Why should we exercise?
New research suggests that egg yolks may be part of a heart-healthy diet without negatively impacting cholesterol levels.
Many people avoid eggs because of their cholesterol content, but dietary cholesterol — especially when it’s from a source low in saturated fat — does not necessarily increase blood cholesterol.
Researchers followed 140 adults at risk for heart disease, dividing them into groups that consumed either 12 or more fortified eggs per week or fewer than two.
The study found no significant differences in LDL cholesterol or other markers of heart disease between the groups, challenging the long-standing belief that eggs harm your heart.

This article talks about how may exercise reduce aging by slowing down cellular deterioration and reducing age-related inflammations. The authors suggested that 5’ adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is the main contributor to this effect. AMPK is activated during muscle contractions and nutrient depletion, which takes place when we exercise. This activation on its own is known to extend lifespan in most organisms (Carapeto & Aguayo-Mazzucato, 2021).
