I am my own boss. I spend around 2 hours a day six times a week at the gym doing aerobic and weight training. Also do exercises at home daily. I eat a whole food plant based diet with no ultraprocessed food. I am 75, female, and on no prescription medications. I am 5'9" and weigh 150 lbs. Hopefully, my life will be extended, but you just never know.
Yup, agree..I'm your age also and follow the same plan.. I want my "health span"
and my "life span" to end at the same time. Quick and painless I hope!!!
Me too, but 67. Started late but hoping it helps to extend my health span.
You are definitely adding life to your years! Thanks for the Inspiration.
Keep it up, MA’AM!
You would be a role model for many, thanks for sharing! 🙏
I have been doing the treadmill for about 8 years and it does help me stay in good shape. I am 72 right now, I tell everyone I do it for the cardio. Honestly, the main reason I do it is for my mental health. All those feel good chemicals all benefit me hugely! I am sticking with it!
I feel that too and it's so important! I'm 45 and I tell people that going walking or hiking isn't even about the exercise, it's about the way you feel afterwards. I tell people to focus on that feeling and compare it to how they feel after drinking coffee or having a good nap. Exercise itself feels like a pleasant drug, I think.
I'm glad my dogs keeps me active despite my long covid. I walk for at least 30 minutes a day.
It's always nice to see a confirmation of the efficacy of something one has been doing on his own. I would add the mental health benefits of getting out and taking part in the world that walking can afford one. If one walks a certain amount of steps per day outside, it has to be beneficial to their minds as well just seeing others and interacting in ever so small a way. Of course, when the weather permits, walking in the local state park or amongst trees has still added benefits!!!
Thanks as always for the continuous flow of valuable and solid information!
I think what we need to remember here is that this is relative to your current fitness level, and age. If you're an overweight couch potato, a few minutes at a slow pace can leave you exhausted. The very fit can jog at 6 mph for two hours and barely break a sweat.
Thanks for this Dr. I always fill so much better when I exercise daily even when I gotta drag myself to the gym that’s when I’m glad i went, plus I asleep better 😊
Thanks for sharing 👍😊
Been doing hardio cardio since 2009 & my knees recently started crying abt it
Daily barefoot grounding for 30 mins first thing in the morning has been a total game changer
I also do daily TRE 16/8 & 18/6 on occasion
My goal is to never need a prescription med. currently 53, plant based since 25, and regular exerciser except when work gets in the way
I love these podcasts!
I’d be curious to know the difference in physical activity levels between northern and southern latitudes. It appears, from personal observation, to be significantly less in climates that make outdoor exercise more difficult. Perhaps different protocols are called for rather than a blanket, one size fits all, approach.
Please do a video about electrolytes/sports drinks/sodium for runners and the like. ❤ I avoid salt but sweating a lot means you may need some extra salt, doesn’t it?
Thank you!
🌱🏃♂Thanks for good news about my good habits!🏃🌱

I tend to be sedentary but I walk about 1 a mile "plus" 6 days a week.I also do yoga stretches (sun salutation) kettle bells once a week and kettle bell squats.
I'm 70+ years old but But BUT I sit most of the time at my work.
I'm planning on getting one of those under desk elliptical devices. How long should I use the machine. 90 min like you mentioned?
Three sessions of 30 min/day? What do you think?
That's what I did when I wasn't able to do anything else. I did 30 minutes after each meal and it worked for me. When it comes to biking/pedaling you get more benefit the more resistance you use. I didn't use any resistance at all but still got benefits from the motion alone. As my condition improved I was able to dial it up.
@@dianeladico1769 tnx!! Which elliptical did you get?
What about Sprinting?
Haha good point. They see me sprintiiin, they trippiiin
I've been active and have no meds and mostly WFPB.
However, at 83, I am told that I have osteoarthritis and osteopenia!
The hip pain is noticeable. Now, I need to balance my activities and find it difficult.
How do I not irritate my hip or do something that contributes to a broken bone or fall and stay active.
No more jumping jack's. No running. No heavy weights. Leg presses 😢😮
Etc.
Many 80 plus have these problems. I wish we could get better advice!
Walking 150 minutes a week just isn't going to be enough, IMO!
Better than nothing? Of course.
@@darlenes520 check out Greysteel Strength about bone health.
look into heel bouncing without feet leaving ground can be done indoors
Can you pedal? I used and under-the-desk elliptical. No resistance at first. Would that work for you?
I follow functional movements by You Tube channel Will Harlow, a UK therapist for people over 50s. It's been a blessing!
If mostly WFPB includes dairy, experiment with going 100% and research foods that fight inflammation.
Can you please update your site/videos about oils..?
There is 'apparently' new data out now showing health benefits of consuming olive oil wjich outweigh the negative health effects..?
Can you please confirm or deny this new data..?
I was walking yesterday and badly slipped on ice
