So regular exercise and appropriate level of fitness for age are good for you.
You mean just like my “ignorant” farmer grandmother knew.
I suppose this kind of money needs to be spend for the benefit of leftits who need to be told the sky is blue by an “expert” before they’ll believe it.
It’s all in the genes... If you have good ones, you’ll likely live a good long time barring any accidents and Darwin like behavior. If you don’t... You’ll die young.
Just more discrimination against exercise averse people. I was born lazy. I could’ve crawled out of the womb. I saw the light at the end of the tunnel but said “nah, somebody will come and get me” and they did. I’ve been loafing ever since. Nobody should ever get mad at me, I never did anything. I won first place at the lazy competition and got atrophy. I sent somebody else to go pick it up for me.
My dad, always pretty active, starting running as a type of hobby to stay in shape beginning sometime in his mid to late 40’s. He was a brilliant guy! Was in electronics in the military, retired with 20 yrs then worked 23 or 4 yrs for NASA at Wallops Island, VA. I never saw anything he couldn’t fix - mechanical or electrical - it didn’t matter. He lived to be 86 but died of dementia. On his runs at the end, he would forget where he parked his truck. He would get out of the house sometimes without my mom knowing, running along the highway and the police would have to bring him home. He didn’t know where he was. After he tried to hit my mom (she beaned him in the head with something) that was the last straw - so to speak. She found a good nursing home that had special facilities for someone like him - and visited almost daily until he passed. Exercise is important but sometimes it’s not enough. I think diet and genes can sometimes be big factors as well. He had a big sweet tooth and consumed lots of carbs for the long runs. He didn’t know the things we know today that might have helped. I’m pretty sure exercise wasn’t one of them.
