Cutting to the chase, what's so special about exercise? A few years ago I went to a fascinating lecture where they examined this in mice. There are many changes that occur, but they focused on mitochondria. Doing things like jogging or swimming increases the number of mitochondria in your cells. If you stop exercising then the number of mitochondria diminish. By "artificially" increasing the number of mitochondria in mice via cell signaling manipulation, they created mice with no special training that had the endurance to outlast mice that had been on a regular training schedule. I don't recall the lecturers talking about what effect this might have on obesity. We like to think of mitochondria as the "energy furnaces" of cells, and simply having more might help to burn away more energy at a basal state. Even if it doesn't, allowing someone to exercise for hours, without having to go through the weeks and months of building up exercise tolerance, would certainly allow them to burn off more energy even if simply having a greater basal mitochondria count would not.

Exercise is more like burning excess fats rather than increasing BMR, I believe. When you are exercising, you'll demand more ATP than usual, thus you have all your reserves in form of fats. So using your reserve fats will decrease your weight.

Hmmm.... I just prefer exercise that those things.... I don't know.. I just feel like even endorsing them to patients..... Personally, I don't take supplements ( vitamins etc) but rely on my own body's to become strong and resistant to the common infections..... I've been working in an infections ward for six months with wearing a mask and not a scar was seen in my X ray nor unusualities in my lab works...

So doctors and medical professionals in my general extended family are wishing me luck for my licensure exams 3 weeks from now. They also told me that I need to work harder because the fact that I repeated a subject and got held back a year means I'll have inherent difficulties finding training unless I'm like in the top 20 of the entire country for that exam.
What a nice depressing thought.

That is my favorite subject. With excellence in pathophysiology, you can actual diagnose a patient base on the clinical manifestation. The thing is, you can only suggest that to the physician, but this means very handy in their part. Physician sometimes are having headache with the diagnosis especially that we lack new technologies here, that is why our suggestion are very much appreciated. Atleast we can give them ideas, right?

Technology Really Is Making You Fat (But Not How You Think):
"It's lazy to point out that technology makes us lazy. Of course it does. The entire idea of technology is predicated around an efficiency whose end is specifically a decline in human exertion. You know, lazy. But technology's actually making us fat for another reason altogether." See: http://gizmodo.com/technology-really...u-th-966147894 |

Because I'm lazy. haha.. Seriously, I'm the laziest nurse in the world. All I want is to eat and sleep, play games. I'm so much aware of its impact to my health, but I can't help it. I really love to eat and sleep, just that. If given the freedom, I can sleep more than 16 hours a day.
