The power of
exercise as medicine is getting more and more attention. In a recent study in the Journal of Obesity
(www.hindawi.com/journals/jobes), a group of scientists from the West Virginia University School of Medicine summarized all studies in the literature where the effect of exercise and
diet on lipid lowering was compared to the control condition of usual care or
no treatment in overweight and obese adults.
This kind of study (known as a meta-analysis) can be extremely powerful
since it combines many more subjects than is usually possible to include in a
single study.
The analysis
of more than 859 men and women with body mass index
≥25 kg/m2
showed that exercise and diet
were effective in reducing several important components of the lipid profile
including total
cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides. One
important measure – high density lipoprotein cholesterol was not affected.
The findings of the study are clinically important because they imply that the exercise performed by study participants reduced the risk of death from heart disease by up to 8%. This is one more piece of strong
evidence that reaching for your running shoes before – or at least at the same
time as – you reach for the pill bottle might be a very wise move.
That is main thing about exercise as medicine is getting more and more attention. All kind of exercise are making strong muscles as well as strong joint of human body.
