Fat is Not All Bad!

You have fat cells in your body.  You knew that but did you know that it isn’t all bad?  You need to have fat on your body for your metabolism but that ability to assist you decreases over time unless…you exercise!! Exercise keeps your fats cells doing the good work it was meant to do!

Life-long exercise offers powerful compensation for the inevitable decrease over time in your fat cells’ ability to help you maintain a healthy metabolism.

Surprise! Fat cells are not all bad. Body fat (not around the belly, but in moderation all over) is not some passive lump o’ lipids; it’s an active organ that interacts with other organs. Plus, its cells’ tiny power plants, called mitochondria, provide energy so you can run, jump, dunk — and fight off destructive inflammation.

A Danish study published in the Journal of Gerontology compared fat cells’ mitochondrial performance in young and older untrained, moderately-trained and highly-trained guys’ cells. It showed that although even highly trained older men’s mitochondria were less able to respire (produce energy) than younger men’s, they were still able to respire more than twice as much as mitochondria in untrained older men’s cells.

So, even if you’re slowing down, make sure you get a regular schedule of physical activity. You want to stoke the fires that keep all cells — including fat cells — healthy by walking 10,000 steps a day, strength training and moving, moving, moving. It’s no time to retire. You want to respire and perspire, so you can inspire.
