Good article
So yes (and I hope
OldGreyFox reads this as he can back this up perfectly with his recent health check), we can actually look, feel and have the body and mind of a much younger person if we adhere to a relatively healthy lifestyle.
Thanks Floydy, and I apologise for only just spotting this thread....
Can Exercise Reverse the Ageing Process?
Well I shelled out 200 quid earlier in the year for a complete medical assessment because I was getting worried about my performance while running out on the roads every other day. Something I've been doing for the last forty years.
Following a heart attack in 2004 I was wondering if my ageing old ticker had finally had enough and was calling time on my athletic pursuits....
What a surprise I got when the results dropped through my letterbox...
I had passed nearly all of the tests and it was declared that I had the fitness and body of a 53 year old....Not bad for a 69 year old.....
Furthermore, Following my heart attack back in 2004 it was decided that had I not been a runner for most of my adult life, it could have been fatal.....
After just a few weeks I was walking at least ten miles every day and returned to running just three months later and still manage over twenty miles per week....
So in answer to your question Carol........You tell me?...
