The Evils of Exercise -- Revealed At Last
The Evils of Exercise: One of the most diabolical and well embedded
conspiracies of all time comes to light http://www.failedsuccess.com/index.p...s_of_exercise/ For years we have been force-fed the supposed benefits of rigorously exercising our bodies. Lifting weights to improve our muscles, running miles to improve our cardiovascular system; all in the search of that holy grail which is the perfect "fit fashion" for which we were all surely designed to find. Billions of dollars are spent on "improving" our bodies, so why would the benefactors of this fortune want to share with you the truth? The truth about the effects of exercise on your mind, body, and soul. It's time that people learned just how destructive "benefits" of exercise really are. New research and information has been coming to light as brave souls risk their lives and careers to bring forth the knowledge that the exercising industry does not want you to know. An excerpt from an incredible study by one such individual, Scott E. Roeben, and his research team: Yes, for years the hazards of exercise have been kept from us. But from here on out, we're not going to take this lying down. Or, perhaps, that's exactly how we should take this. Lying down, that is. Because only when we're lying down-in a state of inertia-can we fully fend off the ill effects of exercise. And what, specifically, are the ill effects of exercise? First, let's talk about injuries. Exercise-and sports requiring activity strikingly similar to exercise-are the source of an astonishing array of injuries and ailments. Some of the typical injuries brought about by exercise are abrasions, lacerations, Achilles tendonitis, tendon ruptures, adhesive capsulitis, sprains, fractures, arthritis, athlete's foot, blisters, bursitis, calf strain, cartilage disorders, clavicle injuries, concussions, cramps, groin pulls, hamstring tears, heel spurs, herniated discs, Impingement Syndrome, ligament injuries, metatarsal stress fractures, mitral valve prolapses, Osgood-Schlatter Disease, overpronation, turf toe, water intoxication and whiplash. The list goes on and on. Yes, exercise is great for us. Like swallowing mercury is good for us. Like copulating with scorpions is good for us. Or like electing a moron President is good for us. No, exercise is the opposite of good. In fact, you might say exercise is like electing a moron as President. You may not realize how much damage it can do until it's too late. In our mistaken belief that exercise has health benefits, we've apparently lost our ability to reason. Let's use logic to make a comparison between the human body and, say, a car. The more you drive a car, the more it depreciates. It wears out, it falls apart and components become worn or broken. Well, our bodies are like cars. Cars don't "get into better shape" the more they are used. The same is true of our bodies. Let's say we take two identical cars-the first we put in a warehouse, covered by a tarp. The other, we drive-day after day, week after week. Say we drive the second car for 30 years. Now, at the end of the 30 years, what if we compare the car we drove to the car in the warehouse? Dramatic difference. This simple analogy alone should be enough to dispel the exercise myth. Exercise damages us, causing decay and decline. Being sedentary conserves precious energy, protecting bones and muscles by not exposing them to the potentially disastrous effects of "movement" or "activity." To punctuate the point, this excerpt from a source which we now can't recall, but it makes the point nonetheless: Athletes, amateur and professional, are more susceptible to emotional, traumatic and degenerative diseases than the classic "couch potato." The rationale is simple-the more you use something, the higher maintenance it requires and the greater chance of it breaking if it's not constantly repaired. This enlightening study continues as the possibility of loss of IQ and diminished mental capacity resulting from continued exercise are examined: Exercise has other detrimental effects we don't entirely understand. For example, there is a good deal of evidence that exercise actually makes people stupid. That's right. It's easy to find examples of this. Take, for example, professional athletes. They, arguably, do the lion's share of exercise in our society. That being the case, let's take a moment to hear some actual quotes from a few of these athletes: "I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first." (New Orleans Saint George Rogers) "Left hand, right hand, it doesn't matter. I'm amphibious." (Charles Shackleford, NCSU basketball player) "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father." (Golfer Greg Norman) On his coach: "He treats us like men. He lets us wear earrings." (Torrin Polk, University of Houston) "Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein." (Joe Theismann) On whether he had visited the Parthenon during his visit to Greece: "I can't really remember the names of the clubs we went to." (Shaquille O'Neal) So, not only does exercise threaten our welfare physically, it's evident it diminishes our mental capability as well. If you value your IQ, avoid exercise at all cost. Because you are likely to have been brainwashed by those deeply invested in keeping you exercising (and in danger), it's likely you are still not convinced. Here, then, are a few more facts about exercise that have been culled from reputable publications. · If you push the body too hard, you increase free radicals and cause oxidative damage to body cells. At some point, someone who understands physiology will explain exactly what that means. For now, just know that we would not include this information if it did not support our position. Probably. · Urinary incontinence affects many female athletes who engage in high-impact exercise. Why aren't more women ****ed about the exercise conspiracy? · Between 1990 and 1996, injuries from active sports increased by 54% in people age 65 and older. · Compulsive exercise may cause anxiety or depression. (Especially among those who have to watch fat people exercising in those body-hugging Spandex outfits.) · The average life span of London residents in the middle of the 19th century was 27 years. For members of the working class, that number dropped to 22 years. ("Work," of course, tends to require physical movement, otherwise known as "exercise." The upshot? Exercise and die early.) · A recent study looked at members of health clubs, and found people who do intense workouts infrequently-once a week or less-are at greater risk for a heart attack. · An estimated 1.5 million heart attacks occur every year. Of these, 75,000 (or about 5%) occur after heavy exertion, leading to 25,000 deaths. · According to Kenneth Copper, who started the aerobics craze, exercising too much may increase the risk of getting cancer and heart disease. Copper noticed many of his friends who were long distance runners had passed away from cancer or heart disease. Cooper and his staff conducted a study to see if there was a possible correlation between running and health problems. They discovered outdoor runners are exposed to all kinds of free radicals or pollutants from the air they breathe while running. · Eating disorders among young female athletes is estimated at 15% to 62%. · Some types of exercise can damage the inner ear, causing dizziness, ringing in the ear, motion sickness or loss of high-frequency hearing. The thought of exercise has always made me nauseous-now I see there's a medical basis for this reaction. · Overheating, or hyperthermia, can be a brought about by exercise. Overheating can cause mild to life-threatening conditions. · About half of people who participate in high impact aerobics experience minor injuries at least once a year. People under the age of 18 experience minor minor injuries. And their counterparts who work in coal mines experience minor minor miner injuries. But we digress. When you think about it, it really is common sense that the demands of rigorous physical activity on the body would have long lasting consequences to not only our physical well-being, but on our mental and spiritual well-being as well. The sheer evidence compiled by the brave researchers involved in this study is overwhelming and supports the position that exercising is indeed detrimental to all of mankind. The sooner we leave behind this mentality of physical improvement and move towards a more zen-like existence that comes from prolonged sleeping, inactivity, and a constant restful state; the sooner our society will reach a new pinnacle of happiness and enlightenment. -- 1) Eat Till SATISFIED, Not STUFFED...
