Eating disorders and exercise addiction
Research shows that people with an eating disorder are nearly four times as likely to become addicted to exercise.
Exercise addiction is defined as an obsessive approach to fitness that could harm someone's health and social life.

A healthy relationship with food
Exercise addiction could be more likely in those with eating disorders because of a fear of gaining weight.
People with eating disorders have a higher risk of mortality. It is then important for people to develop a healthy relationship with food. Much of the information available is unhealthy, such as starving yourself for a few days or going on a juice diet.

How muscle maintenance affects longevity
Muscle maintenance is vital to ensure healthy ageing.
In research with mice, researchers found that aerobic exercise changed how the animals consumed oxygen, metabolised sugar, and how tired they were when they weren't exercising. The mice were leaner and had fewer signs of inflammation.
Cells capable of regenerating tissue
The research team isolated muscle tissue and focused on satellite cells - stem cells that live in skeletal muscle and regenerate muscle throughout adulthood.
These cells are activated continuously, but over time become fatigued and stop renewing. Endurance exercise increases proteins involved in quieting and activating these satellite cells, which enable self-renewal or differentiation.

Calories burned every day
The calories we burn every day include not only movement but all the energy needed to run the thousands of functions that keep us alive.
Exercise and health
Exercise is like a wonder drug for many health outcomes: reducing blood pressure, reduces the risk of diabetes of heart diseases and slows developing cognitive impairment from Alzheimer's and dementia.
But as for losing weight, it helps more in weight maintenance than in losing the actual weight.
Human energy balance
Exercise alone has a modest contribution to weight loss. But when you alter one component, cutting the number of calories you eat in a day to lose weight, doing more exercise than usual, this sets off a cascade of changes in the body that affect how many calories you use up and, in turn, your bodyweight.

Taking up exercise could change your desire for specific foods.

The effects of physical activity
- Scientific studies reveal that a few people will lose a great deal of body fat when they start exercising. Others will gain, and most will drop a few pounds.
- Studies show that most types of exercise increase appetite in most people, tempting us to replace calories and preventing potential fat loss.
- Other evidence suggests that physical fitness may affect people's everyday responses to food. Some past studies show active people of normal weight displayed less interest in high-fat, calorie-dense foods. They may still enjoy the same food, but will not actively seek it out.
