Thanks for the article. That's interesting.

Exercise would also help the 20 million diabetics if Americans would just get off the couch.

Karen,

In 1999 my wife and I, both with poor health abandoned our one car lifestyle of 35 years (in favor of none); moved to a community where owning a car is a disadvantage with beach, shopping for basics and a great choice of international restaurants and people to meet al within walking distance via a pedestrian only environment. We (have to) walk everywhere for every thing we need. Our health has improved measurably and I (in my 70th year on this earth) am able once again to work in my profession with enthusiasm!

And we gain potential carbon credits to boot.

What more could one ask for out of life!

We recommend it with our whole heart(s)!

Thanks for posting that.. It only makes sense..

re: ""The Greeks, he adds, were clued into "the mind-body connection." And they probably intuited a basic principle that Western researchers also figured out long ago: aerobic exercise helps the heart pump more blood to the brain, along with the rest of the body. More blood means more oxygen, and thus better-nourished brain cells.""
