Decision to leave the hospital
In 1992, Amosov felt the inevitable weakness begin to haunt him. This was the reason for the decision to tie up with surgical practice. The doctor worried not for himself, but for the patients, as he was afraid to harm them. He still continues to play sports, namely running and exercises with dumbbells. In addition, it was decided to increase the load several times. The doctor believed that during sports, you need to bring the pulse to no less thanone hundred and forty beats per minute, otherwise any exercise loses its meaning.
Amosov experiment
At the end of his life, the surgeon decided to conduct an experiment on rejuvenation with his body. Every morning he ran five kilometers jogging, after which he spent two sessions of gymnastics, each of which lasted about an hour. Two thousand five hundred movements with dumbbells daily is the key to a strong spine and all joints, Nikolai Amosov believed. Photos of the famous surgeon can be seen in many sources. To work out all the exercises, the author of the experiment had to spend about two months.
According to the methodology, you need to give up fat and butter, and reduce meat consumption to fifty grams per day. During the experiment, Nikolai Mikhailovich ate more food, but his weight did not change. Muscles have become stronger, and the layer of subcutaneous fat has decreased. The charming condition of life is breath control every second.
The experiment lasted over four years. Amosov himself claimed that there was progress: the muscles became more trained, the organs and joints more resilient. But the aging process itself could not be slowed down. Of course, such an insignificant period of the experiment does not give the right to judge more accurate results.

Nikolai Amosov died on December 12, 2002. He lived for eighty-nine years and proved that with the help of physical exercises a person can not only prolong his youth and delay old age, but also be cured of heart disease.

The surgeon himself believed that if it were not for the heart disease, he would have lived much longer. He was buried at the Baykove cemetery in Kyiv.
