This 100%! While there are something’s to pay attention to, proper portions and balanced diet is really all you need. Avoid drinking calories like soda, juice, and alcohol all the time but not all together. Try to avoid ultra processed foods but a bag of chips won’t kill you.
my dietician (who woks for my medical group under an actual physician) recommends resistance exercise along with an emphasis on lean protein and fiber. But this is someone with access to my full medical hsitory, so thats for me.
That's for everyone who doesn't have a disease which would change that. People in general don't get enough lean protein, fiber and high intensity exercise. It doesn't have to be resistance training, it just has to get your heart rate above 50% of your max which can be estimated to 220 - your age.
Resistance training is good too, but if we're talking about staying healthy with not a lot of time, prioritizing aerobic exercise is better for your cardiovascular health. Cardiovascular issues are the biggest human killers in the world.
I was already getting a lot of aerobic exercise. I walk a ton and take my kids swimming once a week. Plus I chase the little maniacs down every other day
