Paul C. Bragg and His Weight Lifting Health Follower
My father’s good friend, Roy White of Long Beach,
California, is in his 106 th year of life, yet he has a tireless,
painless and ageless body. He knows the Laws of Mother
Nature and God and he lives by them. He doesn’t fear
old age and is a young man in biological years. We both
could name many, many more friends who are in their
80 s, 90 s and even over 100 , who are biologically youthful!Roy White

Iron Pumping Oldsters (86 to 96) Triple
Their Muscle Strength in U.S. Study
WASHINGTON – Ageing nursing home residents in
Boston study “pumping iron”? Elderly weightlifters
tripling and quadrupling their muscle strength? Is it
possible? Most people would doubt and wonder!
Government experts on ageing answered those questions
with a resounding “yes” with the results of this revealing
and amazing study! They turned a group of frail Boston
nursing home residents, aged 86 to 96 , into weightlifters
to demonstrate the fact it’s never too late to reverse
age-related declines in muscle strength. The group
participated in a regimen of high-intensity weight-
training in a study conducted by Dr. Maria A. Fiatarone
of the Agriculture Department’s Human Nutrition
Research Center on Ageing at Tufts University in Boston.
