Please tell anybody OVER-65 in your life: Why you MUST try to WALK a lot

I love this quote:

Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far. The Europeans value themselves on having subdued the horse to the uses of man. But I doubt whether we have not lost more than we have gained by the use of this animal. No one has occasioned so much the degeneracy of the human body. An Indian goes on foot nearly as far in a day, for a long journey, as an enfeebled white does on his horse, and he will tire the best horses. There is no habit you will value so much as that of walking far without fatigue. I would advise you to take your exercise.

“Exercise May Be the Most Potent Medical Intervention Ever Known” – The Ringer

“I think of it as an intervention as a doctor. Exercise is just the single most important intervention you can think of for your health. There are plenty of other important ones. I’m sure we could talk about diet, we could talk about sleep, we could talk about other things. But I truly believe that nothing is more important among those than physical activity and exercise. And that there are deep-seated reasons within our human history to believe that that’s a reasonable assumption to make.”
