How exercise increases life span:

Research shows that exercise increases the levels of a molecule that protects telomeres.

6. Improved sleep
Moderate exercise can have similar effects as a sleeping pill.
Try exercising 5-6 hours before you sleep.
Exercise raises your core temperature and when your temperature drops back down to normal a few hours later, it tells your body it's time to sleep.
