Exercise really is the miracle pill. In a new study in Dallas, researchers found that a program of vigorous exercise was more effective than medication in treating Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Sydrome (POTS), nicknamed "the Grinch syndrome" as it relates to the heart being too small and weak. 10 out of 19 patients were actually cured by the course of treatment.
This adds to the long, long list of conditions that exercise is effective in treating or preventing -- everything from high blood pressure to fibromyalgia to dementia.
Phrased another way, there are a great many things that can go wrong with your body if you don't exercise.
