No, the real point of the thread is to give yourself an excuse for your usual grandstanding, the one thing you're an expert in.
You should join, you and Maddog could then expand your online affair much quicker.

Nah it's okay, I'll leave him to it.

How is promoting the health recommendations of experts, grandstanding?

Nice chicken curry Indian style last night and then drank half a bottle of whisky. (14 units)

The Norwegian 4 x 4 sucks, buy is kinda the gold standard..

But like she tells Chris, it's not really necessary. You do need to get uncomfortable for short bursts on regular basis. VO2 max levels are right there with strength when determining longevity..

This is a long video, but just watch the intro at least, which is less than 2 minutes..

I would definitely be incorporating this into my life if I lived in a cooler climate. I think that's why its so popular in Scandinavia..

Depends on your interpretation of 'much'.

Meh, I'm ignoring my chronological age now anyway..

I'm taking Mr Eastwoods advice and "not letting the old man in"..

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

Age shouldn't dictate how you act or feel.
Health, physical and mental is what matters. I know some 40 year olds who are ancient, and some 70 year olds who are young.

I don't disagree..That's what this whole thread is about. Actions we can all take to battle the onset of age, and how to live more actively inspite of it..

I'm not sure about statins, but it's pretty obvious that the western world is in increasing poor health requiring pharmacological intervention to keep us functioning and alive..

After all you've posted about being healthy you've fallen hook line and sinker for the pharmacological intervention line!

You're also taking advice that says don't let the old man in which to me says you'd rather have the old man as a stalker constantly following close behind making you somewhat paranoid instead of graciously letting him in and living accordingly.

You'll be dead before me mate!

Nothing I have posted is about pharmacological intervention.

It is about things that can lessen the need for it.

These are all things that can be done outside of that realm.

Don't do any of them. I don't care.

As for not letting the old man in, it's a famous quote by Eastwood when they asked him about his longevity.

I don't care if you like his quote either..👍

It's good you don't care about some voice on the internet criticising what you say but you have to admit you say an awful lot about yourself on the internet so people are going to respond.

While you pretend the old man hasn't been and isn't creeping into your life do you go around wearing young mans clothes to convince yourself he's years away yet?

Weight gain is not always about eating too much cheese burgers. My friend (ahem) is in their early 40's and prior to being forty was used to being 7 and a half stone without having to watch what they eat. They got covid and the week after I guess karma came knocking. No more dairy allowed. The nurse told her it had happened to a few people. Pounds started piling on despite her eating far less kcal than b4 and she started intensive training on her exercise bike. Thankfully the weight gain stopped shy of 9 stone, her weight is fine for her height but she has to maintain a strict vegan diet. She really misses coffee with cream. Anyhoo I digress. Weight gain isn't always binge eating fast food , sometimes metabolic changes happen akin to a side effect of an illness. The less she eat and the more she trained the more pounds she put on! Covid was a chemical weapon imo, our neighbour lost the ability to walk and needed intensive rehab. Just reminding u that ppl CAN gain weight through no fault of their own.

Are you suggesting that despite all this health talk MD's getting fat?

I thought he looked it in the pics but not to bad for a yank of his age.
