Re: Age, entropy, and exercise?
Just from observations and some reading, people who eat healthy and exercise regularly from the time they are born are much more fit in their future.
Someone who grows up on junk food will have a difficult time maintaining the right proportions. I know this from myself. In Poland, I ate very healthy, organic meals (fresh, grown vegetables, etc.), where here I learned to eat pizza, french fries and other very processed foods.
I was always very lean in Poland and no problems with weights/looks. After a few years of an American diet, I started to lose that "perfection" of great shape. Perhaps, this has to do with getting older, but likely it is due to an extemely reduced exercise program and a worse diet.
Gardener, I would agree with your speculation that exercise most matters when we are little; but I think it is very important to stress here that nutrition and exercise must be maintained all the way up through the years for it to have any splendid effect.
Would love to see something more scientific too.
