I am often asked what exercise is best for weight loss and health in general. The answer is: any exercise – and many new studies show a combination of various types of exercise are superior to any one form of exercise by itself....

Researchers documented that a potent brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was significantly boosted by 3 months of aerobic exercise – and the higher its level the less a person wants to eat and the greater their weight loss. This is the first time BDNF levels have been linked to appetite suppression – a significant finding.

In a small group of men and women ages 60 to 80 it was found that those who did 3 hours of aerobics per week for ten consecutive years had much less abnormal twisting of the blood vessels in their brain, reflecting brain circulation patterns of younger adults.

Several new studies are showing that aerobic exercise can have a rather profound effect on promoting health. One study showed that in older adults with type II diabetes just three months of aerobics produced noticeable improvement in the elasticity of arteries. Another study showed that one month of aerobic exercise reduced the fatty build up in the liver of overweight individuals.

Researchers evaluated the findings from 111 recent studies on exercise and brain function and came to the conclusion that both aerobics and strength training are of great value to brain health at every age. This is especially the case for helping to maintain cognitive function in older age.

Your bones are a powerplant for generating new cells. In many situations, stem cells can follow more than one path to become whatever the body thinks is needed most. Some stem cells in bone can become fat or they can become new red or white blood cells. A new study demonstrates that laziness breeds fat, and aerobics is a powerful stimulator of new blood cell formation.
