If we are not moving our bodies then they are silently \u201cwasting\u201d away from lack of use.<\/p>\n<p><em>We must understand that the body is a \u201cmachine\u201d a divine machine<\/em> and as a machine it must be used properly or it will rust and decay just as a car that has been sitting without being used\u2026without being loved turns to rust and decay, it atrophies.<\/p>\n<p>Cars are meant to move and serve\u2026just as <a href=\"http:\/\/reclaimyourlongevity.com\/articles\/exercise\/pair-interval-or-sprint-training-with-minimalist-strength-training-for-maximum-results\/\">your body is meant to move <\/a>and serve.

Blood sugar levels regulate downward and remain more stable, stored fat is reduced, insulin sensitivity improves, blood pressure comes down and the heart gets stronger.<\/p>\n<p>Even your vascular system gets into the act as it starts building collateral arteries around blocked vessels improving blood flow to your heart and other organs as well. Your immune system gets stronger\u2026you\u2019ll heal faster and recover quicker and your metabolic rate increases thereby burning more calories and producing more energy.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll not only <a href=\"http:\/\/reclaimyourlongevity.com\/articles\/reduce-disease-risk\/the-controls-to-aging-are-on-the-inside-not-the-outside\/\">feel younger,<\/a> but you\u2019ll be physiologically younger on the inside too.<\/p>\n<p>Movement\u2026ala proper exercise, slows and even reverses many components of the aging process and is probably the single most effective way to lengthen life\u2026it is the closest thing to an anti-aging pill and it\u2019s free!<\/p>\n<p>If you really want to benefit and reverse the aging process then regular strength training\u2026strengthening those muscles and bones is the most effective thing you can do to shift the biomarkers that effect how young you look and more importantly how young you feel.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Muscles are the engine of the body. It is where energy is released and power is produced\u2026it is where movement originates.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Simply increasing the demands on the muscular skeletal system causes the body to respond by maintaining stronger muscles and bones.<\/p>\n<p>Truth is, strength in muscles and bones as we age is not an option\u2026it is mandatory and necessary for longevity and health. Increasing strength is the proven way to make the aging process turn around at the genetic levels within the cells.<\/p>\n<p>Those who age well seem to be far younger in years, retain lean tissue mass and have a longer \u201cquality\u201d of life with fewer illnesses and better overall mental functioning.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>So, what are you waiting for?
