Glenn Gaesser, professor of exercise physiology at Arizona State University in Phoenix, has been studying this topic for years. So he and colleague Siddharta Angadi dove into the databases and examined everything written about exercise, fitness, dieting, metabolic health and longevity. In total, they found more than 200 relevant studies.
