25. The Importance Of Exercise The mortality gap between a smoker and non-smoker: 40%. The mortality gap between the bottom 25% of exercise fitness and top 2%: 400% The best marketing minds of their generation created anti-smoking ads -- where are the pro exercise ads?

Dose-response associations between accelerometry measured physical activity and sedentary time and all cause mortality: systematic review and harmonised meta-analysis

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6699591/

Discussion

Higher levels of total physical activity at any intensity and less time spent sedentary are associated with a substantially reduced risk for premature mortality, with evidence of a non-linear dose-response pattern in middle aged and older adults. Our observations on the associations between accelerometry measured physical activity or sedentary time and all cause mortality provide important data for informing public health recommendations. Firstly, they reinforce the non-linear, dose-response relation but with considerably larger effect sizes than in studies using self reports. Secondly, the total volume of physical activity, irrespective of intensity, is associated with a substantially reduced risk of death during follow-up. Thirdly, the greatest risk reduction for mortality was observed when the second quarter was compared with the referent, for all activity intensities. Fourthly, maximal risk reductions were seen at about 375 min/day of light intensity physical activity or 24 min/day of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity. Fifthly, a statistically significantly higher risk of death was observed from 9.5 or more hours per day for time spent sedentary.

The Link Between Physical Activity and Morbidity and Mortality

https://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/sgr/mm.htm

How Physical Activity Impacts Health

Regular physical activity that is performed on most days of the week reduces the risk of developing or dying from some of the leading causes of illness and death in the United States. Regular physical activity improves health in the following ways:

  • Reduces the risk of dying prematurely.
  • Reduces the risk of dying prematurely from heart disease.
  • Reduces the risk of developing diabetes.
  • Reduces the risk of developing high blood pressure.
  • Helps reduce blood pressure in people who already have high blood pressure.
  • Reduces the risk of developing colon cancer.
  • Reduces feelings of depression and anxiety.
  • Helps control weight.
  • Helps build and maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints.
  • Helps older adults become stronger and better able to move about without falling.
  • Promotes psychological well-being.


Health Burdens that Could Be Reduced Through Physical Activity

Millions of Americans suffer from illnesses that can be prevented or improved through regular physical activity.

  • 13.5 million people have coronary heart disease.
  • 1.5 million people suffer from a heart attack in a given year.
  • 8 million people have adult-onset (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes.
  • 95,000 people are newly diagnosed with colon cancer each year.
  • 250,000 people suffer from a hip fractures each year.
  • 50 million people have high blood pressure.
  • Over 60 million people (a third of the population) are overweight.

I do extremely intense/vigorous exercising/strength training at The Pit Barbell Club 2 times a month.

Also use the Jacobs Ladder for 35 minutes, 2-4 times/month. With legs only because I need a right shoulder replacement (and had numerous surgeries, including 5 to my left elbow) and have to sparingly use/limit my shoulders/upper body for activities.

Here is the item that everybody can and should be using if they want to make the biggest, easiest and most effective way to boost their health and longevity.

The one below is actually the one that I bought for less than $100. There are dozens of others. I close the hand slots and keep my head inside and zipped up which helps to block steam from getting out (makes is more intense) but it allows me to inhale the steam with great benefits by itself.

 Not theoretical benefits but numerous benefits that I experience IMMEDIATELY that last for a couple of days.
