A Colorado researcher tested rats who were forced to run on a treadmill--
and those who could run whenever they wanted.
BOTH lost weight.
But the rats who were forced to exercise experienced stressed immmune
systems-- while those who did as they pleased, STRENGHTENED their immune
system.
In Pittsburgh, researchers say just a week's worth of moderate excercise
can help reduce high blood pressure.
The study, done with African American women, shows that even just walking
