Exercise, Nutrition, and Longevity | Health | Epoch Times: "Satchel Paige, the great black pitcher, has been quoted as saying, “avoid running at all times.” Most people seem to exercise less as they grow older. Until recently, most older persons were expected to “act their age.”
Now everyone is encouraged to exercise. The reason given for exercising is that it will increase longevity. This is only true in a limited way because it modifies disease processes, notably that of cardiovascular disease.
There is simply no evidence that exercise is capable of influencing the fundamental aging processes or to increase lifespan."
