I’m heading out so don’t have the time to give this the attention I’d like, but this from Prof. Dr. Andro over at SuppVersity is interestingly similar to last Sunday’s QOTD re the usefulness of exercise:
It does rather appear that [exercise] helps to rebalance our natural ability to regulate energy intake - maybe partially due to an increased availability / accessibility of existing body fat stores due to exercise induced increases in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation capacity and insulin sensitivity.
By all means check out the full post. I think that the good doc is spot on with the notion of “physical culture” and the idea that it “does not take 8 days, 8 weeks or 8 months, it takes a lifetime.”
