There really are things you can do to keep your body looking healthy and youthful for years to come. But before I discuss these things, I want you to answer the following questions honestly: Are you willing to make the hard sacrifices needed to be really healthy? Are you willing to commit yourself totally to a program of regular exercise, close medical supervision, and the elimination of all caffeine, alcohol, and rich foods, to be replaced by a strict diet of nutrition-rich, kelp-like plant growths so unappetizing that they will make you actually lust for tofu?
Or are you the kind of shallow, irresponsible person who wants a purely cosmetic change, a “quick and dirty” surface gloss that may make you look young and healthy, but actually has no long-term value? Me too.

A quotation from Dave Barry

Is there something you can do about it? You’re darned right there is! You can fight back. Mister Old Age is not going to get you, by golly! All you need is a little determination — a willingness to get out of that reclining lounge chair, climb into that sweatsuit, lace on those running shoes, stride out that front door, and hurl yourself in front of that municipal bus.
No, wait. Sorry. For a moment there I got carried away by the bleakness of it all. Forget what I said. Really. There is absolutely no need to become suicidally depressed about the fact that every organ in your body is headed straight down the toilet.

Dr Topol Clarifies: The Flawed V02 Max Craze

“In the past couple of weeks I’ve had 2 patients contact me because they were worried: their V02 max was decreasing.

Their data were based on smartwatch imputations, which are notoriously imprecise. But the problem is much bigger than that.

In this edition of Ground Truths I’m going to get into the difference between #CardiorespiratoryFitness and #V02max, which are remarkably different for the way they are measured,”

I mean, I didn't expect any better from assigning the Department of Defense to a hack entertainer, but this is just batshit crazy. He wants the men in the military to be strong and svelt, no fatties in the pentagon. Strength is important, not brains. We will fight, fight, fight! Fight for peace! What a fucking dumpster fire this is:

This is the third board wipe in as many years.

1032 days ago, my exercise regime changed from "finish the number of reps" to "relax every muscle not under exercise" and holy shit has it been a game changer.

When I stopped caring about the weight or reps and just focused on the relaxation, #physicalfitness become an #exercise in #mindfulness and #relaxation that I actively make time for and look forward to.
