We are all ageing.

We all lose strength & bone 🦴 mineral density as part of the ageing process. 

We are all ageing. 

We will die eventually. Nobody gets out of life, Alive. 

I hypothesise that there is a direct observable CAUSE & EFFECT relationship between a person’s MOBILITY & MUSCLE 💪 BUILD & STRENGTH.

My understanding is that There is a 1% decrease in strength every year after the age of 25, more so in females than in males. By the age of 60 you would have lost > 30% of your strength and bone mineral density (oesroporosis). 

This is largely a preventable cause. 

My tip: do weight training (progressive)to “off-set the on-set “ of ageing. We are depreciating but the depreciation rate affects the “effective useful life of the non-current asset”(accounting terminology and analogy) from my 10 years as An Accountant/Business Consultant.

Every person has a body they are inhabiting that depreciates/ages at a different rate. Some faster than others. You come across individuals that look and behave older than their respective age.

Combined with a suitably balanced nutrition plan to suit you (age, activity level, body type etc), cardio exercise & a flexibility program, you can slow down the ageing/depreciation rate.

This would have a positive flow-on effect on the life that you’re living. 

For example, the risk of living your retirement years with high susceptibility to fractures and breaks of Bones 🦴 would drop significantly. 

The risk of Experiencing severe mobility issues that restrict the scope of your activities will increase. These can have severe consequences on a person’s health. 

It could contribute to rising mental illness rates leading to suicide, dementia etc.

He regrets not being made aware of the benefits of weight training & soon something preventative in his early life 

It affects your mental state

Ultimately, it (immobility) affects your mental state and put you into a negative mindset. Over 25% of the aged population who have hip surgery due to falls die within a year. That’s great for doctors and surgeon’s pockets and lifestyle but disastrous for the poor individual 

Change in habits now – begin the workouts you’ve been putting off and start eating 🍽 more balanced meals. 

Your activity levels will have a significant impact on the QUALITY of your life, not just your length of life.

It’s never too late to start. 

So… start… Just DO IT (love this original Nike slogan)

Life is about choices. Choose well.

It’s your ONE ☝️ LIFE after all (unless you have 9 lives like a cat 🐱… meow!!)

Cheers 🍻 & ahoy!
