What are Dr. Peter Attia's views on exercise?
I have a question about this episode and this clip. Explain specific statistics about exercise and longevity. Peter Attia mentioned the impact of cardiorespiratory fitness on longevity and all-cause mortality. How do strength and muscle mass affect longevity? Are there specific percentages, like being this fit or this strong means you'll live this much longer? Additionally, explain the impact of exercise on the risk of Alzheimer's, heart disease, and cancer.
