Jeffry Life was born in July 1938. He is now 84 years old. Until the age of 60, Dr Jeffry lived the ordinary life of a fading man.
A family therapist from New York, who devoted his whole life to work, suddenly realized that he neglected the most important patient - himself. By that time, the doctor was already suffering from diabetes and had heart problems. He developed a large stomach, shortness of breath and chronic fatigue.
It was difficult for him to climb even one flight of stairs. And the saddest thing that men are afraid of, Jeffry had impotence. The emerging age crisis made him think about his future life.
Then, at the age of 60, a historic decision was made - the beginning of the struggle with old age. Jeffry said, "It's never too late to be healthy and it's never too early. I'll do it!
". He analyzed his diet, and first of all excluded sugar, flour products, white rice, potatoes, food with harmful fats from the diet, and also stopped drinking beer. Then he went to the gym and started training.
The doctor chose a former Marine as his coach, who would not allow him to doubt and feel sorry for himself. After 5 months Jeffry managed to lose 25 kilograms of excess weight. This victory motivated him to study even harder in the gym, and to do it consistently.
Soon he made tangible progress - the diseases began to recede, the beer belly disappeared, and the body began to acquire athletic features. One day he found out about a competition for older athletes and sent his photos to the competition in the format "before" and "after". Unexpectedly Jeffry became the winner of this contest!
It was another incentive to study even harder. Soon Jeffry turned from an old fat man into a healthy and energetic person. He proved by personal example that after 60 years you can not only look attractive, but also get rid of diseases.
Yes, it is difficult, yes, there will be failures and breakdowns, but you need to be patient, not give up and move towards the goal. One of the difficulties Jeffry Life faced after 60 years is the loss of muscle mass and the deposition of fat in the abdomen and thighs. Despite the fact that he ate right and worked hard at fitness, something was bothering him.
It was a period of despair, and the man decided to be examined to find the reason. The culprit was andropause, an age-related decrease in testosterone levels in the body, which slows down the growth of muscle mass. The answer was found.
Jeffry got to one conference where he met gerontologists. After the consultation, the man received a new nutrition program with an increased proportion of protein and a reduced amount of fats and carbohydrates. He was also prescribed hormone replacement therapy.
Plus, he picked up vitamins and other dietary supplements that are necessary at his age to stimulate the production of natural testosterone. After a couple of months, the man felt significant changes in his body. He got rid of fat accumulations and gained high-quality muscle mass.
Here's what every man needs to know about testosterone says Jeffry Life: First, do some physical exercises every day. Secondly, make sure that everything that gets into your stomach does not harm you, but benefits. Thirdly, make sure that there is no hormonal deficiency in your body.
Since that time, Jeffry has been keeping himself in good shape for many years. He devotes time to strength training at least five times a week, doing cardio, stretching and swimming. But fitness is far from the only activity in his life.
He has a family and other hobbies. Jeffry trains for a black belt in taekwondo, also does Thai boxing. His interest in his own nutrition made him become a professional in the field of dietetics.
Someone's life ends after 70 years, and someone is just beginning. Jeffry Life was so pleased with the results of his methodology that he decided to incorporate the lessons he had learned into his own medical practice. Since then, he has helped many people struggle with age, and even wrote a useful book on this topic.
Here's what Dr Jeffry Life says about muscle mass: "Older people consume insufficient amounts of protein, and this contributes to the loss of muscle mass. " He advises people over the age of 60 to take protein and other important supplements - calcium, vitamin D3, multivitamin mineral complex, coenzyme q10, probiotics and lycopene. By the way, what do you think about increasing protein in the diet in old age?
Write your opinion in the comments below this video. And we move on to practical things. Here's what Dr Jeffry advises for weight loss: Rule one.
Eat often. You should train your body to eat food every few hours in small portions. This forces the body to process all the food immediately after consumption and use the resulting calories as an energy source before they can turn into fat.
Rule two. Maintain a nutrient balance. Your food should be varied, but not leading to fat accumulation.
Adjust your carbohydrate intake so that your weight is normal, according to your age and height, and does not increase. Rule three. Learn to plan your day to keep up with everything.

It is very important to plan where you will be today, what you will eat for lunch, dinner, what kind of snack you will have, you should buy the necessary products in advance, take a protein bar or a protein shake with you.
And most importantly, training needs to be planned. They should not be missed in any case. Except if you are not feeling well or are ill.
Dr Jeffry visits the gym five times a week. Here is his training scheme, which is suitable for most older men and women: Each workout should last no more than one hour. Monday - training of the pectoral muscles.
Tuesday - back training. Wednesday - shoulder training. Thursday - hand training.
Friday - leg training. During the workout, do four different exercises for the selected muscle group. Each exercise should be done in 4 sets.
In each approach, do from 8 to 12 repetitions. It is also important to do cardio 3-4 times a week, lasting 50 minutes. You can do it in an exercise bike or on a treadmill.
Cardio is done on the days of strength training, for example before it. Today Dr Jeffry is 84 years old! But he feels great.
Having once given up medical practice, he completely devoted himself to the fight against old age and leads a healthy lifestyle. The doctor showed by personal example that if you really want to, you can be healthy and active, in excellent physical shape and live a full life. The right lifestyle will help you forget about the painful old age, says Dr Jeffry.
