Case Study: Blood Pressure Monitoring, Fasting, Cardiovascular Health and Coffee

In my recent post, Celebrating 6 Years of Fitness with Ring Fit Adventure, I mentioned the importance of a proper diet and lifestyle for good cardiovascular health. Instead of digging too deep into the topic in that post, I chose to dedicate this addendum to the topic.

Since I'm leisurely working on my healthy lifestyle coaching program, I needed to gather metrics to show how effective the low-carb lifestyle is at supporting longevity and metabolic health.

This post dives into the topic of measuring blood pressure and what results one might expect by adopting the low-carb lifestyle. It's a bit involved (what is it with me and deep dives lately?), but totally worth your time, I promise. I will show you hard numbers and dynamics of what happens to the body on a day of intermittent fasting, after exercise and on a full day of a water fast, to help you realize that the body can manage itself just fine without stimulants.

6 Years Of Fitness With Ring Fit Adventure. Results, Custom Workouts, Notes On Sustainable Wellness. And a Survey

Time flies...

Hard to believe it’s been 5 whole years since I published my in-depth Ring Fit Adventure review, bringing my tenure with the game to six years total. If you haven't read that article — give it a quick skim, as it’ll help you make sense of the Ring Fit terminology I use here. All this time, that review has been sitting comfortably in my top three most popular blog posts, so it definitely deserves a follow-up.

In the original piece, I praised the game for everything from its mechanics to its effectiveness. But did it actually pass the test of time, or is it that I ultimately lost interest, became a functional adult, and finally grew a mandatory beer belly?
