…and then you drop at 57 for something nobody could see coming. 😁 You pick which immunodeficiency, neurodegenerative or oncological problem.
1000 push-ups a day ain’t gonna save you from dementia.
Then again, people are living well into their nineties…but given what I’ve seen, I’m not so sure they feel better, regardless of their exercise regime, past or present.
Wow, this is so true. I’m going to stop maintaining my relationships because anyone I know could get hit by a bus tomorrow. I’m also done with that stupid coursework, because what if I suffer a catastrophic brain injury that makes me forget everything I learned? I’m going to go rob a bank because the police could come and frame me for murder any day now. And I think I’m going to go jump off a cliff because death comes for us all anyway.

Maybe not excessive pushups specifically, but healthy food and sane amounts of exercise HAVE been shown to decrease the risk or lessen the severity of aging related diseases, most cancers, and more.
It’s not a panacea and sometimes you still get the shit sandwich of unpreventable disease or accidents or whatever, but treating your body and brain like you want to keep them ABSOLUTELY makes you more resilient towards all sorts of unforeseeable maladies.
The actual payoff is that it makes you feel better and keeps you feeling better for longer.
