Shownotes Transcript

We know that things change as we get older. 

 

We see a change in the redundancy of the physiological system leading to less reserve and more vulnerability to disease and other issues. 

 

While these changes DO happen, many of them happen VERY slowly. 

But in some older adults, these changes seem sped up!

What is the culprit?

Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour!
