Exercise: Miracle “drug” for health & longevity
In a 16 year study of 3000 people, all either pre-diabetic or diabetic, there were striking differences in mortality based on physical fitness. (From the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, September, 2009)
![Those with low exercise capacity (get tired easily), as measured on an exercise treadmill, had a 50% higher mortality rate than those with high or even moderate exercise capacity. A little exercise goes a long way.
People who were overweight or obese and physically unfit had more than double the mortality rate of those physically fit and normal weight.
Becoming fit by regular exercise lowers blood pressure, blood sugar, and bad cholesterol, improves arterial function, inhibits clotting, decreases arterial plaque deposits and improves good cholesterol.
Exercise lowers your chances of succumbing to cardiovascular disease [heart attack and stroke]. Overweight/obesity and lack of exercise go hand-in-hand when it comes to ensuring early disability and a shortened lifespan.
How much exercise? A brisk 30 minute walk five days a week will do it.
Or exercise can be cumulative, ten minutes here, ten minutes there.
It also helps to become a “pacer.” Pace as you wait for the elevator, the microwave, while you brush your teeth or hair. Do a step-step-step while you cook. If it’s bad weather, or you have a small apartment or don’t have a gym, use your supermarket: Walk up and down the aisles before going back & starting your shopping. Who cares what people are think? (Actually, they don’t think. ;) You’ll feel so good about yourself you’ll be better able to resist the usual temptations.](Exercise_a_%22Miracle_Drug%22_files/shapeimage_2.png)
