"McMaster researchers have found one more reason to exercise: working out triggers influential stem cells to become bone instead of fat, improving overall health by boosting the body's capacity to make blood."

Learning a lot in classes today, (psychology and biology) both focusing on nerve systems and how our body and cellular functions react to exercise.

Bottom line: exercise is very, very important for humans!

This sounds pretty significant in halting the progression of osteoporosis or even just as a boost to folks who think 'I can't exercise'
