We know that exercise can help you live longer but follow the advice here and you may find that it will also help you stay young   While explorers and scientists have long searched for the fountain of youth, it turns out that it’s been in front of us all along—exercise. There are countless studies that confirm frequent physical activity can help reduce the risk of certain diseases and prevent some of the problems that come with age. But can exercise go even further, and simply prevent us from ageing at all? In some ways, it can, but we have to focus on specific types of training. Here we explain what they are.

To look around at all the health articles, tips, tricks, listicles and books, you’d think health was an extraordinarily complicated matter—and must arise from some elusive combination of interval training, crossword puzzles, and avocados. But it’s not actually that complicated. In fact, what science knows to contribute to health is just a simple handful of things: We should exercise, eat well, sleep enough, avoid toxins, and take care of our mental health. All the other bits of advice generally fall within these five categories. Of course, there are some things that are outside of our control, like genetic predisposition and autoimmune disease. But of the part that we do have control over, the behaviors that define health aren’t all that complex. And it’s why public health experts are so frustrated with all the extraneous and needlessly complicated information floating around these days. “There are so many false narratives today (fake health news) that people genuinely are confused,” says David L. Katz, founding director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University and the True Health Initiative. Some people may not know what to do, and others, even if they know what to do, may not have the means to do […]
