Does anything really work to stay young after 70? What does science say?

This should be taken with a grain of salt!

Cum grano salis!

Exercise!

Say 30 min per day. Walking leisurely and, if possible, a bit more strenuous.

Some weight-lifting if not too much boring!

Exercise is by FAR the best predictor of healthy longevity.

Far above achieving normal weight; dropping smoking, drinking, drugs.

If you're already not exercising before you start and after you start it becomes more and more addictive.

Finally, the MYTH: it helps in reducing weight (key point and absolutely necessary) but not due to kilocalories spent. It's next to impossible to loose weight by just exercising.
