Your Cells Keep a Record of Every Workout You’ve Ever Done, Even If You Stopped Exercising Years Ago
Scientists have found that human cells keep track of past workouts and their associated health benefits, even after years of inactivity. This long-lasting cellular record can help explain why exercise has lasting effects on the body. The research suggests a new understanding of how physical activity impacts overall health.
Why it's good news: It implies that past exercise habits may have more influence over current health than previously thought, and may motivate people to prioritize fitness even if they've fallen behind.
