Nabila and Naveed discuss and list out certain small, simple changes that can lead to big health improvements over time. Naveed shares personal tips from his journey that help in gradually building healthier habits.
The discussion dives into why it’s so hard to avoid unhealthy food, especially for people in poorer areas, the staggering increase in type 2 diabetes among people under 40, and how genetics and environment can make it harder for some people to lose weight.
