I have read a lot of accounts of seemingly fit, healthy and relatively young athletes collapsing and dying during vigorous activities like running, cycling, football etc.

You only live for a few decades. No need to be scared of this and that. It makes life meaningless.

 

[True Believer]

I can think of better ways to die like from marathon sexual intercourse.

I cycle about 100km almost daily. I never had any health problem. Most likely because I am unvaccinated.

They want to link all the correlations to heart attack so that the sheeple can forget about the root cause of the heart attack

Sheeple usually don’t understand the importance of themselves why the elites and the authorities take so much effort and time to tell them a lie and brainwash them to make a wrong decision due to that lie.

It was actually 99% (mostly sheeple) vs 1%(elites) but these 99% ended up becoming the 9% (minority) vs 91% (elites plus sheeple)

Most sheeple always have this question, why do they (elites and government) have to lie?

Answer: Because sheeple don’t understand that they are actually a powerful human being

Remember the control over the sheeple is through “mind”, not force

To make sure the sheeple do not see themselves (children of God) as important is to cast this spell into their minds

Many more inactive people also die during sleep, eating, shitting, working. Take your pick.

Everything in moderation. HIgh volume of sustained high intensity exercise may paradoxically result in higher stress and inflammation and higher post-exercise cortisol levels, leading to long-term adverse consequences. Not to mention the toll it takes on your joints.

And eat well: regular exercise is not an excuse for eating junk food and drinking loads of energy drinks and beer.

 

[Truthspeak]

And then continue to tell these lies to the sheeple

 

[True Believer]

Many more inactive people also die during sleep, eating, shitting, working. Take your pick.

The only difference is that physically active people die in a healthier state than the less active.

Humans and animals were designed to move.
There is no such thing as humans will die due to moving too much. (This is distraction and misinformation)

Does anyone see this with the animals?

Sheeple should focus on what they are consuming instead

What nonsense they have in their body resulting dis “ease”

He studied fake science. Therefore, he will tell everyone fake science too

Only this TS always posted fake science videos in SBF

Already post covid but sheeple still believe in fake science doctors, researchers and practitioners

**Yes, regular exercise significantly reduces the risk of stroke.** Your daily cycling routine of at least an hour is an excellent habit that likely provides strong protective benefits.

### Key Evidence
Multiple studies, meta-analyses, and health organizations (including the CDC, American Heart Association, and others) consistently show that physical activity lowers stroke risk through several mechanisms:

- **Risk reduction**: Moderate-intensity aerobic activity is linked to a **20–25%** lower risk of stroke (including ischemic and hemorrhagic types) compared to inactivity. Some research indicates even greater reductions—up to **40–60%** with consistent moderate-to-vigorous activity (e.g., 30–60 minutes daily).
- **Dose-response effect**: More activity generally equals greater benefit, though even modest amounts (e.g., 30 minutes most days) help. Your hour of daily cycling far exceeds typical guidelines.
- **Independent benefits**: Exercise helps even beyond weight control—it lowers blood pressure, improves cholesterol, reduces inflammation, enhances blood flow and vascular health, helps control blood sugar, and supports heart function.

Cycling specifically is a great aerobic activity that improves cardiovascular fitness, aids weight management, and is joint-friendly. Studies on commuters and regular cyclists show lower risks of heart disease, stroke, and related mortality.

### Recommended Guidelines
Health authorities recommend:
- At least **150 minutes** (2.5 hours) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week (or 75 minutes vigorous), spread across days.
- Plus muscle-strengthening activities on 2+ days per week.

Your routine (≈7+ hours/week of cycling) comfortably meets and exceeds this, which is associated with the strongest risk reductions.

### Additional Context
- Benefits apply across ages and sexes.
- Consistency matters most—lifelong habits yield the best protection.
- Exercise also improves outcomes if a stroke occurs and aids recovery.

**Important note**: While highly beneficial, exercise is one piece of stroke prevention. Other key factors include managing blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, not smoking, healthy diet, limited alcohol, and good sleep. Consult a doctor for personalized advice, especially if you have other risk factors or health conditions. Keep up the great work with your cycling!

There are some older, long-serving PAP ministers from the legacy era still receiving pensions in retirement. The pension scheme for political appointment holders in S'pore, was abolished from May 2011.

**Yes, regular exercise significantly reduces the risk of stroke.** Your daily cycling routine of at least an hour is an excellent habit that likely provides strong protective benefits.

Evidence is clear: regular low-to-moderate intensity cardio exercise plus resistance exercise reduces risk oof stroke, heart disease and falls in old age.

However, high volume of high intensity exercise (zone 3 to 5) sustained over long periods may have the opposite effect.

Moderation is key.

100km cycling is like jogging maybe 5-7 km but with less harmful impact issues. Just wondering where you cycle in Klang valley
