I take copious amounts of vitamin D as prescribed by a G.P due to a serious deficiency(Don't know who He or She are cos I never get to visit them,it's like a secret santa)... But anyway,as you've probably realised, it certainly does boost your brain
I have the intelligence not to buy the paper copy of the HDM...I'll say no more as I wouldn't want it to come between us
I must have more than intelligence as Mrs Two buys me it. As for a brain for myself, one day, maybe. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wellnes...tness-level-age-indicator-diy-exercises.html# Semi-decent article in the DM (finally! Most online main media sources are terrible, the Guardian being one of the worst for magical quick fixes) about fitness/aging - emphasises muscle mass as being the key to 'staying young' whilst old and longevity.
Does it? Not that it isn't important, but mobility / flexibility as important if not more (which the article also includes). Probably the most neglected aspect of most people's training (being neglected altogether or being just an 'after thought' to strength &/or cardio training).
All hand in hand, GFaW. Not many 65+ yo who can do 30+ press ups (not many 18 yr olds can either anymore sadly) and aren't mobile. Personally think over-flexibility is over rated - I know plenty of women who hammer it in yoga studios and who could do with more muscle and less sinew. Clearly everyone needs to be able to walk and bend down to pick things up, but can't see the advantages of being able to get both feet behind your head,.unless they're someone else's feet.
Not sure why the leap to an extreme ("over-flexibility")!! I was simply making the point that flexibility / mobility training is an important, often overlooked element of training. As an aside, unless they are more into a spiritual type practice, the women who are "hammering it in a yoga studio" are possibly stronger than you think, depending on definition of strength obvs. Likely useless in a power lifting sense, but likely have extremely strong core, and strong ligaments, tendons, etc and may well surprise with their ability to do basic body weight strength exercises and even cardio health.
