MEET & GREET

BODYBUILDING AND FITNESS -
THE IDEAL ANTI-AGING STYLE

lThe IFBB World Master Championships are always an
inspiration to athletes, officials, enthusiasts, and society in
general, being the showcase of one of the most magic and
impressive effects of our sport.
Numerous scientific researches already proved the great
efficiency of fitness training and nutrition to prevent and /
or reverse this process. Recent studies have even shown
that strength training can cause functional reversal of aging
at the molecular level, “repairing” very poorly functioning
genes of elder people.
Nothing else in human history has shown the similar
effect! The best visual example of it, are our athletes over
60 and plus years old, and their healthy muscular bodies.
Toshisuke Kanazawa, from Japan, at his 83 years old,
and Rafael Vera, from Spain, at his 76 years old, are vivid
examples of bodybuilding as the ideal antiaging and
healthy lifestyle.
