Check out Arnold Schwarzenegger at 65
we all know that excercise have countless benefits but have you ever think of being young so long?
This image is visible enough to get your mind clear
Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky, a professor of pediatrics at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario was surprized to know that excercise kept a mice from aging...how?
Exercise alters the course of aging
keeps your mitochondria Fresh
it is better explained with the help of mitochondria that makes your food turn into you energy. mitochondria have a different DNA than oyher cells in human.That means that in the process of evolution, bacteria invaded cells and provided the ability to turn sugar to energy more efficiently than any other process in the body. Aging in humans is associated with loss of function and number of mitochondria which causes decline in tissue functions that causes cancers, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, and Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. With aging, genetic mutations cause mitochondria to malfunction and die and you to look older.But Exercising helps to prevent loss of mitochondria and even makes them larger.
Ability to burn fat and sugar for energy
With aging, the number and the efficiency of mitochondria both decrease. This interferes with your body's ability to turn food into energy. The extra calories that are not burned accumulate in your body as fat in your muscles, liver and fat cells. This causes you to gain weight. but Exercise speeds up the reactions that turn food into energy
Slows signs of aging
Studies have shown exercise in later life slows signs of aging such as
-
loss and graying of hair
-
weaker and smaller muscles
-
loss of brain function and size
-
Thinning of skin
-
Damage to blood vessels associated with heart attacks and strokes
-
Loss of apoptosis associated with increased cancer risk
-
Loss of sexuality associated with shrinking of testicles and ovaries.
Anything is better than nothing start by walking 5 mins and increase it day by day
If you do not have a regular exercise program, you are shortening your life.
Thats not Arnold in the picture.
