Does exercise slow aging?

[@scotthumphrey6477]

I'm 77, and I exercise every day because it makes me feel good.

[@kwikstep-1]

I am no expert, I am just a retired peon, not well educated, but I reach the old age of 86 yrs by doing my own exercise that put emphasis on mental stimulation, engage in social interaction & enjoy life while exercising, I don’t go to the gym, don’t lift heavy weights, don’t do strength training. I mainly exercise to enjoy life. My exercise is dancing to a variety of dancing styles around 15, different dances. I still dance & attend dance parties 4 to 5 times a week for at least 2 hrs. Attending dance parties most last until midnight, except the Salsa Bachata parties last until 2:00 AM.is what keep me alive & have fun.

i think the majority of people watching this are missing the point in the poised question adding additional exercise to a person who naturally meets all of his biological demands in physical activity from his day to day life (i.e. living how humans evolutionarily are supposed to be living) will most probably not add any extra years of life to his genetically predetermined lifespan on the contrary, adding exercise to a person who is not meeting the biological demands in physical activity during his day to day life (i.e. your modern human following a sedentary lifestyle) will most probably extend his compromised lifespan by a significant stretch but will not surpass his predetermined genetic lifespan under the conditions of optimal human daily activity

[@DoctorHemi]

Exercise can definitely add years to your life, so if you measure age by "how many years of life I have left" or perhaps, more importantly, "how many years of quality life I have left", then it does slow aging. However, it does NOT appear to prevent (or even delay) the appearance-related changes associated with aging like balding, wrinkles, gray hair, crepey skin, age spots, etc.

[@shembeliever6095]

Well said! 👏 Moreover I must say that daily exercise has improved my skin appearance, youthfullness and bounce like no other via the mechanism of sweating and detoxing. 0 acne, 0 blemish, even tone, smooth skin, bounce. Albeit my nutrition is very clean, protein, collagen and plants focused, I strongly believe it is exercise that is the fountain of youth (appearance wise, biological age wise). Everytime I've stopped exercise for too long of a break, my skin suffers from the internal inflammation and looks dull, blemished and definitely older. I also do sauna a few times a week which has an amazing effect on skin health and detoxification.

daily brisk walking sessions and earthing makes my face look better for some reason

you posted this short moment i myself pointed out on your comments as being the best moment in your entire 3 hour interview. peter , you're the best!

[@mixalis6168]

My friend is 75, he is fitter than most men, no matter what age, can do the splits, 73 kg, and still squat 140 kg, exercises daily and eats well, not illness, no meds

[@leandrobecker123]

My opinion: if you "avoid" a cardiovascular event (stroke, heart atack) you automatically stay alive and prolong your aging process. So avoiding a cv event (MACE) will slow aging in my vision. This article show us that specially if you have high genetic cv risk walking (exercise) reduce your chance of any cardiovascular event (including cv death). So: exercise slow aging. And interesting that the same exercise has different impact on each person.

[@WadeHodges]

I’m 70 and 3 weeks ago my Vo2 was 53……….. 2 weeks ago I had a cv event in the left descending coronary artery! Had a stent put in……. Bp before CV was. Normal 112/68 avg…… Now 2 weeks after my Bp is 118/72 and RHR is 52……. A1C is 4.9 and bodyfat 10%……. Cardiologist said that everything else showed I was equal to a fit 40yo…. But one major artery probably affected by genetics had me in great pain for 12-15 minutes! Life 😂 But I’m coming back I will not hold back it’s who I am

[@leandrobecker123]

​@@WadeHodgesgreat that you are ok now! Atherosclerosis is a silent disease and ~ 50% of heart atack patients one day before were completly assintomatic. That's why I personally use imaging (coronary ct) to investigate the patient .

My sister has stage 4 Breast cancer as diagnosis with mets to lymph nodes, diabetes and later developed a rare form call Medullary thyroid cancer,she have just 2 years to live and she never been this scared to die, she just 37, i cry everyday wishing for a miracle to happen. i don't know why I'm saying this here. put me in your prayers.

[@DavidJackson-u8t]

im really sorry. i've was in such situation 15 months ago. i had just 2 months to live till a friend told me about a healer who helped me. She cured me, I don't know how she did it. but i owe her my life. she's the reason i'm alive today.

[@JamesFelix-v1s]

That's wonderful, how do i get in touch with the healer?

[@DavidJackson-u8t]

Her name is Prophetess Regina Kuma,and she is a great healer who can heal you. you can look her name up online and you will find all you need.

[@JamesFelix-v1s]

Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive

[@davidkennedy8929]

Scammers are here people, beware.

[@stevencole7331]

I think it's more simple . If you have less time to exercise you should increase intensity for a shorter time . If you have more time to exercise you should do it longer at a less intensity

[@kydnas3708]

great content, thank you!!

I bet exercise can also fasten ageing in certain context

[@trishdadish21]

Wish I had a PhD to understand all this. Basically exercise, it’s best for your body.

[@untio]

What about the relation between exercise and sirtuins?

[@dougsalmon1563]

You need to add "functionspan" specific adapatation to imposed demands.

[@airbear8]

I thought Peter Attia talked a lot about how having a high VO2 max can reduce risk of all cause mortality by 5X? I’m confused how you can reduce ACM without increasing lifespan?

[@andreimatveev365]

If you take measures to minimize your all-cause mortality risks, you'll decrease the likelihood of dying prematurely. But that doesn't necessarily mean that minimizing all cause mortality risks will allow you to live longer than the average human lifespan. At least that's how I understand it.

[@MsSunstoned]

Yes. Do those studies. We need more info. We're old. We isolate. We need to know.

[@chrisolson3240]

50 plus is critical years of exercising. Even if obese. Walking with purose after a meal and resistance training is most important. Obviously, what one eats is impoort as well.

[@traceler]

Exercise volume increase wear and tear in joints, so better to go slow and below. Professional athletes usually are not the longest living organism out there, including white horse, Steve Cotter who was young and unbelievable strong! or Florence Griffin the Sprinter holder of world record in 100 m dash female who die young. and on and on even in endurance sports.

[@dmjung]

Professional athletes are presumably an extreme and I doubt most people have the time resource to reach that level. OTOH, reaching the opposite extreme of a sedentary lifestyle is quite easy.

[@arneilmarquez]

Exercise keeps you in great shape and gives off a youthful aura. Doesn't stop aging.

[@kenneaderhiser7768]

Does exercise help avoid causes of death? If a person dies of something chronic exercise could have prevented, then exercise does extend lifespan

[@surrealistidealist]

What do you think repeated covid infections might do to our aging process?

[@gzusrocks6482]

The renowned Dr. Peter Attia: "Canagliflozin?" Me: --------------------------------------> God Bless You!!!

[@zentzu4003]

ofc it does.. but it just depends how you define aging and you also have to consider the alternative... the altnative being you are not as fit and able and reduced bone density etc

I think it’s all to do with genetics Grandfather was with us until he was 101 smoked and drank most days, apart from working as a mechanic for 40 years I don’t think he ever excercised

[@infiniteworfare5089]

imagine getting injured and losing your limb at a young age because of exercise and you spend your whole life living with a lost limb.

[@AlwaysSerious]

Still better than living your entire life with 3 brain cells. 🤪

Nope. Exercise is stresful, and stress ages you. This is pretty simple to comprehend.

[@glavlhff5984]

It's just temporary stress which makes you stronger

[@cuteface88]

@@glavlhff5984 A heavy workload is temporarily stressful yet that ages you. All stress you endure is temporary. It doesn't last forever. Also, having strength does not magically make you live longer.
