Wanted - Safe Nutrition and Physical Activity for Dangerous Times

By Natalie Pyles

'Why Nutrition and Exercise go Hand in Hand'


Nutrition and physical activity go hand in hand. The working body demands energy-yielding nutrients to fuel activity. And, it needs protein plus supporting nutrients in order to build lean tissue. Exercise requires the body to dip into its stores of fuel- namely, fat and glycogen (sugar). By using up fat and building lean tissue, exercise pushes body-composition toward lean and thus, raises the body's rate of energy expenditure (metabolism).

To the contrary, a lack of exercise, or an "exercise deficiency" can lead to accelerated development of the diseases associated with sedentary life- cardiovascular disease, obesity, intestinal disorders, apathy, insomnia, accelerated bone loss, etc.
