Why is exercise good for you?

[OdiN]

Stop posting. Seriously.

Regular exercise can make you outrageously good looking. And is there anything more important than being outrageously good looking?

OP - when are you going to get your head fixed? You're gonna be dead before you hit 30 if you keep this up.

Actually, over the past 3 years, I've lost 70 pounds, reduced my heart thickness back down to normal, my cholesterols has dropped to 140 total, and my sugar is back to normal. I went to being the healthiest person in my family.

Yes, I need to calm down. But overall, I've become a lot more healthy.

Discuss.

Your body reacts to the stress of exercise by making muscles stronger, and your heart is a muscle. Your muscles become more efficient at performing work. In the case of your heart muscle, your stronger and more efficient heart doesn't need to work as hard to perform the same amount of work, as a result it doesn't need to pump as quickly. The body adapts to exercise in many ways, this adaptation is a genetic response.

Awesome. Thank you for a serious response.

I think he actually brings up a good question. Exercise essentially destroys muscle (thus making them stronger; the muscle gets damaged, the body repairs it and adds a little something extra). Some impact exercises are also bad on your joints, but still benefit you overall.

Haven't you ever heard of sexual healing?

There's good progress in breaking down the biochemical pathways of exercise. Exercise in a pill you can call it. Exercise without the exercise would be nice, including eliminating the potential side effects.

:thumbsup: awesome
I love quick fixes

That's why I've been working on a new look I like to call "Magnum".

Screw Biochemisty, Just watch The Magic School Bus. That's how I learned what you're asking back in 3rd grade.

If you want hardcore information, I strongly recommend you read this:
http://www.amazon.com/You-Stay...Warranty/dp/0743569385

It focuses on anti-aging, but it's basically a layman's guide to the body. (With chapters devoted to the question you asked) Lots of good tips in there to. It's awesome, and one of the most enlightening things I've ever read. Read it.

Most of the things you mention here are simply a result of not being fat. Like not having as much bulk to pump blood through, or not having a big store of full fat cells to steadily dump triglycerides into the bloodstream.

Another thing you might be interested in is that exercise improves insulin sensitivity.
