Why Exercise Is Hard

MinuteEarth: Why Exercise Is Hard

• When people aren’t physically active, we’re more anxious, we sleep worse, and we have fuzzier memories and shorter lifespans than if we were active.
• We also have a higher risk of cancer, heart attack, diabetes, obesity, stroke, Alzheimer’s, depression, and tons of other health problems.
• Way back in the day, we spent tons of energy finding enough food to survive. So ancient people who took it easy when they weren’t searching for food replenished more energy than people who also did pointless physical activity.
  • As a result, they had more energy for hunting and gathering, and were more likely to survive and reproduce.
• There are studies that this trait is passed along in our genes.
