They delve into weight management and health tips, particularly focusing on the over 40 age group. Zeco emphasizes the importance of proper digestion, highlighting that our bodies are designed for weight management. However, as we age, this process can become more challenging. Zeco discusses common issues, such as rushing through meals in a stress-induced state, and suggests simple practices like taking deep breaths and eating in a relaxed, parasympathetic state. He recommends going for a post-meal walk and following a plate composition that prioritizes protein, non-starchy vegetables, and healthy complex carbs to slow down digestion and prevent blood sugar spikes. Brad shares his own practices, including diaphragmatic breathing, drinking water before meals, and incorporating regular walks into his routine. Zeco emphasizes the importance of not drinking liquids during meals, as it can hinder digestion. They also touch upon digestive enzymes and how the body's enzyme production adapts to dietary changes over time. Zeco suggests using digestive enzymes temporarily during dietary transitions but advises against relying on them long-term. Overall, the discussion provides valuable insights into maintaining healthy digestion, managing weight, and making informed dietary choices, especially for those over 40.
