It always helps. Some people just need to try harder.
Much deeper, and more valuable, would be information on the optimal time of day to eat, exercise, etc, and more information on the specifics of the exercise needed (in terms of intensity or heart rate zones).
TLDR, exercise matters, so does genome, but what we really want is more specifics. This might inform better lifestyle adjustments.
- varelse 11y agoI'm all for optimizing the last 20%, but unless I'm mistaken, in America, ~80% of this is due to a sedentary lifestyle. And that bias arises from knowing people genetically predisposed to type 2 who have close relatives who died young from it, yet persuading them to exercise is like pulling teeth. Which is to say while I think you could build a billion dollar company out of that last 20% (and you can correct me on the percentages here, really, please do so), it would have to not only provide such information, but also present it in such a way that the recipient got up and did something with it. And that's the hard part, no?
