Norman Swan on living longer [Recorded at Montalto]

‘Exercise is like a vacuum cleaner for aging tissue and renews your tissue. You can look at the biopsy of muscle and your muscle is frail and old. After you’ve done weight training, your muscle is indistinguishable from a young person’s.’ – Norman Swan

Join one of Australia’s most trusted medical voices for a conversation about lifelong health and communicating in a crisis. Hosted by Sally Warhaft, this conversation was presented in partnership with Montalto.
