Very interesting post Ian. I have to agree with you wholeheartedly. Speaking from personal experience, not just for myself, but I'm visiting my 84 year old mother right now, she cycles daily, for fun and errands, plays pickle-ball regularly, attends courses at University, (she is a PhD), etc. There is an old Buddhist saying;
"Energy begets energy"
Unfortunately I can't share a meme that I came across today but the gist of it was a picture of Mick Jagger, 80 years old, next to Mitch McConnell, 81 years old (prominent US politician, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_McConnell ), and the sentiment is what you state here.
Do I need to say who looks better, more "alive", in this photo?
It's obvious who's been "moving" more throughout their life...
Thank you Ian for this inspiring substack!!
