An orthopedic surgeon doctor recently told me that people who are able to remain athletic in late-life aren’t that way because they’ve just maintained healthy habits, it’s because “they won the genetic lottery”. In other words, everyone can abuse their bodies while they’re young, but only some people’s bodies are resilient enough to keep working well afterwards.
