• Called ExPlas, it involves the blood plasma of young adults who exercise regularly.  Here's what we know:
• A Norwegian scientific team is injecting blood plasma from healthy, young, exercising adults into people aged 50 to 75 years old with early-stage Alzheimer's Disease
• Their hope is not to just help non-exercising young people but also the elderly and those with disabilities
• A survey of 100 countries found that 33% of people don't exercise
• An exercise pill or injection could replicate the beneficial results of exercise
• Exercise is known to release beneficial hormones
• The key to the pill or injection is what hormones should comprise it
• By injecting the blood plasma of healthy, young exercisers, the Norwegian team is transferring all of the beneficial hormones
• Many experts believe that this group of Norwegian scientists are bringing us close to an effective exercise pill.
