We're keeping bodies breathing for an extra twelve years, but too many of those years are spent in a silent, medicalized compromise. We've mastered the art of lingering, but we have lost the architecture of living well.
A study of 25,000 adults in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology proved this decline isn't inevitable. Simple, midlife aerobic fitness delayed the arrival of serious illness and bought back two full years of vibrant health.
The people who beat the gap weren't running marathons. They were walking briskly most days. They refused to let the machinery rust.
