Longevity Expert Advises Combining Cardio and Strength Training After 40 for Health

Longevity expert Dr. Vassily Eliopoulos emphasizes that after age 40, focusing solely on cardio exercise is insufficient for long-term health. While cardio improves VO2 max, a key predictor of mortality, maintaining muscle mass through strength training is equally important, as muscle declines 3-8% per decade without resistance training. He advises combining both cardio and strength exercises to support overall health, energy, and longevity, cautioning that excessive cardio alone may accelerate muscle loss.
