@aliabdaal Thank you for today's great video! I have a question: What should people do if they can't feel thirsty? I know some people who don't seem to have that feeling. If you ever see this, thanks for your time. 🙏 PS: My favorite habit is walking outside.
Gotta ask. What sleep trackers are you currently using ? I see an Apple Watch and some type of strap on your other hand. Can you give some suggestions please and thank you :)
Here are some of the important points from the video: * You don't have to walk 10,000 steps a day to be healthy. Aiming for 6,000 to 8,000 steps per day is a good target for most people. And remember, every step counts, so even small amounts of walking can add up and make a difference. * Getting some sun exposure is important for your health. Aim for at least 10 to 15 minutes of sun exposure on your skin (not through a window) most days. This will help your body produce vitamin D, which is essential for bone health. * Drinking water is important, but you don't need to force yourself to drink 2 liters per day. Just listen to your body and drink when you're thirsty. Your body is pretty good at regulating its own fluid levels.
It is much more beneficial to have fluid intake regulated by having an estimate of what should be taken. "Listening" to your body is not really effective for proper fluid evaluation
@@henryeweama2270 If I listened to my body I would drink twice a day... or at other times drink all the time. Never really gone wrong with following the 2l estimate on the other hand.
Don’t just assume we are all under 30, I’m 63 and been following you for years. I started self development in the early 80’s as my career started to take off. At 63 I’ve sold my business, have money in the bank, but cannot stop working. Simply so I can continue to save, rather than de cumulate. But I degress. I’m now freelance in finance, I love working with the people I work with, but have reached the age where I know I have no real goals. I’m simply trying to understand who I am and now I need to learn how to stop being productive. I see a task in front of me and just keep working like the Duracell bunny. But….. there is a part of me that simply cannot continue to see if there is more I can learn, which is crazy, but leads me to listen to you. Always good common sense. Good on you.
They say "you should walk your dog twice a day whether you have one or not." My dog is long gone but I love a walk (~20 mins) before work. It is so refreshing and sets the day for me.
You influenced my life a lot. From not doing to anything being depressed to being productive and changing my life for good. Thanks a lot and I hope I will learn more from you in the future
I'm sold on the idea of starting my day with a morning walk. It's a healthy habit that sets the tone and gets those steps in early. Plus, it's a great way to clear the mind for the day ahead.
In 2021, I had heavy, sore, and weak legs due to poor circulation from inactivity, averaging 120-500 steps daily. I started walking more, gradually increasing to 1 hour and 20 minutes (about 8,000 steps) daily. This routine has helped me lose weight and greatly reduce my anxiety A LOT
One thing I really appreciated here was how you thought of folks who couldn't get outside for whatever reason, and folks who don't have sun in the morning. Ali, I find you're amazing at that. Thinking of the people who the standard, general tip may not work for. Thank you for that!
Always happy to see a new video ! but cant believe you did not mention reading books, to anyone who is struggling i would recommend fast track to fortune by Nathan West
In Australia the ‘Slip, Slop, Slap’ campaign is still on every school office’s walk to this day. Our sun is merciless during Summer, both my parents are from Argentina and still wear sunscreen every day here. Thank you for another great video Ali!
Ali, I have been watching your videos since 2018, and I appreciate you sharing your valuable knowledge and insights. Quick question- can you make a video for night shift working people, on how we can take care of our health while working night shifts. It will help for people like me working night shifts and trying to live a productive life while keeping our health in check
The hydration myth busting was much needed! I always thought I had to force myself to drink 2.5 liters of water daily, but now I’ll just listen to my body’s thirst cues. The urine color chart tip is really helpful too. Keep up the awesome work, Ali
The emphasis on getting sunlight first thing in the morning is spot-on. This is a powerful, yet often overlooked, way to regulate your circadian rhythm, which has significant effects on sleep, mood, and overall energy levels.
As someone who struggles with kidney stones, I need a MINIMUM of 2.5 liters of water per day. I used to be on 2 liters and my urologist said it was too low 🥲 Great video once again, Ali! ❤
Hey ali, I acctually wasnt interested in the video bc of the thumbnail and title. But when i clicked on it and you were talking about what is gonna happen in the video and you mentioned all 3 habits right from the start it acctually got me to stick arround and watch the video. Please keep thi style and dont tease one point after another like all the other creators. Keep crushing and much love from germany ❤
Thanks for the video Ali! I am so thankful for your content and how you articulate such a well thought-out idea on health and how we take care of ourselves both mentally and physically :) Keep up the great work! I look up to you a lot 👍
I LOVED this video. So informative and useful. The second one on sun exposure goes against what we hear most of the time from doctors here in Canada. Please make more videos on debunking health-related myths. One on dairy and osteoporosis would be much appreciated.
I have Gilbert's syndrome and occasionally sunning seems to help preventing from becoming too yellow (including my eye whites). Besides vitamin D production, sun exposure also has potential to offer other health benefits like reducing excess bilirubin in the body which causes yellowing.
I also target to walk 10,000 steps everyday. Its more of a government challenge here in Singapore but it helps me to get some exercise everyday of 30 min. It was just a blind approach. But now i understand some scientific prospects of these habits.
Hey tell me some things that government tell you guys to do... To improve health and other parts of life....... I am interested about singapore.... Love from 🇮🇳
Such an interesting discussion! I've always been curious about the benefits of walking 10,000 steps a day, and finally got an answer backed by actual data. Thank you!
Your channel is arguably one of the best I’ve seen! You’re videos are well made and explained. I aspire to learn more and have a channel that helps other just like you helped me 🤝🏽🔥
I really enjoy the Content Ali! Your Videos are always interesting and well researched. Nevertheless i am often wondering about things like the ideal week. Not just on your channel, but on others as well. Wondering in the sense of "who, realisticly, can live like that?". I got a "normal" Job an 2 Kids, it is absolutley not possible to implement a routine like that. It would be really nice and refreshing in the world of healthinfluencers and their tipps to live, if someone would paint a picture of a healthy routine for the "normal man". Maybe its just me thou.... Keep up the good work!

I love your videos, I am rarely leaving comments, though I wish to make a suggestion. Can you make a video for this gut microbiome test? Can they give us insights on how to improve health?
you look a lot like my doctor who I am emotionally attached to but am trying to distance myself from because getting attached to your doc is a no no so I come here to listen to your amazing advices while trying to get over missing my doctor
I came across a new extension that turns your new tab page into a task manager. It could be a good complement to the healthy habits you're trying to implement.
When you are walking, you aren't just walking, you are getting more oxygen if you are outside, you can listen to an audiobook, you can take in your environment, you are stimulating your creative juices (Sylvia Plath and Charles Dickens walked a lot partly to stimulate their creative processes).
You should try walking without a podcast on or your phone and see where your mind takes you and what ideas you come up with, it’s really quite refreshing
@@s1xro I don't listen to podcasts when I am walking around I did try audible but it wasn't for me and it is too dangerous walking here without your ears alert, the traffic is crazy.
As a high performance athlete, I don’t need to count steps, lol. It’s sufficiently intense as it is, and it’s repetitions, sets, and hold times that are tracked, as well as precision. But getting enough sunlight is an essential area for improvement! 👍🏼 Added: It does help to sip water slowly, and not chug it, in order not to flush out electrolytes and not have to take highly-processed chemical electrolyte supplements.
I wonder how much these studies are overlapping on a root cause, and that people who are just more active and social in general are less likely to die of various causes. If you're outside more and walking more, you're probably more social or just have more activities and things going on in your life instead of sitting on the couch watching TV all day with few people in your life.
As an Australian I can confirm slip slop slap is still going strong and has since been updated to slip slop slap seek (shelter/shade) and slide (on sunglasses) 🤠
Have you thought about the possibility that people who walk more are generally more active, and it is not only the walking that influcences overall health of these people?
I would guess that there are huge numbers of Tokyo residents who regularly walk many more than 10,000 steps. They could serve as valuable group to study.
Dr. Paul Offit writes in his book titled Overkill that a lot of the data on vitamin D is junk, and the nutraceutical industry is e huge player in the vitamin d recommended numbers.

Is it just me, or is he talking naturally at 1.5x?
I feel the speed like x2 😅
I think so too. Switching to 0.75 sounds more natural to me
I feel the sane. 😢
Because he doesn't want to waste our time 😊
I (in med) usually watch and listen to podcasts in 1.25-1.5 or even 2x speed so this sounds perfect hahaha!!!

Thanks Ali for giving guidance on holistic living. We are Not only striving in career and productivity, but also have to take care of our wellness.❤

Fully agree sun exposure is hugely beneficial as long as you’re careful of the UV level and protect your skin - great video as always!
In Australia the ‘Slip, Slop, Slap’ campaign is still on every school office’s walk to this day. Our sun is merciless during Summer, both my parents are from Argentina and still wear sunscreen every day here.

Being a good person forms the basis of achievements in his/ her life
Learning how to stop being productive, such a wonderful insight.

I love how you explain studies, i bet you were a great presenter in university.
always a pleasure learning things from you. Thanks Ali❤
ditto
This video is exactly what I needed. Thanks for breaking down the information so clearly.

I just spoke about healthy habits a few weeks ago in a video and LOVE how you combined research with individual needs!!

Quite surprised that Mediterranean diet is not mentioned here. Lots of studies showing the long term benefits of it.
