Exercise is the single most important pro-longevity activity you can undertake.

If you are over 60 years old, exercising just twice per week with weights (resistance) will reduce all-cause mortality by 50 percent and reduce your risk of cancer by three-fold.

The statement promotes the benefits of exercise, particularly resistance training for individuals over 60, and claims significant health benefits. The tone is encouraging and aims to motivate older adults to engage in physical activity. The image shows an older individual presumably exercising, with a caption that supports the statement's message about exercise being beneficial for aging. The statement may be seen as an oversimplification and could be misleading if the statistics provided are not based on robust scientific evidence.

Principle 1:
I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
The statement intends to promote health and well-being, which aligns with doing no harm. However, if the statistics are not accurate, it could mislead individuals and potentially cause harm if they over-rely on exercise alone for health benefits. [+1]
Principle 4:
I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
The statement and image aim to promote understanding and compassion for the health of older adults, encouraging a positive lifestyle change. [+1]
Principle 6:
I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
The statement uses influence to promote a potentially beneficial activity for society, but it should be based on accurate information to ensure it is for the betterment of society.
