A study of male Harvard graduates compared longevity rate of major athlete ( meaning those who lettered in a particular sport), minor athletes ( those who participated but didn't letter), and nonathletes. It was assumed that the major athletes, who presumably exercised the hardest, would have the greatest longevity, but in fact, it was the minor athletes who lived the longest.
What does this means? for starters, when it comes to life-extending physical activity, moderation is best. there`s no need to train like an Olympic athlete, because too much is just bad as too little.
Studies suggest that overexercising actually decreases the number of new brain cells your body creates. In one study, rats that overexercised produced half as many brain cells as rats who hadn't even exercised at all. Of course rats are not people, but researchers theorize a correlation to human overexercising.
The key is to strengthen and maintain your body`s and brains system, not abuse them, which is what an excessive physical regimen does. If you feel pain, you may be working too hard. Slow down and listen to your body. It will tell you what is needs and when you have gone too far.
