Yep that's right, apparently
being unfit has many benefits for the human body. Our chromosome are relatively stable for most of our lifetime, but our mitochondria is highly variable across individuals and may impact human health, so say researchers. Genomes are ever changing, not from generation to generations but even within our lifetime. Researchers are first to identify the extent to which the editing processes of RNA code can vary across a large number of individuals. As you know the
mitochondria is the power station of our cells and the more power a cell needs, the more mitochondria you'll find in it. Researchers have found a correlation between mitochondrial RNA and our basal metabolic rate, the rate at which we are able to convert food into energy. They looked specifically at mutations in the RNA of the mitochondria. This means that because of this irregularity, the DNA and the level of modification of the mitochondria will result in cellular energy being produced. While this research may give the unfit a slight excuse for not getting in shape, there is still much research to be made about these correlations.
It would be pretty interesting to see exactly how much more energy it would give to an individual. Does have more fat really give us THAT much more where it could be beneficial? For now i'll stick to casually lifting weights and the occasional Pizookie my girlfriend makes, yum.
