Nutrition versus exercise
Nutrition versus exercise.
Another thing that I started to realize after medical school is that nutrition is much more important than exercise. If a person really knows what is the best things to eat and limits their calorie intake to what is necessary to fuel their daily activities, so that they never over eat, then they will be healthier than the person who exercises. The organs are in their healthiest condition during formation, embryogenesis, and as infants and children. They have not been damaged by poor nutrition or even exercise. Exercise damages the muscles, although it makes us feel more fit. The stress on the muscles, tendons, bones, and ligaments actually damages the cells. Weight training actually rips the muscles and injures them, especially when done with heavy weights.
There might be a minimal amount of exercise that does not do too much damage, however nutrition is far more important to maintaining health and being fit. If anything walking is more than enough exercise and does the least amount of damage.
I am sure that nutrition is much more important for a long life rather than exercise.
