The researchers also found correlations between the makeup of people’s modules and their health. People who exercised and had similarities in various protein levels also tended to have desirable blood pressures and insulin responses, with the opposite true for the inactive volunteers.

‘Exercise does so many good things, the next frontier is to understand how.’ says Douglas Seals, a professor of integrative physiology at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who oversaw the study.

Being physically active is good for us as it raises fitness, reduces disease risks, lengthens life spans, improves heart health and, in multiple other discrete ways, makes us stronger and more well and happy.
