"But the group of mice that exercised, genetically compromised though they were, were nearly indistinguishable from healthy mice. Their coats were sleek and black, they ran around their cages, they could even reproduce. "We almost completely prevented the premature aging in the animals," Tarnopolsky says."
" In studies where blood is drawn immediately after people exercised, researchers have found that many positive changes occur throughout the body during and right after a workout. "Going for a run is going to improve your skin health, your eye health, your gonadal health," he says. "It's unbelievable." If there were a drug that could do for human health everything that exercise can, it would likely be the most valuable pharmaceutical ever developed."
Most Americans live a sedentary lifestyle and sometimes that's not exactly by choice since businesses demand so much from their employees without factoring in that those employees are sitting all day! That's dangerous to the health!
Here's another good quote from the article:
"Scientists don't know exactly why exercise changes the structure and function of the brain for the better, but it's an area of active research. So far, they've found that exercise improves blood flow to the brain, feeding the growth of new blood vessels and even new brain cells, courtesy of the protein BDNF, short for brain-derived neurotrophic factor. BDNF triggers the growth of new neurons and helps repair and protect brain cells from degeneration. "I always tell people that exercise is regenerative medicine--restoring and repairing and basically fixing things that are broken," Bamman says."
I find that having a daily routine of exercise makes me miss it when I skip doing it! I am using a Fitbit now to track my steps and there are days I've discovered I easily get my 10,000 steps in and then there are days when it's noon and I barely have a thousand steps because I've been on CH too long. eek
