In the busy schedule of today’s world, everyone is dealing with severe changes in the body because of the lack of exercise. The changes are usually bad for health. If the exercising proportion of one’s body is not properly done, they can face severe disease and conditions such as obesity. On the contrary, regular exercising can lower the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
Many more health problems can occur due to the lack of exercising. Other studies shows that exercise in adolescence can reduce risk of cancer and all-cause mortality. But newest study shows that exercise can be possible even if they don’t have enough time for it. ‘Exercise Pills’ made it possible.
An experiment was conducted by Ismail Laher, of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, and Shunchang Li, of Beijing Sport University in China. The several exercise-mimicking-drugs were experimented on the chosen candidates. They found out that each time, AMPK is activated inside with a small molecule. This can lead to the treatment of various diseases such as type 2 diabetes.
After many research and studies on them, they found out that these pills are certainly beneficial. They did not find any side affect initially, yet they carried out their journey. “However, we expect that as we gain an improved understanding of the molecular mechanism by which exercise induces beneficial effects, we will likely gain increased confidence in creating exercise pills that have minimal side effects with much-improved efficacy,” they add.
Usually a normal human being is needed to work out for 150 minutes intensely, each week. Even 75 minutes of vigorous intense activity is efficient enough. But everyone is aware of the fact that rarely anyone meets the expectation.
Thus, Authors says that this is very beneficial for people who are supposedly busy in their life. Also, Laher and Li concluded by saying that this pills can indeed offer much benefits in one’s life, but they are certainly not the substitute of physical exercising. They will not work on increased cognitive function, bone strength, and improved cardiovascular function just like the physical exercise does.
