Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is a fascinating and life-enhancing investigation into exercise as the new medicine, reversing disease and lengthening lives. An extensive and exciting new science is emerging around the use of exercise in and as medicine, and in lengthening lives. In this book, internationally bestselling science writer Jorg Blech sets out the actual physiological effects of moving the body, and the specific uses that doctors are now making of this in common ailments such as heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis as well psychological problems such as ADHD and depression. Exercise triggers the growth of new brain cells, induces stem cells in blood vessels, prolongs the life of breast cancer patients, and reverses symptoms of heart disease and of type 2 diabetes. Blech also explores the effects of training on life expectancy: exercise is the only known remedy that lengthens the life - as well as helping us not to look old. Couch potatoes, by contrast, are prone to swift degeneration and grow gallstones.
Every one of us, whether a healthy athlete, a patient seeking to overcome a chronic disease, or anyone wanting a longer, healthier, more mentally active life, can use the new and important information in this book.
