Andrew Huberman said that the healthiest fittest elderly people he's ever met were almost all farmers or people who did some sort of physical labor outdoors on a regular basis. I believe it. Hoeing and maintaining a garden in 90° heat is a better workout than the gym.

I know several farmers twice my age that can out work me, and Im in alot better physical shape than my average peer. They do not go to the gym or exercise at all. Their work is the exercise. -sunlight exposure -brown fat activation (uncomfortable temps) -physical strength training (labor) -elevated heart rate for extended periods -bare skin contact with the earth From my personal experience in my life and in my garden, I believe Andrew's findings to be accurate.
