“Exercise May Be the Most Potent Medical Intervention Ever Known” – The Ringer

“I think of it as an intervention as a doctor. Exercise is just the single most important intervention you can think of for your health. There are plenty of other important ones. I’m sure we could talk about diet, we could talk about sleep, we could talk about other things. But I truly believe that nothing is more important among those than physical activity and exercise. And that there are deep-seated reasons within our human history to believe that that’s a reasonable assumption to make.”
