I study “Super Agers”

You already know about blue areas – now, meet “Super Agers”.

This is what cardiologist Eric Topol, 70, calls approximately 1,400 healthy adults aged 80 and older, he spent over 6 years studying for his new book, “Super Agers: A Proof Lifelong Proof”.

When he first started the project, he suspected that genetics was the main reason these people had reached their dusk years without any hint of chronic illness.

It turns out he was wrong.

These living seniors had little genetic similarities, which meant that their longevity had to go down to the lifestyle factors.

After doing further research, Topol reached a simple conclusion.

“Of all the things we know, what rises to the top is exercise. In fact, it is the only interference in people who has shown any effect on slowing the aging hour throughout the body, means we seem to change as fast,” Topol told the Washington Post.

“Of course, other lifestyle factors, such as diet and social interactions, are very important. But if there is one thing that has the most extraordinary evidence of healthy aging, its exercise.”

What kind of exercise, do you ask?

Research has shown that the recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity-which may include gardening, hall dancing, yoga, lawn mowing, water aerobics and taking a fast-reaching out of your life.

That is why it makes sense that, for decades, Topol would suggest aerobic activity on strength training for his patients.

“This was a mistake,” Topol told Sot.com.

“When I saw all the rehearsals, I became fully convinced,” he told the Washington Post. “Resistance training and syllable strength have tremendous links to healthy aging.”

This perspective matches other research that show that strength training does not only build muscle – it also enhances mental sharpness, increases bone density and improves balance, which is especially useful for seniors who are at risk of decreased damage.

A recent study even training isolated force as the best type of exercise to combat insomnia in the elderly.

And AA Harvard study found that middle -aged men who could have at least 20 vacations had a significantly lower risk of heart disease.

Dr. Florence Comity, a medicine doctor with Manhattan precision, refers to muscle construction as “source of youth”, emphasizing its role in managing blood sugar and combating age -related muscle loss.

In general, it seems like lifting some weights – or using your body weight – can go a long way.

And the best news is that you do not need to join an expensive gym or engage in a specific daily window or studies show only 30 to 60 minutes per week of resistance training can reduce the risk of early death from all reasons from 10% to 20%.

The topol itself now does a force hour of force three times or 30 minutes four or five times a week-including classics like lunges, landings, meetings and boards.

“I’m more capable and stronger than I can ever remember, just doing it for more than a year now,” Topol said for today.

“If I’m going to be old, I’ll be more strong and old.”
