A great article here:
http://www.economist.com/node/21543129?fsrc=scn/tw/te/mt/worthallthesweat
it talks about research recently published in Nature into *why* exercise is so good for you..
Dr Levine and her team were testing a theory that exercise works its magic, at least in part, by promoting autophagy. This process, whose name is derived from the Greek for “self-eating”, is a mechanism by which surplus, worn-out or malformed proteins and other cellular components are broken up for scrap and recycled.
Awesome!
How did you come across that article? That's a new one to me.
ReplyDeleteOk, I never knew that. Heck, I just know exercise is good... keeping it simple!
