Diet and exercise to become obsolete soon
"Ignoramus13955" wrote in message ... http://www.nynewsday.com/news/health...alth-headlines The subject of this post is an embellishment, but the results so far are very interesting. Should we be looking to being fit, lean, and strong couch potatoes? Would you take a drug that would make you lean, strong and boost your endurance? I would, if there was no side effects. Umm sure, if you're lazy and exercise is a chore. No pill is going to replace things like the sunshine and breezes that make being outdoors pleasant for some of us, nor will a pill give the feeling of accomplishment when reaching a new fitness goal (lifting more, running farther or faster, making that 8 ft. putt, etc.).

This reminds me of an article I read recenlty about a school-aged
child who was far stronger than the rest of the students in his age group, had greater endurance, and less body-fat. Almost kind of a "Super-Boy". Apart from his physical advantages, he was no different mentally or socially for the other kids. He looked and acted like any other child on the playgroud (albiet a really fit child). After extensive medical investigation, they found that he had a genetic mutation (which I think had something to do with protiens). Most of us have a control mechanism in the body which regulates muscle growth - a switch that says 'OK, that's enough muscle growth for now'. This child was either missing that control, or it functioned differently for him. His uncle, who worked in construction, was known to be able to hoist huge, heavy slabs of concrete and perform other amazing strengh tasks. The researches speculated that this mutation might not be that rare, but rather more common (found in something like 2-4% of the population?) and largely goes undetected since it requires some very elaborate tests to determine, and there are no know ill effect or symptoms of this mutation. I wonder if this new research is related? Unfortunately, I can't remember the medical publication that the article appeared in, or the doctors involved. The child's identity was kept anonymous. Should we be looking to being fit, lean, and strong couch potatoes? Would you take a drug that would make you lean, strong and boost your endurance? I would, if there was no side effects. |
