True to some extent. But it not the only answer to everything. One must indulge in good eating habits (proper nutrition) and combine both aerobic and anaerobic exercises into their DAILY routines. With the amount of crap food that we are inundated with daily, proper nutrition and exercise is imperative.

My Dad turns 85 on dec 2nd.

He told me two days ago that his exercise has been a huge factor in not having any major health problems.

He started running in '69 and kept it going all these years. Now he works out 4 days a week lifting free weights and running on a rubberized track.

I am not saying working out is going to add 10 or 20 years to your Life.

But it increases the chances of that happening.

I do Circuit training twice a week with free weights and biking two other times a week.

Exercising is like eating and sleeping for me.

It is just a part of my life. Once you have that engrained in your psyche you just do not stop doing it

Even with my OA, I could not live without it

  I hope to die healthy, during my peaceful sleep at home.Not in a hospital with number of tubes running in and out of every orifices.And that is on top of popping in fair amount of pills, having to forgo my favorite foods and having a mountain of debts due to the medical bill.It tears my heart to see caregivers having to make the most horrifying decision.Weather to keep their loved one on the artificial respirator or to pull the plug due to dwindling financial resources. Does anybody agree with me.My wife don't ,she says its all down to God's will.

Just was home for my dad's 90th. Danced with him at his party. He always taught us that you have to keep active both for your body and mind. He's sharp as a tack and still active.

I have another trick, too, that some people might appreciate. I live in Northern states. You just keep longer if you refrigerate half the year.

Very sensible article. While proper strength training (sometimes referred to as lifting weights) is VITAL to taking care of your body it is not the answer to everything.

No one thing is the answer to everything. Having a good balance of exercise, nutrition and mental/spiritual health is important.

I prefer my exercise Sound of Music style. "Climb every mountain...ford every stream".
I have a very awesome gym - it's called "outside".

I don't understand how some people even survive when I see the crap they eat. GMO, chemical stew. Yuck. At some point you get to eating enough toxin that even vigorous exercise can pump it back out of you.

I've always gone with physical labor for my exercise.
When my knee was an issue I was told to walk more to strengthen it. I got a job field testing rototillers where I walked for 9 hours a day (it worked out to approx. 30 miles a day).
One of the main reasons I stayed in landscaping for so long was because I looked at it as exercise. Same with playing drums, exercise.

I've only seen her look at someone else like that once. A little kid was staring at her in a restaurant. My wife was sitting across from me. I noticed her staring blankly over my shoulder. I turned around, and saw this little boy in the next booth. They were having a staring contest. It was one of our early dates. It was also one of the incidences I remember, that made me realize that she was probably the one for me.

It's hard to take the article, linked to in the OP, seriously when it starts off with nonsense like this:

Our early human ancestors only lived until roughly 30

The average life expectancy of our early ancestors may have been around 30, but that average figure is skewed by the high infant mortality rate (up to 45% according to some estimates).

Those who made it through to adulthood - and avoided becoming a lion's lunch - had a pretty good chance of living until 60+. Not too shabby considering the absence of antibiotics and vaccines.

Aaron; Yes, but that was also taking into consideration the high infant mortality rate. And kids that died from childhood diseases. It isn't that we are living so much longer now, it's that we aren't dying as often from diseases when we are young.

But once you lived to 20, your chances of living to 70 were actually pretty good.

Of course, with better nutrition, more sanitary living conditions, and treatments for age related illnesses....we are living longer lives than even 50 years ago.

Somehow, you missed what Frank was saying. If I have a twin brother, and he dies at birth, and I live to 80.....we, as a group, have a life expectancy of 40. But, if both of us would have just survived....probably close to 80 or even older.

I didn't miss any of that at all. We are not really saying much different.
I had read these blogs before I posted.

Crunching the numbers: How many people have ever lived? | 1000memories

Life Expectancy by Age, 1850–2011 | Infoplease.com

I was more responding to references to early days, lions, and skewed numbers.

The numbers would be skewed if we didn't include youth deaths, not because of it. Also I was just pointing out it was not long ago and right here far away from lions that people still were not living long.

I think we need to include all people born no matter when or how they died. This guy should have lived to 80...how about that guy who lived should have died and not made it to 80?

Just offering a different perspective.

It's not the perspective, it's the way the average figure is interpreted that's the issue.

Of course an average life expectancy must take into account the total mortality rate. But to use that figure as the basis for the statement "Our early human ancestors only lived until roughly 30" is incorrect. It implies that humans were dropping down dead when they reached the age of 30, which generally wasn't the case.

I thought it worth bringing up because it's a common misunderstanding whenever historical life expectancy statistics are cited.

Got it. LOL. I have a friend with bitchy resting face 'syndrome'. She is really very pretty and nice. Actually pregnant right now and has that kind of glow. I'll tell her next time she gets a hard time that she can just explain she is doing it on purpose to maintain her youthful good looks.
