Exercising regularly keeps our heart healthy and even reduces the risk of developing cancer and other diseases by targeting the heart cells' powerhouses - the mitochondria, finds a new study.
Exercise may Reduce Retinal Degeneration: Study
Researchers at the Emory Eye Center and the Atlanta VA Medical Center have found that moderate aerobic exercise helps to preserve the structure and function of nerve cells in the retina after damage.

One estimate even claims that 250,000 deaths every year in the U.S. are at least partially due to a lack of exercise, but how this all happens in the body at the molecular level has perplexed researchers - until now.
The team found that laboratory mice (stand-ins for humans) that exercised for 54 weeks on a treadmill-running regimen had higher levels of certain proteins in the mitochondria of their heart cells than mice that did not exercise.
Aerobic Exercise Preserves Nerve Cells in Eyes, Delays Retinal Degeneration After Damage
Moderate aerobic exercise helps to preserve the structure and function of nerve cells in the retina after damage and may be able to slow the progression of retinal degenerative diseases.

Vitamin Supplements Hinder Muscle Functioning During Exercise: Study
Vitamin C and E supplements retard production of energy cells at the time of exercise, disallowing the cells to meet with the increasing demands of the muscle, says a research.

Study Says More Exercise can Lower Mortality in Breast Cancer Survivors
A new study finds breast cancer survivors who meet the exercise regimen recommendations of 2.5 hours of moderate intensity physical activity per week, sufficiently lower their risk of mortality.
