That research is correct. After age 45, exercise is more beneficial to good health than diet, vitamin and other supplements, or any other snake oil out there.
A different kind of exercise than hunting and gathering, and maybe not so healthy. But it's not exactly a couch potato lifestyle.
Yeah. Athletic humans who had an average life expectancy of about 30 years. I’ll take civilization. Anyone who wouldn’t, I have 2 words for you.

Think how happy we’d been starving in the savanna if only we’d skipped agriculture completely. When I see the subsistence lifestyle of hunter/gatherers I long for those simple days.

Ugh. Please, can’t we just elect socialist overlords to take us back to the good old days?
