One thing that has not been demonstrated to be too plentiful is the little organelle inside our cells, called the mitochondria.  One of its most important jobs is to generate energy from the food that we take in.  As we age and loose muscle mass we also loose mitochondria.  As we accumulate more metabolic waste, the mitochondria we do have start to malfunction.  These processes lead to  most of the lifestyle diseases we have .   VO2 max is one function that is related to our mitochondrial density.  When our cells do not get oxygen they ultimately die.  Life long
