How did doctors come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life?
The rabbit is always jumping, but it lives for only 2 years.
The turtle that doesn't exercise at all, lives 400 years.
So … Have a drink ...🤗
Take a nap ...
😂
Lived to be 90, had a great sense of humor, read (and wrote a lot of books and drank his fill every day.
Yes, he did a few other things too along the way!
Okay, I wanted to believe that email. But as Ronald Reagan said, trust but verify. So I looked up “treadmill”. William Staub is generally regarded as the inventor of the first practical treadmill. He lived to be 96.
I was going to check more of those statements, but I gotta run out now and buy a treadmill.
Can we get Pelosi and Hillary to exercise?
😁 I asked my husband a long time ago why he never exercises. He said that your heart is only good for so many beats so he’s conserving his. 🤣
They exercise their yaps too much.
Can we get Pelosi and Hillary to exercise?
********
Don’t know about Pelosi but Hillary
would be hard put to exercise. jmo
And pothead Willie Nelson is 88. A pothead, yes, but I like him nevertheless.
I heard Trump believed something similar.
“but I gotta run out now and buy a treadmill.”
Do you need that treadmill? Sounds like you run anyway and actually go somewhere on those runs.
Excellent
What HiLIARy needs is exorcism!
I worked for NASA back in the day and one of the astronauts—I can’t remember who—said to an inquiring reporter who asked him about exercise that “every human had a finite number of heart beats and he wasn’t going to waste any of his with exercise.”
That was Neil Armstrong
Life expectancy is tricky.
At birth today, LE in the US is about 78, and falling last yr. The two big causes of fall were Opioid overdose and Covid. The fall was only a few weeks.
LE in Russia for women is 11 years higher than men. Everyone leaps to say vodka, but the few investigations into this did not point at vodka. Since then, more say vodka.
If you reach 65, your LE is not 13 more years to 78. It is about 20 yrs — since you dodged a lot of early death reasons.
The taller you are, the earlier you die on average. It was once thought this data was skewed by warfare (better target), but no, the data holds up for LEs measured beginning past military age. Current theory is bigger people have more cells in which something can go wrong.
Females outlive males. This is true for almost all animals. Likely derives from size of the animal, per above para.
There exists a parameter called HALE — Health Adjusted Life Expectancy. Disability tends to hit about 10 yrs before death.
Heart disease is the #1 killer in the US. Until 65. Then cancer, still outnumbers Covid. For all causes last year, there were 25% more deaths 65+ than in a typical year. They began in the months of March/April before severe lockdown/restrictions were in place. The curves are clear. Oldsters were dying above normal year rates before there was any media splash to scare them away from docs. The 65+ death count last year was about 1% of the total 65+ population.
Most progress in Life Expectancy takes place at the early end, not the late end. Statins and hypertension meds add time to the LE stats. But total years added to the population stat is far more affected by better treatments for infants and children.
There is a long standing presumption that single men die far earlier than married men. This statistic was never clean originally and of late additional studies say single men 65+ have no LE difference vs married. Attributed to automation of nagging to get to doctor appointments and also home nursing benefits on most insurance. There is also a new thing called PapaPals. Read about it.
19-44, single men were 900% more likely to die vs married and the primary cause of early death was infectious disease. Nothing to do with a wife sending them to have their BP checked. The study was done in the AIDS years.
“Lived to be 90, had a great sense of humor, read (and wrote a lot of books and drank his fill every day.”
He also continued smoking until his death and abstained from physical labor most of his life.
Go ahead and substitute running guru and marathoner Jim Fixx, author of the “The Complete Book To Running, with Staub. Fixx ended up dying from a heart attack at the age of 52 while running. Cheers!
