That's a difference of a quarter of a century.
Well, let me talk to the 66-year-olds out there because there was a paper published yesterday of an 81-year-old man in Spain who did not exercise until he was 66.
He took exercise off when he was 66 and he started to compete in endurance races when he was 70.
He's now 81 and he broke the world record for the 50K, running at 10.5 kilometres an hour for four hours and 50 minutes.
When they took him into the lab, they measured his VO2 max, his aerobic capacity,
He ranks in the top 30% for a 20 to 30 year old.
He can pump out 15 litres of blood per minute.
His muscles, his organ systems are that of a 30 to 40 year old.
So here's a 66 year old man who did nothing until he was 66.
And now at 81, he has seen the same adaptations that we would see if he were a 20 year old.
Brendan, it's never too late.
That's the message there.
Yes.
I think there's a few things that we have to think about as we age.
The first and most important one is that we have a decreased appetite as we age.
We get hungry less often and we feel full more quickly because of changes in our hormones.
Really?
Yes, believe it or not.
There are certain hormones like ghrelin that tells us we're hungry.
We have reduced levels of those.
