Study: Exercise Can Add 3 Years to Life
This article regarding the life extending benefits of exercize might at first seem to not really fit the criterion for RE News but I think it can come pretty close if we consider a few things unique about our times. Consider that we nowadays have the ability to use high tech engineered methods to get exercise that in the past we instead crudely got daily through hard work. In fact time constraints sometimes force us to use these more concentrated methods than working all day, so to speak, "on the back forty" because fewer people in developed nations are farmers or work other close to nature type occupations these days.
However, that being said it must also be noted that high tech exercise methods are far superior to the daily grind that ground most people down literally to their graves in the past despite the health benefits. Injuries were common as was stress damage. Today we have controlled weight lifting, for instance, that can protect one's back not to mention the knowledge to greater understand what we're doing. Also no one 100 years ago and beyond ever heard the word aerobics. We have also have the benefit of low impact running capabilities with special machines. If we consider "Sports Medicine" and the high tech exercise and study done there then we truly are encroaching Rejuvination Engineering protocols. That is part of why I felt this warranted mentioning here on the Rejuv-N-Nation Blog but not necessarily on the Mprize website proper Rejuvination Engineering News section.
Here's the first part of the article. I hope the link stays current. If not I'll look into caching it perhaps on the Mprize website.

CHICAGO - People who exercise can add three years to their life, and their hearts reap benefits from something as simple as brisk walking a half-hour a day, two studies suggest.
"Three years of extra life: It's a very clear message that makes it easy to grasp what might be the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle," said Dr. Oscar Franco, co-author of one of the studies and a researcher at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
