This Type of Exercise Reverses Heart Aging, Lowers Blood Pressure, & Has Anti-Cancer Effects

Vigorous exercise (defined as more than 80% max heart rate) has unique benefits when it comes to heart aging, reducing blood pressure, and killing circulating tumor cells. In this video, expect to learn:

• The exercise protocol that reduced heart aging by 20 years in 50-year-olds
• Why vigorous aerobic exercise has drug-sized effects on blood pressure
• The brain health benefits of lactate generated during vigorous exercise
• Why vigorous-intensity workouts improve focus & attention
• Exercise protocols for maximizing levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor
• How the shear force of blood flow during exercise kills circulating tumor cells

Im 49 and workout 5 times week. Including weights, cardio (jump rope) and swim. I pray God gives me the will to maintain this for couple more decades at least.

[-MakeItGood-]

Started walking an 15 minutes every day 2 years ago and gradually ramped up to 2 hours a day and now I’m up to 30-45 minutes of cycling a day. Start slow and be consistent and never stop!

I have experienced this. My heart was never so healthy as when I did this type of exercise. I have since been away from this for a few years due to life but I am on a determined course back to it.

As someone who has a family history of cancer, this info could be a lifesaver for my family.

I love hearing all of this applicable information. I also find it maddening to share this with friends who suffer literally from all of the negative effects of being sedentary that you just stated while consuming a horrible diet, and to have them just nod and smile while doing nothing to change.

My grandma is 98 years old now and told me all of this stuff when I was a teenager. This was in 1985. Since then, I'm doing exercises every day, I feel great and my blood pressure is very good. Little lower, which is perfect.

I love this, exactly what the western world needs to hear right now. Moving our society from levels of sedentary and food addictions to healthy actions that absolutely beat developed world diseases.

I love these studies. I haven’t jogged more than 9ft in 9 years but have been doing HIIT the entire time since. I have never felt better.

[muratisik]

Wow, you’re really active on YouTube lately. Good to see you’re back.

[ritdog]

Well done Dr Patrick! Now more than ever we need this type of information front and center.

Thanks for this. At 79, I;ve been exercising for 43 years, mostly increasing the intensity for the first 20 years. These days, I do 15 to 19 miles on a bicycke in a park 3 or 4 times a week and occaisionally some minutes on a heavy bag. I have long suspected that my exercise is what causes my biometrics to be nearly perfect, years after year. I'm very glad that I discovered your channel about a week ago. Still learning,

I found my fitness with this beautiful woman. She saved my life. I think she just gets smarter and smarter daily. My blood work has improved huge. I am 70 now, I think I may have another 10-20 years.

For every study saying 1 thing there is another study saying the opposite. You don’t need to be a doctor to figure out everybody is different and exercise is good for everybody and depending on your age and condition, the exercise needs ls to be specific to your own situation. Very few people can physically do high intensity cardio. Use common sense and keep moving and eat healthy. Everybody is going to die, relax.

I’m glad I found this channel. I recently started rowing and the class does exactly what’s on her slide. 30-40 seconds of vigorous rowing followed by 20 seconds “rest” or light row. It’s been great.

Dr. Patrick has such a calming voice. Beautiful, intelligent, knowledgeable, kind, caring and uncompromising in her research!

4:13 what about exercised-induced hypertension causing *brain fog* The higher the intensity, the more lactate is build up, which disturbs the blood-brain barrier, especially in case of exercise-induced hypertension. Even short bouts of HIIT will cause transitoiry post-exercise brain fog and perceived central fatigue (with a duration between 4 to 36 hours in function of the duration and severity of the workout) in some individuals. I'm talking about lactate levels higher than 4 mmol/l and systolic blood pressure higher than 220 mmHg. My personal record: 14 mmol/l lactate and 260/120 mmHg at 350 W when I was a healthy young student doing a ramp exercise test of 50 W / 3 min increments on an calibrated stationary cycling ergometer. Lactate threshold was 190 W at the time. Vigourous exercise always triggers transitory post-exercise brain fog and some dizziness in my case, unfortunately.

I was beginning to ease up on my workouts.. time to notch it back up ..

[newmb]

im 90. I've been doing this for most of my life and my hr is 45. I still plan on going hard when im 115! I figure now is the time to lay the foundation for when I start to slow down.

[amarjeetchand]
