Does sports as a child help you stay slim at least up to 40 years old with a regular diet and light loads like walking?

Of course, when a person went in for sports during his childhood and adolescence, this will affect the body after and in middle age, if from time to time to keep the body in good shape, but not to exhaust yourself. Sport doesn't just shape character. In the process of a child's growth, the cardiovascular system is normalized, muscles and ligaments are strengthened, and immunity is formed that can withstand most colds, which are so frequent in childhood. Together with the age closer to 40 and 40+, a completely different time of life begins, physical activity is no longer given, gradually chronic and hereditary diseases begin to appear every year, and no matter how hard a person tries, age will take its toll. But, nevertheless, even in middle age, if desired, you can prolong your activity simply by doing morning exercises, a little stretching and walking. It is necessary to carefully merge for nutrition, because with age, metabolism slows down, changes in the endocrine system occur, which makes it difficult to keep yourself in shape.

In my opinion, a healthy lifestyle (includes all of the above) will help maintain excellent external and health for up to 60 years. It is useless to fight involution (programmed aging), but it is possible to prolong youth. The Japanese are a great example.

Everyone knows very well that this country has the largest percentage of centenarians. If you ask the centenarians themselves, in what they limit themselves, then you can hear an amazing answer - in nothing.

They just know what measure is and what quality is. I also recommend learning what ikigai is.

Also, one cannot deny the role of genetics and a tendency to certain problems in the body in connection with the environment.

The main enemy of our body is ourselves! Only we decide whether we will be friends with the body or enemies.

Nobody forces us to drink, smoke, overeat. It's just ourselves.
