Best Movement for Longevity
Sent by JUDY CHO | September 25, 2021
Thank you for all the emails last week. While it was a touchy subject, I’m glad we can have open discussions.
Earlier this year, I signed my boys up for jiujitsu so they could build on skills of grit and perseverance. With the pandemic, I also wanted them to have some semblance of normal socialization.
It’s been a wonderful experience and both of my boys are about to earn their grey (and grey/white) belts. While I’m not cool enough to understand BJJ terms like Americana, I see their growth over time and their newfound friendships.
This week, my son secretly showed sadness when his friend received his next stripe and my son didn’t. While I was sad with him, it was a good learning lesson: life isn’t going to give medals and unicorns to everyone. I told him it was okay to grieve a loss but that it was an opportunity to try harder. (He doesn’t know he’s getting a grey belt soon.)
We won’t win them all but we must always continue to continue on. Take some proper time to grieve but then it’s time to move on. Focus on moving forward.
Their time at BJJ has inspired me to be more dedicated to my workouts. In my Facebook and Instagram stories, I’ve shared a few stories of me at the gym. I’ve always favored cardio because I never wanted to get bulky.
But I’m open to the science of longevity and maintaining lean body mass. And while many of my interview guests don’t agree on what one thing to do for healing, they all seem to agree on what to do for movement.
Fine.
So I’ve been focusing on strength training and this weeks’ NwJ’s interview with my friend, Robert Sikes (@KetoSavage), shares some of the reasons why.
In upcoming interviews, you’ll learn more about the importance of exercise and what types, how often, and how much to do for health and longevity. I hope it’s another lever you can pull to get to optimal health.

This is a great interview for anyone wanting to optimize body composition and figuring out ideal macros for health.
I always learn so much from Robert and this discussion shares how protein may not be the ideal macro for body composition. We think of chicken breasts and rice cakes when people are prepping for competitions. Robert’s recommendations will share a different, perhaps better option.
We both share histories of disordered eating and it furthers my love for fat as a healing macro. Make sure to check out this discussion.

NwJ INSIDER TIPS



Here’s a sneak preview of the next liver series social media post.
Not all toxins are external. Make sure to take care of your body and your mind.
Don’t fear every single toxin. By eating a nutrient-dense, meat-based/only diet, you are taking care of more than half the battle.
Life is a journey and we must live in it to fully experience it all.
