‘Young forever’ is now not just a state of mind. It is possible for 70-year-olds to have muscles as healthy as those of fit 25-year-olds, says a new study.

As reported in The New York Times, the study showed that older men and women who have exercised for decades have higher aerobic capacities than most people their age, making them about 30 years younger than their actual ages.
