There's a cost to keeping your body running. For every five breaths you take, one is paying for your brain, one is paying for your liver, and another is paying for your muscles.
On average, your body spends about 1,400 calories per day just keeping you alive, even if you're doing nothing else. This helps explain why we tend to avoid unnecessary physical activity.
For our ancestors, finding food could be incredibly difficult, so they didn't waste energy. Today, even though have energy sources ready at our fingertips, we still naturally protect how we spend that energy.

What's an easy way to stay active?
Just a simple walk does the trick. Literally and physical activity even a brisk stroll can work wonders for mental health and cognitive processing so you are more aware and can be able to move onto other things as well
GET A DOG AND WALK IT.
Sleep actively.
Join the military. 😇
Stop watching CZcams.
Even the inspirational videos are shit compared to actually applying good habits in your real life.
Yes, I recognize the irony that I'm commenting on a CZcams video, but at least my daily energy doesn't revolve around how to make more people sit and stare at screen.
I think too many modern humans are also energy savers. I would also say that if you want to see what our ancestors physiques looked like, look to those humans who are around today and live in more primitive cultures. They aren’t Jacked. They don’t look like Greek Gods. But they are generally lean and quite fit and strong.
The range you see differs, the Hadza are generally fit and lean, with the occasional jacked dude.
They are also a prime example for our ancestors.
Adding to this, the presenter forgets that there were a lot more animals around, small to large. There literally was protein around the corner in many places of the world.
Not including seasonal fruits and tubers.
Check the hunter-gatherers tribes of Africa, those are the ones to take as reference. Not all but most of them are jacked due to precisely hunting or gathering activities.
Nah. 100% depends on the exact culture. Sure, they ain't fat, but "fit, strong and lean" are in no way dictated by living hand to mouth. Almost ALL, in the past, were terribly malnourished compared to modern man. The opposite of fat is not fit, it is death by starvation.
@@MatthewCleere that is so wrong. Skeletons from ancient modern humans point to a healthy lifestyle and good food intake, same goes for predecessor and sister species.
After the start of settled agrarian societies things become more complex, with some societies showing smaller stature.
@@sciencefliestothemoon2305 It is common knowledge that average lifespan was less than 35 years. There was nothing healthy about that. More died than made it passed the age of 2. Of those more died than made it to 20. There teeth were rotted out of there heads early. Their bone growth stunted by malnutrition. They weren't happy little athletes. They lived short brutal lives of uncertainty surrounded by death.
I'm not lazy, I'm conserving energy.
I'm still laughing... Great analogy, one I will definitely adopt and use 🤣
It’s true though
Thank you!!
I too am doing my part to slow the progression of entropy in the Universe by using minimal energy 🖖
I mean, yes, that’s where the urge to be lazy comes from. And why it’s so strong.
People who wasted energy died.
Conserving energy = eating less = fighting hunger in the world
During the pandemic, my job was converted to home-based only. For two years, I spent about 10 hours a day in a chair. I got a job 3 months ago that requires me to walk around on occasion; I have lost 20 pounds in 3 months, and the only thing that changed was the job.
20 pounds = 9 kg
No lie that's pretty good fam. And just a job switch of all things lol
Regarding optimal dose of exercise, if someone is sedentary a small amount of exercise is hugely beneficial. In fact, a small to moderate amount is BETTER than diving in with some epic effort. The returns to exercise volume and intensity diminish and ultimately become negative. If you aren’t fit, you are going to benefit massively from just a little exercise - big return and small investment. Then you can do more later. The Marathon may present itself as a natural next step eventually, but no need to worry about it unless you find it a motivating North Star.
Funny story: I was called in to HR for suggesting a coworker eat less. I'm fit and someone said they wanted to start exercising to lose weight. I said exercise is good for getting fit, but lousy for losing weight because the human body is so efficient. It's much more effective to cut 1000 calories/day than burn them. Not what they wanted to hear...
It's probably the way you said it then.
@@charliebee5154 Exactly as above.
@@epbrown01 I would stop working for a woke company like that. Fuck woke HR and snitches a coworkers. If they would talk to me about shit like that it would be the end of my time there.
@@epbrown01 I'm reporting you to HR
@@charliebee5154 Some people are also ultra defensive when they hear things they don't readily agree with (esp if it goes against what they understand). Also, you have no way of knowing what happened in that conversation and you think you can just think you know what happened? Please lol
People nowadays tend to greatly overeat. We eat just because we can, or because it feels good, not because our bodies actually need this many calories. I have two medium-sized meals a day and I'm perfectly healthy. And more importantly, slim and in good physical shape.
Yep me too..I do the 16/8 intermittent fasting…at 72 I’m fit and healthy and always ready to go…
It depends on the activity - work that we do.
well said
@@ezvx1178 True. I'm a web developer, so I'm sitting down a lot, so my body doesn't need that many calories.
Not saying that this goes for everyone ever, I personally can't do two meals a day. I'm hypoglycemic. Medical conditions are also a factor in fitness too
Nothing motivates me like music, with or without a positive message in the lyrics. I like especially Latin music e.g. samba and mambo. You may find it takes more effort to remain still, than to move in rhythm. You can expend any amount of energy you want. The music also occupies your brain in a pleasant way, allowing you to either forget, or focus on other things -- which is completely obvious, and why we listen to it in the first place. The way our brains process sound is so fantastic. It's just vibrating air, after all, yet we get so much out of it.
I think I need something to overcome my morning resistance to moving, I will try music thanks :)
People love hearing good news about their bad habits. Everyone should still do some kind of moderate exercise at least few times a week. Walking is the most natural thing. But if you’re trying to stay in shape, diet is the most important.
Just look at chimpanzees without their fur. They're jacked AF.
Totally agree- if you really don’t do ANY exercise then sure a little is better than nothing. But come on, the average person really should be doing AT LEAST 2-3 exercise sessions per week. Doesn’t have to be as intense as CrossFit or long distance running- just playing your favourite sport to get your heart rate up is enough!
3:05 - When you understand that human beings use their own saturated fat stores during lean times, you will begin to see how important fat is in gaining enough calories through a minimum of "food". After that, any movement is important for the brain and the circulation of fluids. I simple walk will more than take care of your "exercise".
And why do we need to "exercise"?
That is a question only the individual can answer; however, I have seen enough of life to understand that we "exerciese" in order to:
1. Lose weight - won't work long term because our bodies are not designed to peel off calories during a hunt.
2. Guilt - This is the emotional issues that the individual might face related to food.
3. To eat more of our desired foods - see number one above; this will fail eventually because your body is much smarter than your conscious self. It will reserve/conserve/adapt to stay in "balance".
4. To feel great - YES! My original answer above suggests that movement, no matter how slight, is good for the brain and fluid distribution. Just walk. We humans were designed to literally "walk down our prey to death". No animal on earth can outwalk us. Look it up!
We are awesome animals who need a good supply of fat to keep our metabolisms rolling along. You may waste your jaw muscles "chewing the cud"; however, fat just slides down the gullet, and get put into circulation very quickly. It is an excellent source of energy and Vits. DEKA.
Be well!
This is a great message of encouragement! Something, anything at all, is better than nothing.
This is now what I will tell people when they tell me to exercise: "I am saving my precious energy"
Well explained! Thank you very much!
The video did not even explain the take on the title. Great clickbait
Liver King wanted for questioning
Ive noticed they do that often lol
One way to tell whether our ancient ancestors were heavily muscled or not is to look at the bones. Heavy work that builds muscle makes bones grow and more dense. In the days of hunter/gatherers my guess is there was alot of leg development from being on the move and a more moderate upper body from fighting, hunting, climbing and building. Lean but not muscle monsters that we see in gyms today. Those bodies are useless for anything other than what they do in the gym and for looks.
Don’t think useless is the right word, but yeah they would have more lean muscle
@@Maximus-kx3kg I was saying that alot of the muscle guys build in the gym is useless, unless you're lifting for a sport, or to stay strong for whatever reason. I used to be one of those guys. Got huge in my younger days for wrestling, football and shotput in highschool. I used to spar with a friend who turned pro boxer and I kept my exercise routine going for years after highschool. But as time passed, my life changed. Had to care for a sick parent, worked crazy hours and got pretty burned out. Later went back to exercise, but the days of lifting huge amounts of weight were over for me. Old now, but I still try to stay fit. And I've realized that the work I put in the gym was really a waste of time. Still pretty strong for an old guy, but I can't lift up cars anymore.
One thing lifting heavy did to me was cause alot of arthritis and pushed my blood pressure up. Still have arthritis, but the blood pressure is good. Being too fat or too muscled up makes the heart work harder to push blood through all that extra tissue. In fact my left ventricle was thicker than it should have been. That's called athlete's heart. Not good.
Anyway, people can do what they choose, but all that extra muscle people put on today can be very damaging, if taken to extremes. The most important muscle in the body is the heart. Work to keep that strong and healthy. Everything else will take care of itself.
Cheers. Happy Holidays.🙏
@stevenbrown6593 Swimming is great. Walking or jogging, and some light weight lifting.
I use a paint of 15 pound dumbbells. A full body workout as time and my recovery allows. Or good, old fashion calisthenics. Tones you up without getting bulk. But always check with your doctor to see what's appropriate for you.
Hope that helps.
Long distance running (or whatever cardio you’ll tolerate doing), calisthenics, and weight training with lighter implements like kettlebells, sandbags, clubbells and maces.
"One hour a week is better than nothing" is like saying "One vegetable a week is better than nothing." Yeah, it is better than nothing, but it still isn't enough.
Thank you Dr. Lieberman. This is prudent advice. I especially like the part of not looking to athletes as a standard by which to measure the adequacy of your activity level. Far too often the lay public looks to athletes, and are so amazed by an athlete's physical performance, that the public assumes they must be the picture of health. With that misguided assumption about athletes, they try adhere to an athletes dietary and exercise protocols. Many times, athletes are actually not healthy, despite their impressive appearance, and such extreme levels of performance work to the detriment of longevity and long-term quality of life. When studying longevity and quality of life at a population level, the longest lived populations are not known to produce Adonis looking specimens that can approach world record numbers on sprints and lifts. They are all, however, at least moderately active, have sensible diets devoid of junk food, live in tight nit communities, sleep well, have low levels of stress, and get plenty of time outdoors.
Thank you for teaching the new generations about good music across many genres. Although i do enjoy watching first time reaction videos from milinials although I'm shocked at how many of my favorite songs growing up.
Thank you!
Amazing. Thank you
Amazing video! The topic made me think about how survival mechanism shape our body function.
I’m only doing 3 x 1 hour weight training sessions per week with a PT. Fits in my schedule, it’s sustainable and I feel good.
good one
I got a dog from the shelter, in part, to force me to get out and walk. Now we walk 2 miles a day on average. My doggy barks at me to get me out of the chair to go walking. It works! Lol
Very good
Scientist: just living is very expensive
Min wage workers: we know
So true, listen to your body. Over used and you just end up spending time in recovery doing nothing!
Listen to your heart, you will find
He is absolutely on point 👉🏻 a certain apathy has its merits.
I like your video. Since I was little I never liked sports. I did keep exercising after school, because I enjoy it. It's kept me mobile, and functional. I don't do it for hours like other people. There are days when I don't, but I pick up again another day. I use my phones calendar to write down what I do. I believe that doing a little is better than nothing at all.
I dont know about you guys but I enjoy learning these type of information..I dont know what I will do it with it but it makes me feel.good
I hope you also recognise your Creator, the Designer of your DNA and get incredible irreplaceable peace by submitting to Him.

Diet and theyre more active than we are lol
Lol because they eat fruits and veggies all day. Also they’re probably more active than we are what with living outside and ish. And the rest is probably genetic lol a chimp or an orangutan with human level muscles probably wouldn’t fair well
Because we have massive portion sizes compared to them, we also eat lots of processed foods with a poor nutritional value to the amount of calories they give, which also means you will feel hungry faster because of nutrient deficiency. And nevermind the sweets and junk food we eat.
If you kinda just lived normally, doing chores, work, do some activity outside you find fun, you can be very healthy, but it means actually eating healthy and focusing on low calorie nutrient rich foods, and just eating less. Focusing on water too. Upshot is if the food is rich, you will feel hungry less.
Only like a fifth of your calorie expenses is exercise typically. Maybe up to a fourth with particularly rigorous exercise.
This should tell you something. If you want to lose weight or improve health, the gym is helpful absolutely, but it’s not the smoking gun. Changing your diet is significantly more important. Several times more.
If you followed/mimicked a chimpanzee around for 24 hours I bet you would be exhausted.
I always figure that whatever makes you puff a little and sweat freely must be good for you; your fitness level will determine what that is for you. Just go out there and move around a little; make yourself a little tired. Walk immediately after dinner. Swim in the morning if you're lucky enough to have the opportunity, or just have a good all-over stretch when you rise for the day. Can't climb up stairs? Okay, but you can go down them maybe. You'll be amazed what a little movement does for your sleep. (Nope I'm not an expert, I just do all those things and they help me a lot; hope they do for you too.)
Couch Potato is a synonym for Energy Saver.
Nice. Yes the human body evolved for what you go through as far as activity and how often you intake energy through consumption. Balance it out how you like but that’s all it is from a physical standpoint
Finally, someone important calls pro athletes exactly what I’ve been saying for years.
Well,actually,great apes get more protein from fiber than humans do bc of their more complex digestive system,much more,so it's fair to assume based on dentation alone that some our ancestors or others we share a common ancestor with likely had the same ability...So there are other factors at work here.
have you seen the hairless chimpazees? they are shredded, full of muscles... also the lions conserve energy and they are all muscles
this what i watch when i dont wanna go to the gym.
Makes sense
I’m not lazy, I’m decreasing local entropy.
… just doing what living systems do.
Finally a good video
Finally a good excuse
@@LP-kw3kj for what?
I'm Kane and and even in c.5000 BC i was shredded just like my father Adam was.
Facts
Yeah
Why do i feel like i would hear this from an senior officer in north korea?
There is an energy saving scheme in in all discussions lately or is it my imagination?
Click bait title, but still a good video.

Another important truth about exercise is "more is better." Furthermore, "you can't get too much." Unless, of course you're already at death's door.
I wish enegy required to drink a glass of beer would be equal to energy of a beer.
Ummm then is there any Energy conserving healthy body type in present day like ripped or shruked or athletic etc ...
The video suggests our ancestors WERE jacked since they were required to actually work for survival unlike us
Yeah but that doesn't make for a good click bait title
@@proverbalizer a harmful one too, the ones who need to hear the opposite of this are being mislead
Interesting breakdown. Any exercise 'burns' only roughly one third more calories than if you were sitting down. Exercise also leads to increased appetite and more food consumption. Moderate exercise for fitness benefits, healthy continuous healthy eating plan (not short-term diet) for health.
Also hard-core fitness generally leads to poor health outcomes eventually. E.g. professional cyclists with later on heart problems, professional tennis players with buggered joints later in life.
Professional sports is not "hardcore fitness" by any stretch of imagination, it's professional sports, where athletes train for maximum competitive performance which often can and will compromise their overall health and fitness.
which one is better, rotting on a couch and constant escapism or actually moving and doing something with your life, there is no grey area
@@LP-kw3kj There is indeed a grey area. It’s called moderation. 😀
Hmmm i don' know... it just adds up to the mystery of how greeks figured out to sculpt such jacked men, with a very well defined and accurate way. They had to be jacked right?!
Does every man now looks like Chris Bumstead now?
This is an important and insightful message hidden behind a clickbait title. No fault of the good doctor, I imagine. But geez…
Yeah.
Truth.
Truth what will
not make you
happy.
Pyrros DImas! 2:35 thanks!
This guy is modernity personified
all he does is give lazy people excuses to be unhealthy, hedonistic blobs that rot away and lament the loss of a life not lived, and drown it out with escapism.
There's definitely over exercising. I felt it
nobody in this comment section over-exercises at all, in fact almost every american isn't even close to over-exercising, and instead uses it as an excuse to do half-assed exercise
I'm an expert, professional energy saver. 😎
people do 2 week fasting, ofc its doable once live like that for long
But my idol, LIVER KING, says our ancestors were JACKED!
*sarcasm
I asen yowie aka big foot and wonder we will confront them sooner or later , don’t know what’s going to happen.????
Maybe. Life then was a different earth.
Very true. I am in my 50s and have a very physical job. I probably eat 3-4000 calories a day. I am 5' 10" 175 lbs.
it did not sat anything about early humans being jacked or not.
Liver King left the chat.
ah come on, if im not doing my daily 2-3h workout routine, i feel like i wasted a day of my life
They weren't sitting around drinking soda, eating crisps and playing video games either.
They had high testosterone levels because they were on the move all day in a mostly clean environment.
I really dislike when hosts say "he, or she." Just say "they"!
Good video aside from that. The title pretty much says it all
people who live longest and healthiest are low calorie takers doing just enough exercise to maintain healthy functioning of the body. That's it.
Hardcore extreme athletes who push their bodies to the limit tend to live shorter lives, along with unnecessary excessive wear and tears on their bodies.
From now on, I'm calling every lazy person an 'energy conservationist'.
to exist we must consume, the more we do the greater the consumption.
the big cities are primarily for young athletes
I don't think they were energy savers. They were energy users to exist. They used all their energy just to breakeven. They probably burned 2000 or more on average to break even for a 160 pound person. In today's developed society we probably only require 1600 on average for a 160 pound person because we have machines. Now we are savers aka (more fat).
Anything is better than nothing!
He must be the life of the party
The most important thing is being healthy; whatever it takes to have a healthy body, should be done without fail is the be-all and end-all. There are many fat people living for longer years, while the skinny ones die in earlier years because of not living a healthy lifestyle. Obesity is itself not an issue at large but the way someone spends their lives in the long run, though having a heavy body is not ideal. When it comes to muscles and power, this is nothing but an illusion as well as gym going. Thank you for reading.
so now what?, should i sulk in hedonism and not do physcial activity because my body and mind is groomed into craving comfort over all else?, half-assed efforts mean nothing here and are unsustainable, there is no grey area balance when it comes to actually taking care of your health, you are either getting better or worse, no grey area.
Our ancestors were muscular though although not "jacked" ... The video and the title don't sync.
If this is true, why am I getting heavier?
Super Saiyans are real⁉️ 😱
They don't need workouts because their lifestyle is already their workout,but sedentary people NEED to do it,specially obese ones
Our ancestors looked like apes, their bone structures say so
Energy exerted must reflect energy taking in so as to exert it. Thus "diet" is critical. To think of prehistoric people as muscle bound idiots is superficial logic. A body builder is able to achieve their bulk because they maintain a diet conducive to doing so. Absent that dietary intake then working out would become counterproductive as their exertions would lead to their burning muscle.
So these primitive people were as strong as their diets allowed and as smart coincidentally as the same facilitated. By harnessing fire man was able to achieve higher caloric assimilation since cooking food allows for easier digestion and absorption. Their varied diets helped them to maintain muscle mass - yet the inconsistency of a hunter-gatherer lifestyle would also mean they lacked a regular intake of that diet. That would limit their ability to develop and maintain muscle mass. A few "alphas" who monopolized available food might have been strong = but most of the ground would be less so.
1600 a day for just existing?! bffr 😑
It's too bad that the human body will likely need a lot of time to evolve and take advantage of the greater resources we have now... Unless we re-engineer it soon.
A "perverted idea"? That doesn't seem like the correct word to use
oh come on big think! co-opting the name of ELI5 ? seriously?!?
Science is vague.

Love videos like this. They always omit crucial info like the fact that nonhuman bipeds had massively more dense and thick bones indicating that they had much more muscle mass. They were jacked. Like gorillas and chimps. Their feet indicate that as well. No arch is consistent with such body weight.
Babies don't have an arch. The arch is developed through walking and provides the springiness of our step.
@@micaelat3734 why did you bring up babies other than to deflect from my point? Non human bipeds were biomechanically different. Their toes were generally the same length, forefoot shortened and widened, and ankle shifted 12%forward, and no significant arch! In any foot or prints we have on record. They didn't have a springyness to their walk. They were not built for it. We interbred with neanderthals and other flat footed bipeds. The people today who have flat feet almost all have problems walking. It's an example of a derived trait from hybridization that is detrimental.
Ohhh yeah that looks like my Grandparents alright 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😤
All the Christians will lose their faith if they know that Jesus was not muscular white guy.

@@destructodisk9074 Did u see the abs on that dude?
Well, they're not jacked Cuz they are *MUscle HEad*
3 words to live by. BE LESS FAT.
He's not wrong but his answer is incomplete. The human body has adapts to the needs of person. This is why bodybuilders will eat 20 meals a day to allow the body to not need any fat stores. Africans ancestors would have been built like marathon runners to be able to maintain chase or a prey but even for their size they would of been muscular. Being jacked is also relative no one today would argue that a knight, a viking, greek phalanx or a comache were not fit. These cultural used a variety of training and did not have optimized diets. They may have not been ripped to the bone like athletes today but this modern look is very unnatural and usually involves synthetic drugs.
1600 Calories a day means you require about 80 Watts. Compare that to an incandescent lightbulb... or an intel processor. We are not that inefficient compared to our technology.
Interesting. This adds more irony to Bill Gates obsession with reducing the world's population
One of the many reasons I'm accepting of all body types. The guy that are jacked up and big aren't ever what everyone should seek
Bad title! Has nothing to do with the builds of our ancestors.
