Dr. Peter Attia has always lent a helping hand to his community through his extensive expertise in the realm of fitness. He has also focused on his concepts, one of which is called the “Centenarian Decathlon,” introduced in his book “Outlive,” which is an excellent and offbeat framework for longevity and fitness.
Back in 2023, on his YouTube channel, there was a special episode dedicated to the concept of the centenarian decathlon. After he explained all the aspects surrounding the training, he also attached a certain piece of advice that his followers would like to hear.
Dr. Peter wants his audience to focus on a certain incentive. He stated that with his years of expertise in the field, he has talked about how many kinds of training promote a significant boost to overall health, including severely reducing the risk of many chronic diseases, which also takes a leap in an individual’s longevity.
The doctor also gives out overall advice to his followers by saying:
“If I knew that all the training I was doing…it was going to shorten my life by a year, I would still do it, purely, for the improvement in the quality of life between now and the end of my life. The fact that it’s not shortening my life by a year, the fact that it’s probably adding five to seven years to my life, and improving the quality of my life means day in and day out, I just think it’s the about the most important thing that I can do.”
The way this exercise enhances the overall quality of life is something that has impressed Attia a lot. He further thanks the audience for sticking to his advice during his podcasts, as he wants his followers to lead a healthy life and be free of any kind of ailments.
While exercising is a way to boost the quality of life, dieting is also something that is equally important, but the fitness expert has focused on a certain nutrient that provides a lot of benefits.
Dr. Peter Attia Curious About Layne Norton’s Fiber Consumption
In 2022, Layne Norton appeared on Peter Attia’s Drive Podcast to discuss his fiber intake, which keeps him jogging toward his fitness objectives. The bodybuilder answered the host by mentioning riced cauliflower, broccoli, and apples as the best fiber-intake foods.
However, if fruits like apples are in short supply, the fruit can be substituted for popcorn. The bodybuilder goes on to say that popcorn can make one feel fuller and that it helps him avoid overeating before a big competition. He also notes that 50 grams of popcorn can provide roughly 6–10 grams of fiber.
