Exercise impacts blood & bone cells


A recent study out of McMaster University in Ontario Canada found that exercise impacts the action of stem cells in mice.  The scientists in the study separated the two groups of mice into an exercise group and a sedentary group that did no exercise.  They discovered that exercise stimulated stem cells to form into new healthy bone and blood cells.  The stem cells in the sedentary mice formed into fat cells much more often.  Once again, here is proven science showing how exercise turns on processes that lead to better health.

  2. Stem cells are cells that regenerate in our body to form new tissue or repair organs.

  3. Mr. Recker,
    With your positive attitude and enthusiastic energy, you need to produce some 30 minute exercise videos for different age groups -- young children, older children, and adult seniors! With reminders on eating right. Appropriate background music with a good beat would be awesome :)
