Turn on Your Healthy Genes
Fitness Tip
Scientists have discovered exercise loving genes that help prevent weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease by clearing fat and sugar from the bloodstream. Just 30 minutes of walking can activate these genes.
Being inactive for 24 hours can turn the genes off. These healthy genes work by making proteins that quickly and efficiently change the food you eat into fuel for your muscles.
Triglyceride levels in people who exercised were up to 50 percent lower than in those who were sedentary. That means the triglycerides got metabolized faster, lowering the risk of high cholesterol.
Marc Hamilton, PhD, says, "If people saw how just one day of being sedentary increases disease risk, we'd have a lot fewer couch potatoes".
