Not sure about the mole rat, but bats cheat by shutting down their metabolism (basically hibernating) most of the time.

Not sure about the mole rat, but bats cheat by shutting down their metabolism (basically hibernating) most of the time.
- kolev 11y agoWhy do people try to boost their metabolism (or demise) these days then? I strongly believe that being physically lazy (i.e. not expending much energy and keeping metabolism slow), but mentally active, and walking 30-45 minutes a day is the healthiest lifestyle one could have (if they can afford it).
- astazangasta 11y agoBecause heart disease is the main killer, and obesity and poor vascular fitness resulting from inactivity are major risk factors. Plus people want a tight ass.
- kolev 11y agoI don't exercise and I'm fine although genetically I have 30% higher risk of obesity, so, just don't eat more than you have to and find pleasures in creation and discovery, in socializing, not in eating!
