That's not a fantasy, says Padma Shri awardee and veteran cardiologist Dr. Mohsin Wali — it's science, practice, and a bit of body wisdom. In a recent podcast with Oddsditness, Dr. Wali, who has served as the honorary physician to three Presidents of India, revealed how people in their 50s can actually reverse their biological age, regardless of the number of candles on their to Dr. Wali, the secret to youth isn't locked in expensive serums or silver bullet supplements. It's embedded in your muscles — and more importantly, in the memory of those muscles. Speaking with clarity and conviction, the celebrated cardiologist explained how the body retains the memory of movements, and how this can be harnessed in your 50s to reclaim strength, mobility, and vitality.'You don't need to invent new exercises,' he said. 'Just stick to what your body already knows. You can do the same routines you did at 45 — just adjust the intensity, duration, or frequency. Let your body keep the rhythm, even if the tempo changes.'In the conversation, Dr. Wali emphasized the remarkable ability of the human body to retain its "learned" actions. This phenomenon, often referred to as muscle memory, allows individuals to maintain fitness regimens well into old age without completely reinventing the wheel. It's not about pushing harder — it's about pushing smarter.'Your body knows certain actions,' he said. 'Even subconsciously, it's prepared to execute them. Reduce the time, volume, or strength — but never stop. That continuity is what keeps the biological clock from speeding up.'Dr. Wali's credentials are unmatched in Indian medicine. At just 33, he became the youngest doctor ever to be appointed as honorary physician to a sitting President — R. Venkataraman. He went on to serve Shankar Dayal Sharma and Pranab Mukherjee, becoming the only physician in India's history to serve three heads of state. His role extended beyond clinical care, influencing national health policies and geriatric wellness Wali's message is powerful — and timely. In a world obsessed with staying young, he offers a refreshingly attainable approach: build a habit, maintain the momentum, and trust your body's intelligence.

No need to panic because of rising Covid cases, just be cautious: Dr Wali
New Delhi, June 7 (UNI) The Covid cases are rising rapidly and the deaths have alerted us but there is no need to panic, prominent doctor Mohsin Wali has said. Dr. Wali, who has had the unique privilege of serving three Presidents of India -- R. Venkataraman, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, and Pranab Kumar Mukherjee -- said most of the people infected with the virus will have mild to moderate respiratory illness and will not require special treatment. While the potency of the current strain of the Covid virus has increased slightly, there is no need to panic, he says, adding people should, instead, be cautious about its transmission and follow Covid-appropriate behavior. 'This is a respiratory virus, a sars virus, and the current variant is a sub-variant of Omicron. Its spike protein has changed, and it has increased its ability to bind to cells. However, we need to fear not the virus itself but its transmission," he said. 'Fearing transmission means we need to wear masks, use sanitizers, maintain social distancing, and follow covid-appropriate protocols. We should not go directly to (interact with) small children or elderly people after coming home from outside," he suggested. "If you have cough, cold, and fever for more than three days, get tested for covid. If the test is positive, don't panic. Isolate yourself and follow the doctor's advice," he added. People with asthma, cold, and fever along with heart or kidney disease should be cautious and those who have undergone kidney or liver transplant should also be careful. "We don't need to do anything more than this. The government is monitoring it, and whenever there is another variation, it will be caught," he says. UNI AM AKK BM
