The #1 antidote to aging | Daniel Lieberman, Morgan Levine & more

[@dunnowy123]

Honestly, I started seriously exercising about two years ago and it's changed my life completely. I feel so much better. I don't dread exercise, I look forward to it. It makes me feel good, I feel stronger, I feel more capable, more confident...and it's all the result of a blood test that told me my sugar was way too high.

[@eveb.6568]

omg, my story is SOOO different from yours. I absolutely hate exercising and I dread it every day. I try to put it off as late as possible daily and do the bare minimum. The idea that I will have to exercise today makes me depressed every day. I am losing the will to live because of it.

@@almasnk7469 Not really. It has always just been a habit of mine. I’m fortunate enough to grow up in a neighborhood/city that is very walkable. Tied in with the scenic views, that has made me personally want to go out on walks/hikes a lot. As of now, I am away from home at university. However, I still walk to all my classes from where I live (at least ~1 hr of walking daily) and am also fortunate enough to be taking yoga courses at my school. I actually just started it like 2 months ago. I don’t watch any videos on yoga but I’m sure that there a lot of great videos/KZbinrs out there for it. I think the most important part is the mindset, to incorporate exercise as part of your daily routine/habit rather than treating it as a chore. Best of luck with it!

key takeaways: 1. the end goal of aging slower is not to solve death but to maintain a healthy functioning of the body and brain for as long as possible. 2. exercise is the key to maintain a healthy infrastructure of the body annnnd the brain. 3. how to build a habit of exercise? - visit and link the habits (applicable to any habit u r trying to build) to your “whys”. - broaden your definition of “exercise”, seize every opportunity in daily life to squeeze a bit of physical movement

[@evedotcom]

Yeah, the best, sure, but if you’re implying that’s the only exercise you need, no. I’m really good at maintaining my cardio training and really enjoy it, but I barely ever do enough strength training. I need to do it for general health and longevity. I can’t rely on just the things I enjoy and will do willingly.

I was completely baffled by the total omission of ludic kinds of exercise like team sports or activities such as tennis and badminton. It is to me irresponsible that an expert should state in a video like this one "getting healthy is generally displeasurable", which is plain wrong and can scare people away from a healthier life. This speaker implicitly equates physical exercise with working out: lifting weights, performing repetitive motions in general. What about basketball, soccer, handball, ultimate frisbee, ping pong, handball, volley ball, water polo, surfing...?

I had a typical US childhood ferried from door-to-door in the back seat of car; I got my license at 17. However, when I went to college it totally changed how I looked at exercise. I suddenly walked to everything and my car sat unused for weeks at a time at the edge of campus. At my first internship I lived in a city for the first time and later saw many of my co-workers at another gig bike to work on the only trail in the region. I became determined to make exercise not a boxed activity, but an intrinsic part of my life. Of course when I graduated it was an uphill battle to realize this goal. I got a job in an exurban area and the few places I could walk or bike were generally unpleasant or terrifying (I often rode in the shoulder of an 8 lane arterial). On my next job I moved to an inner suburb, and things we're a bit better, but it got to the point where I realized what I was trying to do was a political statement. I was frequently in tense or life threatening situations and the target of aggression and harassment, mostly from people in cars. While this may not be encouraging for some, I ultimately decided to leave the US for good. I now live in northern Europe and walk or bike for basically every daily trip all year around. While some people still live behind a steering wheel here, active living is the norm for many people and I and my partner feel very safe and supported in that by the way things are set up here. I know we'll be able to live this way both when we have kids and well into our old age.

Whether it does or does not prolong longevity, being sedentary and leading generally unhealthy lifestyle surely shortens it. My grandfather died in 40’s from aneurysm. He was brutally strong and stocky but loved beer and had high blood pressure when drinking, one day he dropped. My father, also brutally strong stocky man, loved pasta and cigarettes to excess, one day he dropped from untreated heart disease none of us knew about. My grandma who is 95 and her two brothers who lived to mid 90’s were moderately active, had a broad diet and didn’t overindulge anything in excess. For me, life matters so long as I can live a quality life, which to me is having a sound mind, being mobile and eat quality food. I buy cheaper things and more expensive food. Will it work? No idea, but it’s within my control to do everything I can.

Perhaps this will help/inspire: I'm 54, I've been doing karate as realistic self-defense for the street (not sport/competition karate), for about 15 years, and I've exercised once to three times a week continuously since about age 23. Strength training is a big part of my personal training as well as for karate. Yesterday, after a kettlebell workout in the back yard, I walked down the concrete steps to the basement of our apartment building. I was not careful in that I didn't think about the slipperiness of the steps due to all the rain and leaves there. My feet suddenly flew upwards and for an instant, I was in midair. I landed directly on my butt, then the right elbow. The violence of the fall startled me, and the pain was, to say the least, intense. (Have to add here that it is thanks to karate training that I kept my head up during the fall so that it would not also land on the concrete.) Yet, I stood up immediately and walked off the pain. I'm sure than a person who doesn't exercise and do strength training regularly would have had to spend weeks to months in the hospital after such a violent fall. Honestly, right after the fall, I would not have been surprised if I'd broken my elbow, yet, today I don't even feel any pain there. My bottom feels sensitive, but doesn't hurt either. This whole incident reminded me of what someone once told me what his doctor had told him. Your body or your frame, ie the muscles and the bones, also serve as protection from such injuries. They prevent damage to the organs. It's a rush when you experience the validity of something that you've been told to believe. It's mind-blowing when that experience is so potentially dangerous and violent. Cheers.

My third and last input: I can confirm that exercise rejuvenates us. Personal experience. After walking on the treadmill for like 45 minutes, at night, I lay down for 5-10 minutes on the floor and enjoy the feeling. Then stretching and range of movement exercise for my joints. It is so rewarding when I stress my joints and stretch muscles, I am literally looking forward that feeling. Then some core strength exercises, then a few push ups for arms strengthening... I go to sleep almost in extasy. Exercise feels good. They could have mentioned the antioxidant ubiquinone we produce when exercising. That could help people motivating them more.

@@almasnk7469 not really. During pandemic I was mostly sedentary, to the point that my body wasn't happy, some funny feeling around the hip flexors and relief came after I stood up and moved around. So I got myself a treadmill. And while in many households it very quickly becomes a dust collector, not in my case. Two and half years and I still use it several days a week. Then just listening to my body and what makes me feel good. Stretching always did, and getting my joints moving outside a normal functioning range also feels great. One time I had to travel by car, sitting for hours. I couldn't wait to get out and get some workout to my thighs. About 10 jumps from deep squats made me feeling myself again (I can do Asian squats, too). The guy on the petrol station sitting in his car and watching me looked quite puzzled. I didn't mind. Plus, when the heating goes off and it becomes cold in the evening, I heat up from inside, watching youtube videos and walk. At least 200 kcal per session, that is the weight I didn't gain over the pandemic. And it also helps to keep off the family fate of type 2 diabetes.

There are a number of problems in our culture and to a large extent, in the human psyche when it comes to exercise. There is no obvious pain or discomfort that comes with a sedentary lifestyle. Becoming overweight, joint pain and diminished cognitive abilities can all be blamed on aging without exercise being considered as a remedy. I am 74. I have heard many of my peers say, "I'm too old for that". I will say that the older the person, the more careful he or she has to be when beginning or intensifying an exercise program. The stuff is older, after all.

I’m 61, I did long distance running for several decades since college, and had to give it up 8 years ago as it damaged my knees. I took up ice skating and ice hockey instead. Some people who see me skating don’t believe I’m over 60. Exercise makes you feel good, especially mentally. I recommend team sports, as they are social, and sports which require significant skill acquisition. Then you use your brain, and you see your progress as you get better at drills. I hate gyms, I get bored too easily, and I don’t need big muscles. My weight is normal, and my hesrt rate is low, sometimes down to the low thirties. Sleeping is my bug bear.

[@whomadethatsaltysoup]

Excellent video. Health professionals approach wellness with a skewed lens. Managing illness with medication, and talking about longevity as if it were the ultimate goal. We don't often hear GPs talk about healthspan. This mindset is based on the erroneous assumption that physical and mental decline are inevitable, and should be accepted, provided we live to ripe old age. Of course, I am not naive. A gradual deterioration of physical and mental performance - and I can personally testify to this - is to be expected. That said, many adults today are exhibiting attributes often associated with septogenarians in their 40s. Similar to T2dm, fifty year's ago, when it was referred to as adult onset, typically occurring in middle age, it was more manageable than today, where the disease is manifesting in children as young as eight. Obviously, modern medications can prolong life in both scenarios. However, I assume we can agree, requiring a walking stick to catch some fresh air, or go shopping at eighty, may be an acceptable result of the aging process, wheras amputation, an electric wheelchair, or regular dialysis in your 30s or 40s, being entirely preventable, is not.

Yes! This should be taught to everybody. Ph,sical exercise does wonders for the body and one's mental health, especially in the older ages. It rejuvenates the spirit, body and mind 😃

Just look at yoga teachers. They typically look much younger than they are. They age so gracefully and slowly. This is my 25th year doing yoga. I'm 44. When I compare myself to other women at my gym of similar age, I am so much more flexible, strong, and younger-looking than they are. (Being childfree is also a huge factor, because parenthood puts a huge amount of physical/emotional stress on a person, which makes them age faster.) Every time I forward-fold and put my palms on the floor, I know I'm right where I should be. Weight-bearing exercise, like HIIT, is also very important. Especially for women who can develop osteoporosis easily. Lifting weights is one of the best ways to keep our bones healthy. (Simply taking a calcium supplement or drinking milk is NOT ENOUGH.) My mother developed osteoporosis and stenosis at age 80. She was always very active but never did any weightlifting or yoga. I am determined not to go down the same path. I have been doing HIIT for ~4 years now. I am lean and muscular, I'm in the best shape of my life.

Thankfully I've always feared being fat (which is a good thing since being fat is unhealthy). And now I'm 90 years old, look 55, and able to still do 200 consecutive pushups in a row.

It's crazy how well you can feel by (i) sleeping well (i.e. and removing your cellphone from your room!); (ii) exercising; and (iii) eating healthy (remove fined sugar; and include intermittent fasting). That's it.

[@austinfreyrikrw6651]

Great video! As a personal trainer, I cannot agree more with the points made in this video. Just start to move more. If you can swing it, even 1 session at the gym is better than none. Slowly build up the momentum and eventually exercising will become part of your life routine.

[@nvmffs]

1 sesh is immensely better than none! There are diminishing returns as with everything else in life so mustering up the willpower for just 1 session weekly is going to bring you tremendous benefits compared to your sedentary lifestyle!

[@iche9373]

Why gym when you can have a home program

[@apple1231230]

I’ve always hated exercise (besides running because I’m a freak) but there’s no better feeling in the world than finishing a hard work out and knowing it’s time to eat.

[@PositiveEnergy733]

To the person reading this May the stresses in your life melt away and may you find complete peace. Remember to take a moment to yourself and find something to put your mind at ease. MENTAL HEALTH IS IMPORTANT AND YOU ARE IMPORTANT! May your future bring you nothing but peace and blessings! 💕

Cycling is very pleasurable. Give it a go, you'll thank me later. (in reference to the video at 11:23)

All age related symptoms are linked to hormones decline. Hormone therapy is the key to a health aging. With that, you will have more energy to exercise, brain function and sexual behavior.

im not afraid of death, im afraid of frailty.

mental frailty is even worse

[@mostguitarswins]

There's a lot of great information here, but one thing that wasn't a strong focus is how great exercise makes you feel once you get into the rhythm of it. So-called “runner's high” is not limited to running. Any form of exercise sufficient to release endorphins will elevate one's mood, and that serves as an additional incentive to keep it up. 👍👍

[@ARPorganics]

If you're scared and don't have answers to life and purpose. It's simple. Just be you. You are different from anyone else. You are your own individual. Your beliefs, thoughts, and actions are not others. Choose your words and vision your life wisely. One thing we all have in common is that we get one chance to live in the human body here on earth.

[@Snitchie]

Variation of IF here, and dance in VR 2 hours every day on avrage, done wonders to the body. So added in push ups, dipbs, bridge and horse stance + karate kicks. But what works for me may not work for others. But main thing works for US ALL, MOVE YOUR BODY !!! Thanks for sharing this

Wow! Ty Big Think for covering Longevity again. Was a big surprise 😮

[@thelionsam]

So much common sense and good advice 👏🏻

[@jamesstrom6991]

Here is the best tip for consistent exercise. Don’t commit to how long or how hard. Just tell yourself five minutes. On that day when you din’t feel up to jt, just tell yourself “five minutes, that’s all”. Inevitably, after a minute you end up doing more. Consistency is the crux.

[@nickthx1138]

Best thing find an activity you like and enjoy.

[@jona2354]

Sleep is one of the most important factors as well and kind of missing here…

Great work, super dense content and will definitely give us a better life

[@eleisatrujillo3398]

😂 yes I'm almost 40 but I've always looked like I'm 12. I'm happy to age health and now I'm old enough for people to stop talking to me like I'm under 25. I love to exercise. It's a good pick-me-up. Much better than having a 🍷 or smoke to relax u!😊

Really this video compelled me to Re-think and help me to broad my thinking about exercise ❤❤ Changed my perspective 😎🙏

[@korayaptall]

Interesting that they prioritize healthspan compared to lifespan. For us humans, increasing lifespan X years by exercising 3 times per week sounds like a measurable goal and we like to live longer and see grandchildren etc. Increasing healthspan though is not that measurable and in fact very broad and invisible but it can be more important, especially for people like me who suffer from hyperflexiblity in all their joints. I used to suffer months even years after simple finger injuries. Now, I exercise constantly to reduce these injuries and can heal them much faster to be able to continue exercising and live my life without boundaries.

[@koleszka35]

A bit off-topic. The background music - what's the title? Who's the composer? I know it's kinda generic type of music, but I would love to use it for studying. What type of genre of music is this?

[@mabus4910]

Two thoughts about this. 1) I ama pretty active person. I exercised when I had more time, but whem I have a job it is nearly impossible to fit in 120 min of exercise in a week. 2) the world is so shitty that really nobody I know wants to have a long live. We all wamt to leave as early as possible.

[@SamSam-qm1li]

Exercise plus fasting does wonders

[@pumpthewater419]

Start exercising and intermittent fasting when you are young. It will change your life for the better in ways that you can’t imagine. Now that I’m older, the only thing I wish to change about my life is that I started being a lot more physical with more exercise when I was a younger person. All your wealth means nothing if your body isn’t healthy.

[@angeljia3506]

I don’t think exercise alone is enough for a longer health span. We also need mental exercise, like puzzles, solving math problems, learning a new language etc. I know people who are quite athletic but are not very bright. I suspect they would be more susceptible to age related intelligence loss.
