Putting your workouts to work for you
I know I prattle on about exercise a lot. But it really is the one thing that will keep your body feeling younger. It will also reduce your risk of all sorts of diseases--including the most deadly ones, like diabetes and heart disease. If you ask me, it's impossible for a doctor to talk too much about exercise. And I certainly can't overstate its importance. But while it's true that any type of exercise is better than sitting on your butt, not all workouts are created equal. It's one thing to get my patients to move. It's another thing altogether to get them to do what is specifically going to help them.
