A new study shows that exercise keeps you fit, and healthier, by cleaning out the 'garbage' in your system at the cellular level.
The New York Times has an easier to read synopsis of the study, which involves mice on treadmills proving that more activity gets rid of the intracellular garbage through autophagy, or 'self eating'.
Dr. Rich O'Neill, Psychologist at SUNY Upstate, says this is more proof that exercise helps ward off heart disease, diabetes, diabetes, dementia, and perhaps some auto-immune ailments---perhaps more motivation to keep active.
