Exercise & Movement

Why it Matters: Regular movement maintains cardiovascular health, muscular strength, balance, and metabolic efficiency all of which decline rapidly without use. Exercise is consistently shown to reduce the risk of nearly every major chronic disease, while also improving mental health and cognitive function. It is arguably the most powerful, accessible, and cost-effective longevity intervention.

• Aerobic fitness improves VO₂ max, a key predictor of lifespan and healthspan.
• Resistance training preserves lean muscle mass, preventing frailty and sarcopenia.
• Strength & balance reduce fall risk, a leading cause of death in older adults.
