Beyond 10,000 steps: protein, strength training and sleep matter too

Walking 10,000 steps a day helps, but it is only part of metabolic health, says Govind Lohia, metabolic health coach and co-founder of The Good Weight. He notes that typical Indian meals like poha, rotis, sabzi and idli are mostly carbohydrates with little protein, and says adding protein, strength training, better sleep and other daily habits can make a real difference.
