According to a new study from Stanford University School of Medicine, regular running slows the effects of aging, slows heart attack deaths, and early cancer deaths.
“The study has a very pro-exercise message,” said James Fries, MD, an emeritus professor of medicine at the medical school and the study’s senior author. “If you had to pick one thing to make people healthier as they age, it would be aerobic exercise.”
