Exercise is the only thing I know of that improves ALL forms of mortality. From cancer, to gunshot wound, to heart disease via plaque in your gums, exercise simply prepares your body to handle stress better. Everything works just a little more efficiently, which pushes the dial in the right direction. Personally, I've started hiking a lot. I've been running for years, but I never really loved it. Once I learned how hard to push myself, I liked it a lot more, but now I just disappear into the mountains for a couple hours a day. I CAN'T GET ENOUGH. It's so easy to work out now, because I'm scrambling up that mountain in hopes I get to see ANOTHER new plant I've never come across before, or get to see another deer and fawn standing in the trail, just 20 yards ahead, or get a moment of actual, real peace and quiet. People, find a method of movement that works for you. It doesn't matter if it won't turn you into an athlete - any movement is better than none. Anecdotally, I used to sweat ALL THE TIME. Now, my body temp feels like it's regulated perfectly. Other people comment how hot it is outside, and I think to myself that it's actually quite cool. Obviously shedding a few pounds helps, but there must be more to it.
