Comments on: Exercise can dramatically reduce YOUR chances of heart disease, even if started later on in life… http://naturalhealthontheweb.com/mangano-minute/blogs/?p=6 Health News and Commentary from Frank Mangano Sat, 05 Feb 2011 17:59:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Tim http://naturalhealthontheweb.com/mangano-minute/blogs/?p=6&cpage=1#comment-2 Tim Sat, 22 Jul 2006 01:41:36 +0000 http://naturalhealthontheweb.com/mangano-minute/blogs/?p=6#comment-2 frank, I agree with you 100%. Everyone needs to wake up and realize that exercise is the key. The problem is, from a public policy point of view, the powers that be have this catch-22: Get the public to do something and as a result, get a small improvement in health, and presumably a decrease in health care costs, or take the risk of having a high drop out rate by telling them to exercise more and exercise harder. The agencies keep cutting back their exercise recommendations and yet most people are STILL couch potatoes. I suppose something is better than nothing, but the underemphasis of exercise and the overemphasis on drugs is getting out of hand. Just take this youth-restoring hormone therapy, a once per week injection, rub on some crème, pop some pills, get a nip here and a tuck there, have some fat liposuctioned, drink a few specially formulated shakes three times a day, staple the stomach, slap on a patch, and there you have it: the truth of the matter is, you have to get off your butt and move if you ever want to enjoy true optimal health and energy! use it or lose it frank, I agree with you 100%.
