When it comes to exercise for heart health, you don't want to peak too early in life. Recent research suggests that if you want to protect yourself against high blood pressure as you age, you need to play the long game and keep your exercise levels up through middle age.
But social factors can make this more difficult for some people to do than others, according to a study of more than 5,000 people across 4 US cities.
"Teenagers and those in their early 20s may be physically active but these patterns change with age," study author and epidemiologist Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) explained in April 2021, when the study was published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

Here is the correct version:
As Rodney Dangerfield used to say, “My doctor told me I should run five miles a day for exercise. I called him after two weeks and said, ‘Doc, I’m 70 miles from home!’” Rodney would add, “That’s a math joke.”
Hahaha
How cute!! Has Tippy some Shepherd? I’ve got a big GSD gets hard to walk him with my arthritic hands.
Loose skin?
I’m in the healthy 20%. Weigh 112 and before Covid lockdowns did a 14-minute mile on the treadmill five days a week. Working up to that much exercise again, but it’s a slow process.
I don’t eat wheat because, according to Wm. Davis, MD, wheat is the cause of cholesterol. I have potatoes every day. No butter or cheese or any form of saturated fat, which clogs arteries. Olive oil is great.
If you’re interested, you can read “Wheat Belly” by Wm. Davis, MD. He really changed my life. BP was 116/76 at MD’s office a couple of weeks ago and I take only one prescription drug, Lisinipril, which is for your heart.
Bkmk
The wife and I walk 4 miles a day, 5-6 days a week. I go to the gym for muscle-toning twice a week.
I carry about 15 lbs I don’t need, but they don’t want to leave....my doctors tell me that if I’m not morbidly obese, and I’m comfortable, I shouldn’t worry about trying to achieve my early years leanness...
Well, she’ll chase anything with four legs, including Sheep. LOL.
I have no idea of her pedigree, as she was a rescue.
No need to check her DNA, she’s a true blue bluie as far as I’m concerned. LOL.
“No butter or cheese or any form of saturated fat, which clogs arteries.”
I also read Wheat Belly and agree that today’s hybridized version of ‘wheat’ is poison, as far as the human body is concerned. I also put sugar right up there with wheat.
A couple of places where I differ from you somewhat: From everything that I’ve seen, carbs, overall are the culprit. So, in addition to wheat and sugar, I’d recommend adding potatoes and rice (and other grains) to the no-eat list. Also, even the government and Big Medical (American Heart Association and American Diabetes Association) has ended their demonizing of saturated fats, as no one has been able to show the association between clogged arteries and saturated fats, seems that it ‘just made so much sense’ that no one ever tried to verify it (Triglycerides, which come directly from carbs, is what clogs arteries).
