The Often Forgotten Health Benefit of Aerobic Exercise

A test was done among three groups of volunteers--one group were well conditioned men--another were average men, while the third group were men in poor physical condition. The subjects were given 1 1/2 pints of heavy cream to drink and nothing else. It was learned from blood tests done after, that the well conditioned bodies lowered their total fat to normal within four hours while some of the deconditioned men took up to 10 hours. Those running the test had this to say after:
"Consider all the fat your body takes in during the day and you can understand the body's job of getting rid of fat. Some bodies can't do it, and problems become inevitable because of that fact."

But here's the interesting conclusion---"Ideally, healthy fat metabolism depends on a combination of a low-fat diet and aerobic exercise, but studies have shown that a high-fat diet and aerobic work are preferable to a low-fat diet and no exercise."

To those who think their diet alone, or their diet and say, yoga, or something like Tai-Chi, is their ticket to long-term health and longevity are misguided.
Interestingly, Dr. Paavo Airola shocked healthy eating buffs 50 years ago when he said the same thing, he wrote that it would be better to have a poor diet and exercise rather than a great diet and no exercise. The benefits of daily aerobic work cannot be stressed enough!

35 minutes running the hills with stretching after.
