Today's episode, you'll learn how to burn twice as much fat by eating more food.

Why getting outside can lead to a longer life and the number one reason everyone should be trying

0:14.6

to build more muscle. I know your time is valuable. So let's get right to the tips that will make

0:21.6

your health a little bit better. If you're like me, dieting is miserable because it's built around

removing what you love. But wouldn't it be nice if for a change you were told you could eat more

0:33.8

of a certain food instead of less if you're trying to lose weight, research suggests eating more

0:40.8

protein can help you lose more body fat. Even when consuming more calories to lose weight,

if not more. Now, let's take this next conversation outside. That's because a little sun could be a

life-extending decision if you care about your longevity. A 20-year study on more than 29,000

2:10.9

people found that sun exposure might significantly impact extending longevity. To put the findings

in the context, none smokers who avoided sun exposure had a life expectancy similar to smokers

who got the most sun. In other words, avoiding the sun took away years in a similar fashion to
