Why Are The Benefits of Exercise Still Being Tested?
I still find it amazing that the benefits of fitness still need to be tested.
A recent article in Medical News Today started out:
“Regular exercise speeds learning and improves blood flow to the brain, according to a new study led by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine that is the first to examine these relationships in a non-human primate model. The findings are available in the journal Neuroscience.”
And then finished with:
“These findings indicate that aerobic exercise at the recommended levels can have meaningful, beneficial effects on the brain,” Dr. Cameron said. “It supports the notion that working out is good for people in many, many ways.”
I wonder how much money was spent on this finding (that is so obvious) that could have been put to better use.
I know…instead of mandatory health insurance, make one hour of exercise per day mandatory. Assign everyone an online journal and if they don’t complete it with pictures of proof they don’t get any desert 🙂
