Intense exercise causes stress.
Stick to light exercise.

Intense exercise damages cells in ways that
cumulatively impair metabolism. There is clear
evidence that glycolysis, producing lactic acid
from glucose, has toxic effects, suppressing respi-
ration and killing cells. Within five minutes,
exercise lowers the activity of enzymes that
oxidize gluco,se. Diabetes, Alzheimer's disease,
and general aging involve increased lactic acid
production and accumulated metabolic
(mitochondrial) damage.
