"When It Comes to Longevity, Regular Exercise May Be the Most Potent Weapon Against Disease"


Does this statement surprise any of you? An interesting Wall Street Journal article came out today regarding longevity and exercise/fitness. A couple of quotes that caught my eye were:

The most important strategy, according to the latest research to look at the question, is to be physically active in middle age. "If you are fit in mid-life, you double your chance of surviving to 85," says Jarett Berry, a cardiologist at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.

put a little more straight forward:

Put another way: If you're not fit in your 50s, your projected life span "is eight years shorter than if you are fit," Dr. Berry says.

Great article! In addition to promoting longevity, there is abundant research supporting exercise 3-4 days per week as the best known treatment for mild to moderate depression. A great solution for those who want long, healthy, and happy lives smilies/cheesy.gif

Great article. Whenever I hear about old people that are fit I always think of this guy "Banana George" http://bananageorge.com/about.html

He is 95 and still barefoot water skiing!

Sounds like some good work being done at CFMSP this past week. Looking forward to getting back in the groove! Only one workout done while in Cabo. Ran up the beach, 50 squats, then back for 4 rounds. Cooled off in the ocean afterward.

I guess that to get the personal loans from banks you should have a firm motivation. However, one time I've received a student loan, just because I wanted to buy a house.
