so i was pondering on this thought today since everyone says steroids are bad (government officials) however, look at arnold hes still alive and kickin. I mean I know we can all suffer from the typical injuries and side effects of using aas. I wanted to know the average age range of the typical competitive bodybuilder. I found this post not exactly sure where its from but it was somewhat informative.
In addition to genetic ties to lifespan, diet has been shown to substantially affect lifespan in many animals. Specifically, caloric restriction (that is, restricting calories to 30-50% less than an ad libitum animal would consume, while still maintaining proper nutrient intake), has been shown to increase lifespan in mice up to 50%. Caloric restriction works on many other species beyond mice (including species as diverse as yeast and Drosophila), and appears (though the data is not conclusive) to increase lifespan in primates according to a study done on Rhesus monkeys at the National Institute of Health (US), although the increase in lifespan is only notable if the caloric restriction is started early in life. Since, at the molecular level, age is counted not as time but as the number of cell doublings, this effect of calorie reduction could be mediated by the slowing of cellular growth and, therefore, the lengthening of the time between cell divisions.
let me know what you guys think or come up with thanks.
as usual your input is appreciated.
