In this episode, Dr. Alice Roberts explains how all the organs of the body work in unison, and explores the benefits of exercise. Using a treadmill, she demonstrates how regular exercise can counterbalance the natural deterioration of our fitness levels as our bodies age. She also takes a look at how the latest medical technology, such as 3-D scanning, can help doctors diagnose illness - but points out that medical advances in treatment are only half the story since prevention is also very important. Her conclusion is that the best chance of having a long and happy life is to eat a balanced diet and get plenty of exercise.
