It turns out, according to a recent study, that over-exercising can cause slugglish mental responses, poor decision making and brain burn out. Well, if ever I heard a great excuse for being a couch potato, this is it. Oh wait, they just finished the report by saying that this finding only applies to extreme athletes. Regular people should keep exercising...but maybe I won't take any chances.
The other study says that dog owners live longer (probably because they get exercise walking their dogs). It also says that patting a dog can be good for you. I do not intend to become a dog owner - been there, done that - but I shall continue to pat friendly dogs that I encounter on my elevator rides. Every little bit helps, right?
