    Having competed in powerlifting for over 40 years and now in my 60s, I took a nasty fall on ice last year landing hard on my hip and wrist. No breaks or ligament damage, only a few bruises.

      This makes better argument for working out that anything I've heard before. Excess fat, low musculature, bad heart? You just die faster from a heart attack. Now avoiding getting broken bones when I know like 50% older women in my country break their hips in old age and never properly recover - now that's convincing.

    My 94 year old neighbor in my retirement park lifts weight 5 days a week, followed by 30 minutes of swimming non stop, and finishes with jacuzzi time. He walks tall and stable.

    I’m a 70 year old female who’s always been mildly active. I’d bike, workout with weights, run on the treadmill, etc but I was inconsistent. At age 63 I ended up with osteoporosis and a T-score of -4.1. Yeah, I was a crumbling mess waiting to happen and was put on a Prolia injection every 6 months so I started running more. But I started building back bone. 2 years ago I got serious about going to the gym and went 5 days a week because my progress of building bones slowed down. I lost a little weight because I was essentially doing more cardio but wasn’t building muscle during that time and my bone density progress improved but not by much. About 6 months ago I changed the intensity of my workouts and did more resistance training and started to see improvements in my body and muscles. Another thing I did was to change my nutrition habits. It wasn’t until I changed my diet as well as exercise before I started to feel things happening. I’m hoping this will lead to a step up in my improvements at my next bone scan (although I’ve already had a 34% gain in density since I started 7 years ago). So I’d love to see something on the effects of nutrition as well as exercise on bone health because I think it all has to work together but it can be done even at 70!

      Suggestion, as stated in the video, add a good quality collagen to your nutrition plan, Great Lakes Collagen is most effective, order it direct from the company to make sure you have a fresh product, also, suggestion maintain a two to four day a week workout schedule and intensify the resistance training, your body needs to recoup after workouts, you’ll have the greatest gains when your body is in recovery, it’s really not necessary or as effective as I’m learning, to workout every day, I’m in my 60’s and exercising to maintain strength and longevity 💪🏾

    I exercise a lot since a kid, having a very active life moving non stop. Now at , 70 walk many hours daily, hiking weekends, my bone density remain unchanged, still 5.4 height 110 weight, stable in decades. I felt 2 times in april, very badly during my late night walk, but no broken bone, still walk normally after the accidents and still able to hike the mountain on weekends. Except I suffered pain in the affected areas, knees, shoulder, arms, specially during the night in bed and long immobility, for months. I just recovered almost completely after about 6 months. Exercise is very crucial. At 70 I do almost everything daily, planking,walking, squatting, push ups, lunging, every single day, whenever I can during the days.
    Feeling strong, feeling good, feeling happy. I stopped telling people my age as it sounds sarcasm or like a joke. Give exercise a priority in your life to save you health troubles.

He lived alone basically in the middle of their farmland which his children eventually moved out of. And he did everything that other farmers and fishermen did, tilling and planting the fields, feeding fish and eventually harvesting them, etc. Once he stopped one of my aunts told me that he eventually started loosing strength at the end of his life. Still reached 100 years though. I can only imagine how strong his skeleton is at 97.

    I have been skateboarding for a little over a year. I'm almost 50 years old. My doctor told me to start exercising. Well I quickly became addicted to skateboarding. It has helped me. I'm surprised that I haven't broken any bones but this video has explained why.
    Skateboarding can be dangerous if you're overconfident but if you're taking safety precautions it can be really safe. I want my bones to be extremely strong so that when I fall hard the wrong way they won't break. I believe that by skateboarding I'm staying young. My goal is to have the body of a 25 year old or younger. And I want to be able to skate for 12 hours a day every day but I'm building up to that.
    After skating I feel "high". A much better high than any drug can give me.

Started lifting @ 14 for football and almost 38 years later never taken off more than 2 weeks from weights.

    Bone is such an interesting tissue. Until recently, I thought of bone as a sort of inert, hardened, senescent mass but have come to learn that it is one of the most dynamic and important tissues in the body. This video is a great introduction to the features of bone remodeling. The one thing I was hoping you would mention is the mechanism by which osteocytes sense mechanical strain through deformation of protein fibres in the extra cellular matrix and signal bone remodelling through sensing of that force. The mechanism that allows bone to sense loading and react to the stimuli is amazing and not fully understood yet.

      Agree! I first learned how amazing bone tissue is, when I was dealing with my teeth problem. Isn't it kinda like a miracle, that after tooth is removed, space left from tooth root gets filled with blood, which then turnes into bone? Or if you had infection in dead tooth, this infection dissolves bone tissue under tooth root, but after infection is killed - you are not left with a hole in yor jaw bone. No, bone tissue start to regenerate and fills the hole. And you may not even need to remove this dead tooth.
      So... bone tissue is AMAZING, Ilove it))

    I have osteoporosis and this has helped me determine treaent choices on how to build bone density. Often people confuse simple dexa scan numbers with better density, but there's so much more to consider on the quality of the density. In the future a video on osteoporosis would be awesome since most women all deal with it to some level and it can often be prevented before they fracture.

      You are incorrect that genetics have nothing to do with how long you may live. Genetics are very important as well as lifestyle you lead (environment also). You do know Alzheimer’s, diabetes, cancer and most autoimmune disorders are hereditary? Degenerative diseases are mostly hereditary. Just because you work out it won’t make you live long enough than those who are genetically more gifted. There are people who exercise and eat relatively healthy and still die at 40 or younger from cancer. It’s what you eat too. Living to 90 isn’t that rare. Most average Americans live up to 80s but the quality of life may not be as good as those in other countries who have better longevity. My grandmother died without being on any medication though she was near 110 years old. But my grandfather whose gene was not that great died 84 from cancer and died in a hospital. They both ate healthy food. Not obese. But my grandfather was exposed to certain chemicals maybe as he was a professional tailor. Those fabrics contain chemicals to deter bugs and such. And he was sitting quite a lot to make suits. He ate very healthy and quite disciplined. My grandmother was a midwife and a nurse, quite active. They both ate the same food mostly prepared at home. It’s the genetics and lifestyle that matter as lifestyle has ability to turn the on and off switch of those genes. If your grandparents didn’t smoke they could have lived longer with less medications. I don’t know any Americans who don’t take medications in later years either. Westerners are relatively unhealthy compared to most East Asians.

    Bone exercises: need to be consistent for long-term benefits [04:57]
    Compressive exercises: walking, running, jumping [07:03]
    Tensile exercises: resistance training (bicep curls) [07:18]
    Exercise intensity: moderate (6-12 reps) [10:33]
    Running vs. cycling: both good for bone density [11:16]
    Weight training: target all muscle groups [11:58]
    Bone remodeling: osteoblasts build, osteoclasts break down [12:27]
    Exercise: osteoblasts outpace osteoclasts = bone density up [12:56]

    This is super neat! I'm a mechanical engineer by field of study and a history guy by hobby and its interesting to see intersections between these fields! That spongy bone tissue looks has 0 obvious stress concentrations (weak areas where it is much more likely to fail) and looks a lot like what you get when you tell a CAD software (CREO eg) to make an optimal structure. The stress explanation for tension and compression is also exactly what you are taught in a statics or mechanics of materials course.
    It also reminds me of that skeleton from a medieval archer that had obviously thicker bones on one side of his body due to the tremendous stresses caused by drawing a longbow.

    Been doing martial arts for a very long time and part of the hardening of bones is definitely an incredible process! You can start with a simple bucket first put in something like beans not a hard and dense material yet and just begin to strike into the bucket fingers out and after the first month switch to something a bit harder such as smooth cheap fake marbles and as the bones get micro fracturing and then grow and adjust into it and in a few years you can literally slam your fingers into hardwood, gravel it's not for everyone but seek professionally practical instructors that won't be teaching you useless techniques.

    Im 56. Used to be a figure competition competitor in my terns and twenties. ( 13 blue ribbon s). I loved to move. Fast, strong, enduring- weights, running, gymnastics, goofing around climbing steps, exploring abilities, stretching, etc for years. Loved being out early morning before the world awike, on a movement adventure in the park or at the beach. Im 56 now. 10 years ago my doctor said I wasn't aging ( couldn't believe how strong and thick my bines work in X-ray) Im 5ft3in.
    I was at thst time going to the park and doing 42 minute self created hiit boot camp 3x a week. That included the breaks( 8 minutes total)then, fun stretching afterwards. Didn't take long but was so pretty out, I'd linger and move more or just rest under the trees.
    At my age I still don't get tired. I don't lift heavy like before but still challenge my muscles on purpose. I am rehabbing a broken toe, first break ever, from a week ago. The strength in my body ( quite a bit) crushed my ( next to pinky) toe that wrapped under my little foot and I heard the crack( thought it was completely crushed). Ugh. I was helping a much older woman from falling as I jumped up from my beach towel on the sand.
    Dr said it's a very clean break, will heal well and Ill be back aty routine 100 percent. I believe that. It brelike at the joint area. He said I did a great job! Lol.
    Also, note: work those gkutes, including the medial. I sprained my knee, first time ever, just taking a lateral step very gently. I hadn't been training glutes. My backside is not an issue for me and Im balsnced so I didn't keep up my formerly huge, strong gkutez as I aged. Mistake. Lesson learned. It's almost 100 percent healed knee, and I am doing my old fashioned leg lifts with bands and squats. I enjoy it very much. More variation when knee is fully recovered. I also use Incrediwear knee sleeve for the heaking( it has healing properties in it) check it out.
    I trsin as a discipline just like when I was younger. If people knew how many things can be ' fixed', relieved otlr avoided from a little discipline and a little knowledge. I stsrted exercise at 3 in gymnastics l, then in 25 sports teams in my youth, then in the gym at 15. Now my training lioks different but I respect it all the same for what it provides me. Find what you like to do and stsrt there! Watch yourself, your confidence and your strength, and yiyr bones grow!:) (note: you need to work up to decent resistance against those muscles and bones for them to stay/get strong.)
    Love you!

    • @CosmicLimaBeans
      @CosmicLimaBeans 2 года назад +2

      @@jayasmrmore3687 Answering because nobody has replied yet. From my understanding, GERD will be helped with exercise to a point. I.E. going on a jog or walk will help more than laying down or sitting on a couch. However, diminishing returns will happen quickly. Some exercises may make a patient feel GERD more, such as heavy squats or deadlifts (GERD should not be what stops you from a good exercise routine bear in mind, due to other mitigation methods below). Although, I find excersing (with the ones that can help) will not be enough for the majority of people. Dietary control and knowing what causes the GERD will vary from person to person. Most commonly greasy, spicey, or high acid food/drink. Timing can play a roll, like not eating before bed can help. Large meals can also worsen GERD. With dietary control and being physically active, if one may experience GERD still, it may be wise to seek pharmacological methods with the assistance of a family care doctor.
      An ideal scenario, a light walk after eating a meal that lacks grease, acid, or spice that is of low-moderate size. Not eating until "full".

    My grandparents do not do exercises specifically, but do insist on doing all their shopping by walking to the store (often a km or more away) and carrying everything back. They are both in their 80s now, and in excellent health. The concepts presented in this video are probably the reason why they are in such good health even when well into old age.
    This is also probably why grandparents that take an active part in raising the grandkids tend to be healthier. Taking care of kids is quite the physical exercise (especially running after hyperactive toddlers), and that constant everyday movement results in health.

      A lot of folks have been conditioned to believe that heavier weights are somehow more injurious. While you can definitely injure yourself lifting something outside your capabilities (strength and technique), it's completely overblown in my opinion. Slowly develop the technique to allow you to work into the heavier (more intense) weights and you'll be quite fine if you listen to your body. Progressively getting better at resistance training with appropriate intensity is the key to the positive body adaptions. A lot of folks can miss the intensity and end up with little results.
      I wish I could get my 71 year old mother to start resistance training. So many benefits for such a small investment.

I only work part time so I have enough money for my hobbies: Bouldering, Running, Gaming on Sony PlayStation and Nintendo Switch (when our house burns down, I can't lose those games, I own them in the cloud). Life is beautiful nowadays, why would I waste it at work. I only buy cloths when I really need them, mostly cheap.
    You can eat healthy for 5 bucks a day (coffee included). It's easy: stick to things that have only 1 ingredient, but no isolates like sugars and oils (you can throw them together obviously for a meal)
    I consider whole grain pasta to be healthy, but you should have them split up in to maximum 2 meals a day. Other than that I eat oats, nuts and vegetables. Only drink water, coffee, and tea without additives. If you're vegan have your vit.B12 and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids (chia seeds, walnuts), maybe vit.D if you're a nightshift worker or not out in the sun much, and you're good. Once in a while if you have an easier day try to eat nothing for that day. I'm 40 years old, athletic, everyone thinks I'm much younger. Take good care of your bodies folks 💟🌌☮️

      John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
      John 3:16
      For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
      James 2:17-18
      In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
      18
      But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.
      Acts 17:30
      In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.
      2 Timothy 2:19
      Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”
      John 3:5-7
      Jesus answered, “Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I told you,
      'You must be born from above. '
      (All humans have sinned except for the Holy Son of God that have lived a human form and became the sacrifice for the sins of those who believe in him. And also those who believe should repent, turn away from there sins and shall change into more like him.
      And everyone who follow Christ should be born again, that means you should change the way of your life and be born again.)
      I will spam this to comments sections so that many will know about Gospel and please read it.

    True, I'm training MMA my whole life ever since I was 8 years old and I can recall the most recent nasty fall when I was 21 and running to turn the stove off. I slipped on varnished parquet because my mother sprayed her hair with hair spray there and I was wearing cotton socks. I dropped like a plank directly on my left hip with all 120 kilos at that time (with the height of 188 cm, which is why falling from a standing stance is scary to me). I only received a small, deep bruise which I couldn't even see. Never broke a bone in my life despite many scary situations.

      I remember falling off a nasty deep trench while running, carrying hiking gear, and landing with only one foot taking most of the energy. I could feel that it was nearing it's breaking point but didn't. Thank god I started weightlifting, running, and not skipping leg day for more than a year at that point. I would've probably broken my Tibia and I was not in a position in my life to break anything at all.

      Lmao I do Muay Thai and I was doing a round kick in the air on waxed wooden floors with cotton socks on. Didn’t even go that hard and I slipped on my right hip bone. I only got a bruise and no broken bones, and I think it was because I do heavy squats (2x bodyweight) once every week. My shins probably got harder from lifting too, so it’s perfect for when I go all out kicking the heavy bag and not worry about a Conor McGregor incident

      Sounds like you were in pretty good shape to deal with it. I didn't do much more than jog at the time I slipped on a sheet of ice and landed on my shoulder, to this day almost 7 years later if I stop working out with consistency my shoulder will hurt really bad if I do anything that even approaches rigorous activity.

    Anatomy is so fascinating. The body is so well designed. Biology and a dash of engineering and chemistry. Natures motto is definitely improvise, adapt and overcome.
