Their research with mice found that a substance made "sedentary mice" more active and derive benefit above their exertion by faking out the muscle into believing it had done more.
Hailed as a breakthrough for couch potatos everywhere- Who are they kidding? Replacing exercise with a pill?
Exercise has far more benefits than just weight management!
Exercise is the literal fountain of youth!
Among it's many benefits, exercise is proven to:
- Reduce body fat.
- Relieve tension
- Reduce depression by increasing endorphines
- Maintain/ build muscle strength
- Reduces blood pressure
- Reduces cholesterol
- Improve pulmonary function (breathing)
- Keep joints limber
- Improves coordination and balance
- Increase testosterone (yes, it does increases male and female sex drive)
- The thrill of victory (ok...say it with me...and the agony of defeat)
If you give your body a reason to be vital and alive, it will keep you young and strong.
I commend you to one of my favorite books- Younger Next Year by Chris Crowley and Dr. Henry Lodge
