Adults over 85 who walk for just 10 minutes per day could live longer

  • Physical activity can slow the aging process and is associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality in older adults.
  • Conversely, chronic illness and age-related changes in exercise capacity can hinder the ability of older individuals to achieve the recommended physical activity levels.
  • A new study involving individuals ages 85 years and older shows that walking at least 1 hour per week could reduce the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
  • The results are consistent with current physical activity guidelines that recommend that older individuals unable to engage in moderate-intensity physical exercise should engage in physical activity as permitted by their abilities.

Dr. Campbell’s 8 Principles of Food and Health

The profound health benefits of dietary lifestyle change have never been more achievable. In The China Study, Dr. Campbell outlined eight principles of food, health, and disease. Those eight principles remain just as relevant today. According to Dr. Campbell, they should inform how we conduct science, treat and prevent disease, feed ourselves, and think about health more broadly, including how we perceive the world.

  • Principle #1: Nutrition represents the combined activities of countless food substances. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
  • Principle #2: Vitamin supplements are not a panacea for good health.
  • Principle #3: There are virtually no nutrients in animal-based foods that are not better provided by plants.
  • Principle #4: Genes do not determine disease on their own. Genes function only by being activated or expressed, and nutrition plays a critical role in determining which genes, good and bad, are expressed.
  • Principle #5: Nutrition can substantially control the adverse effects of noxious chemicals.
  • Principle #6: The same nutrition that prevents disease in its early stages (before diagnosis) can also halt or reverse disease in its later stages (after diagnosis).
  • Principle #7: Nutrition that is truly beneficial for one chronic disease will support health across the board.
  • Principle #8: Good nutrition creates health in all areas of our existence. All parts are interconnected.

It’s been 7 years since this article was originally published, and it’s a good time to make some additions. I stand by what I wrote in 2015, 2005, 1990, 1982, and 1978, and I stand by what Aristotle and Hippocrates said more than 2,000 years before me. But our world is going through a rough time and, from my perspective, this information is more apt now than ever. – Dr. Campbell
