Stemming the tide
My friend, Richard put me onto this book... Younger Next Year The basic principle: using exercise to increase the production of Cytokine 6 , the master chemical for inflammation and decay, which in turn triggers the production of Cytokine 10 , the master chemical for repair and regrowth of the body. Exercise triggers a controlled amount of decay and returns a greater amount of growth. In so doing it stems the tide of decay and, if you are active enough, reverses it. The book helps you separate the issues of aging (inevitable) from decay (chronic in today's society). An easy, motivating read. BTW, I went to the gym today and bought a 3 month pass ;-). ~a
