I looked after my elderly Mum during the last 5 years of her life. When she died I was 55 years old and decided to take control of my own health before I became unwell. I joined a gym with exercise classes even though I thought I hated exercise. It was so surprising to me that I became motivated to improve my diet as well as exercise. I made friends at the classes too. I think the classes should be prescribed by doctors

Great lecture! - I deal with older patients all day and many have not taken care of themselves and their quality of life sucks. They need to hear this message at a young age so that their quality of life is better in old age. Very well done!

The VERY BEST kind of exercise...is the kind you DO!

There are three main takeaways here: Make sure you exercise regularly, consistently and longitudinally, practice good nutrition (educate yourself from credible sources) and try to get enough sleep... oh and make sure you exercise enough.

Whoa ... I cannot believe I couldn't even see the commercial through my tears and then he said the first time he watched it he cried! I'm only crying because I'm thinking of my dear sister Eva in the nursing home.

My exercise is about 90 minutes brisk walking in the fields each day - about 5 miles. I don’t slow down on the hills and don’t seem to get out of breath. About 13 or 14 thousand steps. This means I reach the official 150 minutes in two days and do the same thing for the other 5! I missed 26 days since Feb 2020 due to weather. None of this is particularly difficult and I do my best thinking while walking.
What is the effect? Blood pressure 117/72 this morning. Rest heart rate 54 bpm. Blood oxygen (SpO2) 98%. BMI 22.7. No medications at all. Sleep 7 to 8 hours.
I did some courses on mindfulness a few years ago, and learned that stress isn’t a thing - you can mentally turn it off!
But I don’t seem to fit on the curves anywhere - I am 77 years old!

We must keep moving. I need to do today what I could do yesterday.
At 70 I still work. I'm a builder. If I take a week off I will have muscle pain when I start work again. No doubt I can not do the hours I once did. I have no plans to retire... Just slow down.... Inevitably...

Excellent presentation! Thanks for posting.

Frankly? Purge people from your life that denigrate your healthy habits or lifestyle. You'd be amazed at how many people out there want to drag you down.

It always comes back to two simple things...1. Eat healthy 2. Exercise. Think about how many health professionals help you achieve success in those two areas. Our healthcare system is broken.

Gravity became my friend through sports and 50 yrs of weightlifting. The mind talks but the body knows I learned this early 13 yrs old and never stopped lifting. now 68 years old, looking back, my strength physical, confidence, discipline, patience, insight, vision, respect and most of all success through failure..there is always another plate. lets look, no doctors since my basketball scholarship in Canada 1967. I moved to Hawaii for 20 yrs, got healthier stronger larger, power lifting & Basketball, good food and smoking pot now 55 years. Results no illness, no doctors, no hospitals, no medication only meditation. No surgery, no problems. Life is great when you know what your doing. You are what you do, not what you say. My girls daughters Cross-fit Champions, early thirties. Still work train teach others private studio gym where I create champions. Personally I still punch heavy bag daily 15-25 minutes every day. Gravity is who you are. Food and sleep is next, be your own doctor, smoke pot.

The key is an emphasis on the positive social determinants of health and have that knowledge universally available.

I believe I have known for quite a while that when I am doing something, work or play .. I'm not thinking!!!
