Alberto Lence, excursion organizer: “If your parents are 50 years old and don't walk, they won't be independent at 70 or 80 years old.”

Alberto Lence, an excursion organizer, has highlighted the critical link between physical activity in middle age and long-term independence in later life. He asserts that individuals who do not maintain a walking regimen by age 50 face a significantly higher risk of losing their autonomy by the time they reach their 70s or 80s, emphasizing consistent exercise as a primary tool for health preservation.
