To say it is a very serious study from Harvard University … Exercise as an elderly person – A team of evolutionary biologists and biomedical researchers from the famous American university – which also included Aaron Baggish, the cardiologist of the American national football team – a few days ago presented a series of evolutionary and biomedical evidence showing that keeping active even in old age is foreseen precisely by that complex and wonderful mechanism which is evolution. According to scholars, we human beings have evolved to remain active all our life and doing physical activity later in the years causes the body to use the energy it accumulates with food in the right way, instead of using it against itself.
