Running Eases Aging

The closest thing we have to the Fountain of Youth is exercise. Scientific research has found that running eases the aches of aging. This study tracked people over the age of 50 and found that those who ran about 4 hours a week were able to delay the effects of aging by about 16 years.

I believe the best form of exercise to keep you young is weight training. It’ll help maintain muscle mass and bone density as we get older. Running and cardio exercise is great but, hitting the weights is probably the best bet for staying young. Of course, you can lift weights and do cardio. In that case, you might live forever.
