Exercise in a Pill? | Vantage with Palki Sharma | Subscribe to Firstpost

American scientists have created new compounds that can regulate the impact of exercise. These new compounds can be used to make "exercise pills". Exercise pills are drugs that can replicate the benefits of exercise. Who are these pills for? The benefits of exercise pills are aimed at people who cannot exercise. For instance, the elderly, people with muscle-wasting diseases, or movement disorders. But there are challenges here. Exercise pills have the potential for abuse or side effects. Exercise pills may be overused by people for cosmetic purposes. But if they are safe for humans, they could be a game-changer. So, which one will it be? How close are we to creating the first exercise pill? Palki Sharma tells you.

First we invented things to reduce physical activity and boasted it as technological advancement.

Then started running to gyms for "healthy lifestyle".

Now pills for exercise too.

Humans are the funniest creatures.

Why not Yoga. It is a static exercise and costs nothing.

[thetruthwillsetyoufree]

I have a better pill. The pill of get up off the couch and freaking move!

[YoungCaesar-JJ]

I don't doubt them. It could be true. Tomorrow they will make one Pill = One meal. Which will have all the nutrition your body needs. Food is fun, exercise is fun. Just eating 6 pills a day. 😅not fun guys.

Its not that good at the moment. It has the issue of resulting in cancer when higher doses are given. That beibg said, people shouldn't be apprehensive about an "exercise pill". It would be great for those above their 40s and also help those with chronic pains. It also helps people to exercise better by boosting endurance. I hope that we get a pill like this in our lifetimes.

It May Be Helpful To Several With Obesity.

[sritamanandieconomics]

I feel that pill will be very costly.... Why not exercise?

[Aechellies]

i don't see this an issue, if i can have this, i can spend good amount of time on other things.

[AbhayKumar-qbkc]

Another money making racket just like when Indian desi was made to be culprit for the cholesterol and heart attacks.
Billionaires another attempt to fool as that want to become multi billionaire

[ayushchaudhary]

There is no American medicine withaut side effects..

And there is no alternate for physical exercise..

[kaylaharrop]

It would be us Americans that figure out how to avoid exercise further. Lazy

[sridharanjs]

This will be a failure. The rat does not look healthy. However exercise makes one feel good. This cannot be mimicked.
