TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout Exercise is King Vinnie tells a story of "who is influencing whom?" (3:00) We can all do better, encourage each other, and be an example. The American Journal of Public Health recently published an article that highlights the connections between the marketing approaches of Big Food and Big Tobacco. (13:00) Lunchables are marketed as having a good amount of protein; however, the breakdown shows otherwise. (19:00) Big Food's entire goal is to get you addicted to their products. (28:00) You can find a book focusing on this topic in Vinnie's Book Club on his Amazon page. The book is "Salt, Sugar, Fat" by Michael Moss: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DF5QS3H?linkCode=ssc&tag=vinnitorto-20&creativeASIN=B07DF5QS3H&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.DLRU885XQ4BV&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfvinnietortorich_109ME21EYG8380MBNX34_asin It appears that the American Heart Association finally agrees with what Vinnie has been saying for years: exercise is a poor way to lose weight. (43:00) Exercise is king for health and longevity! However, you need to eat real food, too. Another epidemiological study on meat consumption; however, it compares processed meats (like salami, pepperoni) to white meat, such as chicken (not processed). The comparison is off, so the outcome is off. (50:00) For a recent study on drinking tea, the article included all kinds of caveats, but the article about meat did not. Update on the PVC Magnesium product. (1:05:30) Anna's products are now linked to PureVitamin Club's website. Look under the "Food and Snacks" section to purchase them there, too. https://purevitaminclub.com/collections/food-and-snacks Vinnie hopes to add other products as well, all of which will be health-related.
