Because you’re constantly making repairs necessary while your body is still very capable of adjusting itself, you end up with a better level of cell repair, stem cell activity, bone density, and muscle density.

Once all those things begin deteriorating with age, you’re starting from a much higher baseline than someone with a sedentary lifestyle that never worked out. Meaning you won’t hit critical levels of disrepair, but they will at some point.
