As someone who conducts research in this realm for a living, what study are you referring to?Fyi... Contrary to very popular belief, body joints, backs and pretty much every other body part don't wear out and break down like car parts. A long term (e.g., 30 year) study indicated lack of use, trauma (auto accident, etc.) and diet cause them to wear out and break down over time.
. And by far, it's dietary issues.
Really, so theoretically we could all live forever and be in peak biomechanical condition at 500?Fyi... Contrary to very popular belief, body joints, backs and pretty much every other body part don't wear out and break down like car parts
Whatever "research" Mavonorder is referring to, they are either taking it out of context or my sarcasm meter is off.
No one knows...ask Methuselah
. Some "real experts" on nutrition think 140 or 150 is totally possible, and not all decrepit either. I believe them.
Let us know when you hit 110 and still feeling spry! I think old Methusela made it to 900 something. He must have eaten incredibly clean.No one knows...ask Methuselah
Funny you should say this, the first podcast I saw which really opened my eyes to eating healthy was from a website called something like "live to 110". Was life changing.
I didn't read the study...a local news channel reported it 6 or 7 years ago and I didn't give it much thought at the time, other than just before I heard the story, I was contemplating buying a vehicle with a stick shift in 2016 and thinking this may be my last chance to drive a stick before my knees wore out and couldn't handle the manual clutch. I didn't buy
To get back on topic, I really like my EB Mav now that I used it to tow 3,900 lbs for the first time! My trip consisted of a 7 mile round trip launching a pontoon boat and it did GREAT! Now I can drive to use my boat and not spend $120 in gas ($55 for the Mav) just to reach the boat! Nothing on the market comes close to the utility of the EB or the EV Mav.... and that's a plain fact.
Exactly what I thought. FWIW, one of my MS' is in nutritional science and my PhD is related to this, I conduct health science research (primarily metabolic) and oversee a metabolic health program for a large medical facility - my life revolves around lifestyle as medicine. I have no idea what you are talking about, but the premise absolutely is not correct. You can certainly do yourself a ton of help in this regard with nutrition and activity, but age is the greatest risk factor for virtually every musculoskeletal issue regardless. This is one of the reasons why there is so much current interest in molecules believed to regulate the aging process (sirtuins, NAD+). For just one example, no matter how "healthy" your lifestyle, by age 60 >90% of people will show some disc degeneration and it is essentially 100% by 65- zilch you can do about it. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-84724-6With all your training and expertise, then you know all about oxalates and lectins...right?
I am so upset with the Maverick that 3 months, 5K flawless miles later, as soon as the 2023 orders open up (in a bit over two weeks from now) we will order a SECOND Hybrid Maverick.
I'm sure you read Steven Gundry's "Plant Paradox" and now lectins and oxalates are evil...it isn't that simple. It also has little to do with your original post. If you want to discuss the human body, diet, metabolism, aging, etc. any further, feel free to send me a private message.
I keep waffling on whether I'm gonna keep my 4K EB Mav or upgrade to a 2023 hybrid Mav. I just can't decide if the trade-off in towing cap is worth the small increase in MPG. My usage is around 60% highway and 40% city. Can't make up my mind. Frustrating!
I agree ... I missed out on ordering the MY22 and look forward to ordering a MY23. This group has been more than helpful with continuous informative posts on both the positive and negative aspects of the first year Maverick. I have learned a great deal and have made some of the decisions toward the MY23 based on the posts on this group.
