Saturated Fat and Coronary Heart Disease, Part II: The #Paleo Principle - http://su.pr/1wD8Xu 12 days ago
 

By the Numbers

Posted Nov 17 2008 9:21pm

If you read Art De Vany as I do, you know he rejects most everything most everyone thinks they know with respect to eating and exercise. He's not a kook, either. Here's the 70-year-old putting his numbers up against 28-year-old athletes.

In that spirit, I wanted to compare my body mass, strength, lipid and hormone profile to the 28 year old experienced weight trainers studied in the NJM article I discussed earlier this week. I want to show that the conventional wisdom that aging causes a decline in muscle mass, increased obesity, a fall in testosterone, and an unfavorable alteration of blood lipids is not true. So, what are the relevant facts?

See for yourself.

In a subsequent post, he linked to this interesting Men's Health article, Death By Exercise.
