What if there were a drug to treat every illness, across all
body systems, proven potent against heart disease,
depression, arthritis, PMS and erectile dysfunction — even
in chronic diseases such as asthma, dementia, and certain
types of cancer? What if it had no side effects, was
completely free, readily available, and worked for
everyone? Every single person who took it decreased
her risk of premature death and raised his quality of life.
Would you want it?
In a healthcare system that spends
17% of GDP, roughly $2.7 trillion, mostly on disease
treatment, how do we save money and prevent illness? By
increasing the use of the world’s most effective preventive
medicine: exercise. Jordan D. Metzl, MD,
explains how everyone can maximize their daily dose in his
groundbreaking new book, THE EXERCISE CURE. In THE EXERCISE
CURE, Dr. Metzl — nationally renowned sports medicine
physician — offers malady-specific and well-researched
exercise prescriptions to help readers stay healthy, heal
disease, drop pounds, increase longevity, and transform
their lives. Today’s medical system is largely
focused on fixing rather than preventing problems, and many
treatments carry significant side effects.
Cholesterol-lowering drugs are linked to frequent muscle and
joint problems, anti-hypertensive drugs like Beta-blockers
cause headaches and diminished energy, and Prozac and other
popular anti-depressant medications carry multiple
consequences including sexual dysfunction. Dr. Metzl knows
that exercise is inexpensive, powerful medicine that has
benefits in prevention and treatment of disease without
disturbing side effects. Even in older adults, daily
exercise has been found to prevent dementia by generating
neuron development in the hippocampus, the memory center of
the brain. Combining the latest data and his proven
motivational skills, Dr. Metzl addresses the common maladies
troubling millions. He discusses our cardiovascular,
pulmonary, metabolic, musculoskeletal, neurologic,
reproductive, and endocrinologic body systems, with special
sections on sleep problems and cancer prevention, presenting
the science behind the role of exercise as medicine. Then,
he details fun, fat-torching, life-prolonging workouts that
can be tailored easily to any fitness level, beginner to
advanced, and provides nutritional information, including
meal plans for healthy eating and disease prevention, as well.
