An Iron Age culture of the Tibetan Plateau has tentatively been associated with the Zhang Zhung culture described in early Tibetan writings. All health and fitness roads lead to Meta-Age, that is, self-awareness of physical, mental, and social expectations beyond midlife. The desire to defy age is as ancient as human history. We cannot stop the natural intrinsic ageing process but by taking some preventive actions we can influence some factors of that process. The Meta-Age philosophy focuses on an extension of midlife, with a short old age, to write a new narrative of ageing as it could – and should – be.”

Although Egypt is geographically in Africa, historians frequently consider Egyptian history to be part of the "Near East", as there was considerable cultural interaction. The Iron Age in Egyptian archaeology essentially corresponds to the Third Intermediate Period of Egypt. Midlifers comprise a higher percentage of the overall population in some countries, and there may be a time when midlifers outnumber the younger gym enthusiasts. The development of iron smelting was once attributed to the Hittites of Anatolia during the Late Bronze Age. As part of the Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age, the Bronze Age collapse saw the slow, comparatively continuous spread of iron-working technology in the region. It was long held that the success of the Hittite Empire during the Late Bronze Age had been based on the advantages entailed by the "monopoly" on ironworking at the time. [28] Accordingly, the invading Sea Peoples would have been responsible for spreading the knowledge through that region. The view of such a "Hittite monopoly" has come under scrutiny and no longer represents a scholarly consensus. [28] While there are some iron objects from Bronze Age Anatolia, the number is comparable to iron objects found in Egypt and other places of the same time period; and only a small number of these objects are weapons.

The first book, 20-21, is about developing the discipline to make exercise an intrinsic behaviour such as brushing your teeth. The second, Lone Wolf, introduces the concept of becoming a ‘Super-Ager’– one who is biologically younger than their chronological age. At 45-plus, getting the body into shape is a different challenge from the one faced at 20. Wayne’s Meta-Age training methodology is the first-of-its-kind programme dedicated to training the midlife body. It’s not complicated – I have six core exercises daily for discipline, body strength, mobility and balance. Keep it simple and take your time – it is in your hands!

Wayne, from London, said: “My book contains life-long lessons that everyone can use – improved confidence and resilience, diet, and self-image, and how to live with chronic pain. Though there is some uncertainty, some archaeologists believe that iron metallurgy was developed independently in sub-Saharan West Africa, separately from Eurasia and neighboring parts of North and Northeast Africa.

You may be a 25-year-old who likes to go to bed at 8:00 pm and rise with the dawn. Or a 56-year-old who likes the nightlife, partying until dawn and sleeping until noon.Though BMR and REE are calculated differently, the difference is less than 10 percent, so these terms may be used interchangeably. Meta-Age is a lifestyle choice leading to physical and mental self-awareness for a healthier, longer life. It is a new alternative life stage for people who invest in their health in the long term to avoid a decrepit, inconsequential old age. Anthony Snodgrass [20] [21] suggests that a shortage of tin and trade disruptions in the Mediterranean around 1300BC forced metalworkers to seek an alternative to bronze. Many bronze implements were recycled into weapons during that time, and more widespread use of iron led to improved steel-making technology and lower costs. When tin became readily available again, iron was cheaper, stronger and lighter, and forged iron implements superseded cast bronze tools permanently. [22]

Minze Stuiver and N. J. van der Merwe, "Radiocarbon Chronology of the Iron Age in Sub-Saharan Africa", Current Anthropology 1968. Tylecote 1975 (see below) Understanding people’s age on the internet is a complex challenge across our industry, and we already have various methods of finding and removing accounts used by people who misrepresent their age. For example, anyone can report an underage account to us. Our content reviewers are also trained to flag reported accounts that appear to be used by people who are underage. If these people are unable to prove they meet our minimum age requirements, we delete their accounts. And who is this guru we hear you ask, well none other than one of our very own feature writers of Sustain Health Magazine, Wayne Lèal. Although meteoritic iron has been used for millennia in many regions, the beginning of the Iron Age is locally defined around the world by archaeological convention when the production of smelted iron (especially steel tools and weapons) replaces their bronze equivalents in common use.

Wayne has travelled worldwide and been featured on various platforms, including BBC News and Australia’s Channel 9 TV. The ethos of Meta-Agefacilitates the continuation – of a healthy midlife, not eternal life. During the Iron Age, and a little earlier too, between 6,000 and 3,000 BC.C., the human being created various inventions that allowed him to make a great evolutionary leap.

It is also a fact that midlifers will soon make up a significant portion of gym attendees, even though many gyms have yet to realise this. Midlifers are loyal customers.
