This obsession with trying to find a pill for just going for a walk three times a week is really what's killing us. Exercise reduces inflammation, changes body composition, helps you sleep better, improves mental state, helps you avoid diabetes, changes your appetite... We were meant to exercise, it's how our body functions properly.
Shortcuts will always have unintended consequences, not the least of which is a diminishing of will-power, which also requires exercise (in a different sense).
- ndsipa_pomu 3y agoWhilst I agree, not everyone is able-bodied enough to exercise - even just walking which is an under-appreciated form of exercise. If it works, this pill could be invaluable for those that are bed-ridden.
- slowmovintarget 3y agoIf this compound is developed into a treatment, I do hope that people who actually need it. I also hope, but would be shocked, that people who should and could just exercise actually don't get it, that we don't have the same circus as with Ozempic. "I don't have to be disciplined, I can just take this pill, lol." The drug companies are rubbing their hands together and licking their lips for the latter, while claiming they're doing it for the former. I believe the scientists are in it for the people that need it, but if this gets developed into a drug or treatment, I have little faith that it will be as restricted as it ought to be.
