In todayâs episode of The Over 50 Health & Wellness Show, host Kevin English is joined by Silver Edge coach Russell Medeiros for an insightful discussion on how your metabolism works like a bank account. Are your daily habits making deposits that build health wealth, or are they causing withdrawals that drain your energy and vitality?
They cover everything from the dangers of excessive cardio and constant dieting to the importance of stress management, proper sleep, and movement. Kevin and Russell also share their thoughts on popular trends like intermittent fasting, and why certain "healthy" habits might be doing more harm than good.

Alcohol and Its Effect on Your Metabolic Health - Kevin explains why alcohol, despite being socially accepted, is a significant withdrawal from your metabolic bank account and how it impacts your overall health.
Sedentary Lifestyle: Why Lack of Movement Drains Your Energy - Russell talks about the importance of general movement throughout the day and how long periods of sitting can take a toll on your metabolism.
