Exercise, good food, and good sleep. Pretty much the universal panacea.
- thordenmark 2y agoSounds easy, but difficult in practice. Especially for those of us chained to a desk all day.
- hi-v-rocknroll 2y agoFor disabled and elderly people, these aren't always possible.
- BobaFloutist 2y agoAppropriate exercise is all the more important for disabled and elderly people.
- OutOfHere 2y agoMild to moderate exercise won't fix it, but intense exercise, e.g. running or similar, carries hope. Good sleep will slow the damage, but after a certain age, e.g. 80, it may not work.
- aussieguy1234 2y agoWhat about a hard workout with weights every day?
- OutOfHere 2y agoI have tried it in this context, but no, I'm sorry. Only running and similar intense cardio exercises had an applicable effect for me. That's not to say that other exercises are useless; obviously they're not, but the other exercises didn't help this particular issue for me.
- manmal 2y agoThat might set you up for overtraining. If your ability to regenerate is good/fast enough, it might work. Measuring heart rate variability is a good indicator for when you’re ready for more exercise.
- hinkley 2y agoCardio specifically, right?
- halfcat 2y agoAll of it is ultimately needed. Cardio, yes, but resistance training is also needed to maintain muscle mass, and maybe even more important as we age, bone density.
