fat
- Reduced thyroid levels
- Low triglycerides
- Low leptin
