Welcome to the Get Fit Guys' quick and dirty tips to get moving and shape up.

Before we dive into this topic, we need to understand the basics of a thing called

Coroidal Neovascularization, or CNV.

Now according to Medscape.com, coroidal Neovascularization, or CNV. Now, according to Medscape.com,

coroidal neovascularization describes the growth of new blood vessels

that originate from the coroid through a break in the bruck membrane

into the subretinal pigment epithelium, or sub-RP-E or sub-retinal space, which, okay, basically

means that there is a harmful overgrowth of blood vessels in the eyes. Symptoms of

caroidal neovascularization include colors losing their brightness, colors appearing differently in each eye,

distorted vision, loss of vision without pain, sizes of objects may appear different in each eye,

and flashes of light or flickering may occur in your central vision. Now knowing that, you can see

that when researchers at the University of

Virginia School of Medicine discovered that exercise can reduce this issue by up to 45%, in mice

anyway, they were pretty excited. The paper is called voluntary exercise suppresses caroidal neovascularization in mice, and it is the

first experimental evidence which shows that exercise can reduce the severity of macular

degeneration, which is a leading cause of vision loss. A researcher Bradley Gelfand, PhD, told Science Daily this. There has long been a

question about whether maintaining a healthy lifestyle can delay or even prevent the development of

macular degeneration. The way that question has historically been answered has been by taking surveys of people, asking them what

they are eating and how much exercise they're performing. The problem with that is people are

notoriously bad self-reporters, and that can lead to conclusions that may or may not be true.

This study offers hard evidence from the lab for the very first time. So to determine the
