Short YouTube #Shorts by Vishen Lakhiani referencing a Japanese research team and a leading Japanese longevity doctor who name skiing as the single best activity for longevity.

There was a Japanese team that was looking at the best sport for longevity, interviewed this leading doctor in Japan on longevity, and asked him what is the best, single best activity? And he said, skiing. And it's because of how it loads the legs in terms of bone density. So what's interesting is if you want to preserve bone density, you really have to put a lot of loading. It has to be like a gradual to heavy loading of the legs. So skiing actually mimics the way the legs should be loaded for preserving bone density, according to this Japanese team.
