[QUOTE="timewerx, post: 77527759, member: 314730"] If I have to be specific, cardio/endurance exercise is a good equalizer against the potential side effect of any diet ([B]ex[/B]cluding the 'Standard American Diet' ofc). All-cause mortality is strongly linked to cardiovascular fitness and ironically pro body builders may only have average or even below average cardiovascular fitness. The key metric used in measuring cardiovascular fitness is VO2max which basically your maximal oxygen uptake against body mass and since body builders have a lot of mass and the lungs don't really get bigger and anaerobic exercises that body builders do doesn't increase oxygen demand as much as aerobic exercises, their VO2max can be low. By these accounts, a pro-body builder might only have the VO2max of a person who is sedentary and possibly overweight. Although their blood vessels could be healthier with less fatty deposits, their low VO2max can still cause many issues like chronic inflammation, elevated risk of cancer, accelerated aging. Personally, the majority of my exercise is cardio/endurance. A tiny portion is strength training to help strengthen bones and the one-legged strength exercises to help improve balance/stability. My VO2max is still that of a marathon runner. Last year, I got it as high as a world class endurance athlete but I never competed. I think I'm too old for competitions and don't have anything to spare for competitions. I still haven't hit the ceiling yet. I'm still improving, maybe not in terms of VO2max but mainly in my sustained power output for long periods. [/QUOTE]
