This (arguably unhelpful) phrase seems to be taught across schools all over the world. What are some other phrases like this that are common ?

Very interesting, wonder how this compares to just exercising

[-] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago

From what I’ve read it is claimed to regenerate mitochondria, be quite quick to do so you save time but other forms of exercise achieve different results like burning fat, cardio etc.

Wonder if you need good mitochondria to put on fat? I can only put on muscle

[-] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago

It’s more about metabolic health rather than weight loss or gain. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of cellular biology and not having enough or poorly functioning mitochondria leads to all sorts of problems like inflammation and metabolic disorders like diabetes. A well functioning mitochondria should give more energy and better performance as well as better health.

Can definitely tick the inflammation box lol
