I explored why the habits that extend life—like walking and exercise—often fail to show up in blood test results. Here’s what I found:
-
Big Impact, Small Biomarker Change: Walking 12,000 steps daily can add up to 10 years to your life, yet it barely impacts standard blood tests.
-
Proven Habits: Combined, regular aerobic exercise, HIIT, and strength training add up to 24 years to your lifespan, despite minimal effect on biomarkers.
-
Glucose Reality: Mortality risk stays flat between 75-100 mg/dL, making glucose optimization less meaningful than we think.
The takeaway? Focus on consistent, life-extending habits rather than chasing perfect bloodwork.
