An ‘exercise pill’ may replace workouts in the future
Anyone with a job, kids, or heck, a life knows fitting in fitness isn’t always easy. Then there are the folks who can’t exercise at all — be it due to a pre-existing health condition or old age.
If you’re among those groups, but want to reap the physical and emotional benefits of working out, what are you to do?
Turns out, a still-developing “exercise pill” may hold the answer in the future.
A new study published in the May edition of Cell Metabolism identified a chemical compound that helped increase athletic endurance by 70 percent in mice.
Though the benefit may not necessarily translate in humans, researchers say their study results could hold promise for a day when non-exercisers can enjoy a better mood, improved heart health and a longer lifespan — without breaking a sweat.
