Exercise Revolution
The amount of fat your body carries is partly determined by genetics,
but researchers at the Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden found
that exercise could play a role in switching on or off certain genes that have to do with fat storage,
reports the New York Times. Researchers sucked fat cells out of dozens
of sedentary but healthy Swedish men and then subjected them to a
six-month regimen of spinning or aerobics classes twice a week. At the
end of the six months, the men had dropped weight and were healthier.
But many of the genes in their fat cells had also been altered, some
having to do with fat storage and the risks for developing obesity or
diabetes, the Times reported.
