Do you want to know a secret that helps people remain young longer?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know that exercise dramatically slows the aging process?\u00a0 It does.\u00a0 New research suggests that exercise helps people look and remain young longer.<\/p>\n

British researchers compared a group of 125 avid bicyclists between 55 and 79 years old with a group of adults in their 20\u2019s and 30\u2019s.\u00a0 They found that people who biked long distances have more muscle mass, less body fat, and healthier cholesterol levels than their sedentary peers.\u00a0 Additionally, the cyclists have the memory, balance, and immune system function of the younger adults.<\/p>\n

As people get older, their bodies make fewer and fewer T cells (which help protect us against infection). Researchers found that the active older adults were still making as many T cells as their younger counterparts.\u00a0 This means that these older active adults have less risk for infections, cancer, and auto-immune diseases.<\/p>\n

Medical science has increased the average life span into the 80\u2019s.\u00a0 Now that we are living longer, we need to figure out how to also live well as we live longer. Exercise is one key to doing this.<\/p>\n

But if you are not accustomed to exercise, please do not simply begin a new exercise routine on your own.\u00a0 It would be wise to follow these steps.<\/p>\n
