Fun-Extension with Optimum Exercise

Life-Extension says that anything that does not extend life past 120
years is a total waste of time. The fact that not one of them has
come remotely close to the age of 120, unfortunately doesn’t keep them
from bragging.

The only research that Life-Extensioners accept is Life-Extension
research. They totally ignore the vast majority of published research
in favor of their own kooky brand of research.

Life-Extension says that supplements are better than food because
calories have to be restricted by 30% rather than increased. Yet, the
vast majority of published research says that food is vastly superior
to taking supplements.

Life-Extension says that the value of exercise is a myth because it
generates Free Radicals and requires increased expenditure of energy.
CRONers think that the ideal life is a life totally without physical
effort, exertion, or exercise. Yet, the vast majority of published
research says that physical exercise is the universal cure all for all
that ails you. Further, research has proven conclusively that
high-intensity exercise is effective in preventing deaths from heart
disease, the number one killer, while moderate exercise is totally
ineffective.

As Jack LaLanne likes to say: People who eat a perfect diet, but don’t
exercise look absolutely terrible. 🙁

And, as ‘the Man’ now says: People who eat a crappy diet, take a ton
of supplements and don’t exercise really look like shit!

You sure are full of misinformation about what “CRONers” think. Statement
after statement in this post is either misinformed or greatly exaggerated.
Perhaps you are just trolling, eager to get an argument by knocking down a
straw man you have built yourself. Can’t speak for “Life-Extension”, since
I don’t know who or what that is, but the CRON people I am familar with do
not fit your idea of them.

Personally, I don’t have any problem with what you espouse in your “rules”
for natural health, including exercise. I follow most of them myself,
excepting the yoga classes, and I am a runner / walker / weight-lifter, all
more or less in moderation, myself. While CRON in animals seems to work
best for the life extension benefit when they don’t exercise much, most of
us humans want the obvious benefits that exercise brings. I think most
CRONers exercise.

BTW, the evidence I have seen actually shows that “moderate exercise” has a
substantial effect on health, as distinct from what you say here.
