Exercise benefits in a pill?
Posted on Dec 11th 2007 6:45PM by Martha EdwardsWish you could get fit without having to do all that pesky working out? I doubt you're alone -- lots of people are looking for a 'quick fix', something that will help them get healthy without actually having to change the unhealthy habits that they're so fond of.
So here's some news that might interest you: Researchers are looking into how to give people the benefits of exercise in a pill form. The pill, which is a concentrated form of Resveratrol, can potentially give you the same metabolic boost that a workout can, and it's been shown to ward off diseases in mice much like exercise does.
But is replacing exercise with this 'pill' a good idea? I think not. Seriously people, what's wrong with getting off the couch and going to the gym every once and a while? You'll feel great if you do -- I promise. So stop with the excuses and do something good for your body -- the hard way.
