Today Michael is answering the following questions from Two Percent readers:
* What’s your opinion on the health effects of drinking, and if I’m drinking too much, how do I stop?
* How can I get really fit in one year?
Here’s why these questions matter.
The alcohol question:
* The debate over the health effects of alcohol is hotter than ever.
* Many health influencers now say you should have a zero-tolerance policy with alcohol, meaning any amount of alcohol is bad and not good for your health.
* I disagree.
* I think some amount of alcohol can actually be health-promoting—but the amount of alcohol we drink and context we drink it in is what determines whether it’s health or not.
* We’ll also explain how to think about not drinking if you think you drink too much.
* The current medical literature describes substance abuse as a “brain disease.” But I think that’s wrong. Rather, I think it’s a signal that needs to be unpacked.
The getting fit in a year question.
* I’m going to do you one better: I’ll explain how to get fit in six month.
* This matters because, if you’re currently sedentary, getting fit is one of the best things you can do for health and longevity.
* But people new to fitness often go about it wrong.
* I’ll explain a six month action plan that’ll get you fit. Really fit. I’ve seen it work on many people.
* Below you also find a short template for how to approach this.
