Scientists may soon have a pill to help people who do not exercise. The pill could also help people who like exercise. The scientists work in California. Their pill could give the same benefits to the body. Just like it gets from sports, like running, swimming or playing basketball. It could make us healthier, and give us more strength, a better mood, a healthier heart and a longer life – all with no exercise. The pill increased the performance in mice by 70 percent. This is good news for people who want to exercise more but couldn’t.
The scientists looked at how exercise changes the body. A researcher said,"It's well-known that people can improve their patience and endurance through training. The question for us was…Can we replace training with a drug?" They found a chemical that copies the good effects of exercise without exercising. The chemical made the body burn fat instead of sugar. This improves your strength to the same level as someone who exercises.
