♥️ Heart Day I've always believed in spending time in Zone 3 (~75% max heart rate) for optimal cardio. @foundmyfitness spotlights Dr. Benjamin Levine's 2018 study where sedentary ~50 year-olds reversed 20 years of heart aging in just 2 years via vigorous exercise. 👇

💪 Fitness Day Top 2% on the @onepeloton leaderboard today! I don’t look forward to indoor biking in the winter. My latest trick is the Mel Robbins 5 second rule: 54321 GO! I start pedaling. Leaderboard goes live. I’m in compete mode. Give it a try next time you need a push!

Been off the grid for a bit. My path forward is about living big and aging well. Lately, SM hasn't helped with that. “All this arguing is aggravating.” 👇 Minnesota has been my home my entire life. It’s sad to watch our once-great state struggling right now. Those watching

Two years of structured, vigorous exercise reversed about 20 years of age-related structural changes in the hearts of sedentary 50-year-olds Under Dr. Ben Levine’s protocol, participants gradually built up to 5–6 hours/week of training, including Norwegian 4x4 intervals,

A common obstacle for men over 50? Restrictions from injuries and aches. Stationary biking shines here for Zone 3 work: 1. Joint-friendly 2. Controlled motion 3. Zero risk of falls or collisions 4. Super time-efficient I'm a fan of @onepeloton. The leaderboard drives me to push

💪 FitnessDay There are ~20M pickleball players in the US! ~4M are men over 50. I've been holding out, but I think it's time to give it a spin. 🤔 @DavidPerlmutter has a great blog on injury rates and prevention tips. 👇 Interestingly, these tips apply universally to any new
One of the hardest things I’ve had to accept is that I am not invincible when it comes to sports. Pickleball is fun, and I picked it up as a hobby a few years ago. But the injury data tell an important story, especially for older players. Know the risks before you play:

🍎 Nutrition Day Men over 50, Microplastics are a growing health threat. Research shows they fuel heart disease and disrupt hormones, hitting testosterone, libido, ED, and prostate health. @fmfclips has some great mitigation tips 👇 Bonus tip: If you're in a condo, rental, or
Plastic is everywhere, but you can eliminate the worst offenders • Don't drink out of plastic water bottles • Get a water filter at home (reverse osmosis) • Avoid heating plastic • Don't drink out of to-go coffee cup • Don't eat things out of single-use plastic containers

🎂 Longevity Day Happy New Year! 🎉 Was offline for a few days. A new week, a new breakthrough! Cartridge regrowth and Arthritis prevention: By blocking a protein linked to aging, along with cell reprogramming, cartilage can be restored. 🤯 @agingdoc1 explains it better 👇

💪 Fitness Day Active vs. inactive at age 70+ after just 1 yr. The difference is staggering. Poorer physical function dramatically raises the risk of disability from falls or other issues. I'd wager the inactive group is 10x more likely to hit that disability threshold sooner.
A Sliding Doors Moment for Ageing Well One small choice today can completely change how your body works a year from now. Science backs this 👇 • A 2023 study followed adults in their early 70s for 12 months • Same starting health • One key difference: exercise vs inactivity

🍽️ Nutrition Day Men over 50: Make sure you're getting enough Vitamin D. 🌞 As we age, our skin produces ~4x less by our 70s than it did in our 20s. For us in the north, winter = shorter days, more clouds, less time outside. 🥶 Consider supps this time of year. Deep dive 👇
The Longevity Benefits of Vitamin D (00:30) Vitamin is much more than a vitamin; it gets converted into a steroid hormone & regulates >5% of the protein-encoding human genome. It turns genes on & off in a coordinated fashion, influencing everything from brain to immune function.

🎂 Longevity Day Well stated @drmarkhyman It’s never too late to start living well. LFG!
Send this to someone you’re on your health journey with. Every meal, every workout, every night’s sleep—it’s all building the future you. What you do now, in your 20s, 30s, and even 50s, shapes the health you’ll experience in the decades to come. To understand why the choices

💤 Day ~10 years sooner on an 80 year lifespan due to poor sleep. 😳
A recent study reveals sleep deprivation is a stronger predictor of lifespan than poor diet or lack of exercise. Sleeping ≤6 hours reduces lifespan by 13%. Prioritize sleep; it's a non-negotiable biological necessity. #SleepScience #Longevity

What a legend! 💪 Nice find @dallasdingle
This was what running through Golden Gate Park looked like at 99. In San Francisco in 1966, Larry Lewis ran six miles every morning, rain or shine, while the city was still asleep. Lewis later worked as a waiter at the St. Francis Hotel and remained active well past 100. On his
