Book 49: The First Twenty Minutes

If you need more encouragement to exercise, then this is the book for you. Interested in better cognition? Longer telomeres? No shrinking *ahem* gonads?

The book summarizes much of the current research on exercise: that it slows aging, improves cognition, prevents and treats a bunch of diseases and disorders, and improves longevity and the quality of those additional years. I'll take it all!

The book also discusses why exercise alone won't always help you lose weight, why lots of us don't like to exercise, and why being active throughout the day and not just in an isolated bout of activity is most beneficial.
