Stay Young - Ep 1: Stay Fit

Exercise is one of the best things you can do to rejuvenate
yourself at the cellular level – but what’s the best way to do
it? In this episode, Michael speaks to Associate Professor Matt
Robinson from Oregon State University, who has discovered that
just a few minutes of high-intensity exercise can help rejuvenate
you at the cellular level, by helping restore your mitochondria,
your cell’s energy powerhouses. They discuss how exercise has
many benefits across your body - from your muscles, to your
heart, your brain and even your skin! And we meet octogenarian
and healthy ageing expert Dr Norman Lazarus, who didn’t start
exercising until his fifties, and now cycles 100km a week,
feeling at his prime.
