JUNE 2016 Reach Beyond Popular wisdom has long equated more exercise with greater weight loss, but new research shows the effect of physical activity on human physiology may be a lot more complicated than that. In a report recently published in Current Biology, researchers explored the relationship between exercise and energy expenditure (calories burned). This study monitored the physical activity and corresponding total energy expenditure in 322 men and women in North America and Africa. discussed in a recent Harvard Health Blog by Elizabeth (Beth) Pegg Frates, MD, teacher at Harvard Medical School, as well as Harvard Extension School. According to Frates, researchers found that physical activity did increase energy expenditure as expected, but only up to a point. Researchers monitored the units of motion per minute per day in the research subjects, taking into account motion and velocity. At lower levels of activity, increasing the counts per minute per day did increase energy expenditure. However, with higher mean counts per minute per day, increasing counts did not increase energy expenditure, indicating a ceiling effect. So in this study, after a certain point, more exercise did not equal more energy used. These study results notwithstanding, it s important to beyond burning calories. For example, 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per week can and increase nitric oxide levels, which serves to open up blood vessels, according to Frates. cholesterol and lowers levels of damaging LDL cholesterol. In addition, regular physical activity increases insulin sensitivity. This is especially important for people with diabetes and it can also help prevent the onset of diabetes, according to Frates. Exercise can also help enhance cognitive skills it s true that what is good for the heart is good for the brain. Research demonstrates that regular exercise can increase the size of the hippocampus, an area of the brain involved with memory.

Research Reveals It s no secret that regular exercise is good for our health. than previously recognized. It (walking) may be the closest thing we have to a wonder drug, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in an online Harvard School of Medicine report. The article, published in May, reports that walking can have a bigger impact on disease risk and various health conditions than just about any other remedy that s readily available. What s more, it s free and has practically no negative side effects. Walking for 2.5 hours a week that s just 21 minutes a day can cut the risk of heart disease by 30 percent, according to the report. Research also shows walking may reduce the risk of diabetes and cancer, lower blood pressure and cholesterol and improve mental function.* In fact, according to some estimates, walking regularly could save Americans more than $100 billion a year in health care costs, according to the Harvard publication. Even a quick one-minute jaunt pays off. A University of Utah study in 2014 found that for every minute of brisk walking that women did throughout the day, they lowered their risk of obesity by 5 percent, the article reported. A number of studies have found that walking is as effective as drugs for decreasing depression and can help relieve everyday stresses. Tension starts to ease as the road stretches out ahead. Mood-elevating endorphin levels increase. In fact, research subjects report that problems, according to the article.* New Options for Nutritional Drink Mix in Canada ALTRUM Nutritional Drink Mix is now available in Canada in single units under the stock number DPS01C.
