The health guru is renowned for his fitness advice
The health guru is renowned for his diet advice and his methods have proved increasingly popular over the years. He has appeared on shows such as This Morning and also hosts the BBC podcast, Just One Thing.
The 66-year-old appeared on a special podcast with Masterchef winner Thomasina Miers and he hailed the importance of resistance exercise both mental health and physical strength. Dr Mosley told 5x15 stories: “There are also cognitive benefits to doing particularly the press up and squat - as Wales Online reports."I do them first thing in the morning with my wife Claire. We kind of urge each other on. I do it then because we get out of bed and do it.
“The squat works the biggest muscles in your body - those in your butt. The press-up is really good for your upper body strength and also for your spine. I recently had my spine tested by Dexa scan [bone density scan] and I have the spine of a 30-year-old - because I do press-ups!” “Very good if you’re a woman at risk of osteoporosis because that is how you strengthen your bones is by doing things like press-ups and anything that puts pressure on the bone. In addition to that the press up and the squat are really good for things like depression and anxiety. What happens is when you go up and down in a motion that leads to a big release of blood into the brain and that triggers the release into the brain of a substance called BDNF - brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
”This is like fertiliser for brain cells. It is also one of the things released when people take anti-depressants so it is a natural form of anti-depressant.”Win a top-of-the-range Shark vacuum cleaner worth £449.99
