I caught up on my magazines while I'm was on vacation and found some information that will make you feel good. This came from the May edition of Shape.
"Sure you can lose weight through diet alone, but new research shows that if you don't exercise too, you could be missing out on a bevy of health benefits.
In a study published in Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise, one group of women worked out five days a week and reduced their calorie intake and the other just slashed calories. "Everyone lost about 10 percent of their body weight over six months," says Enette Larson-Meyer, PH.D., R.D. the studies lead author and assistant professor at the University of Wyoming. "But those who exercised also saw an improvement in their cholesterol and blood pressure levels. "What's more they upped their life expectancy by about 19%."
And you thought you were working so hard at exercising and eating healthy to go shopping in your own closet.
What will you accomplish with all those extra years in your life?
