>"..."A novel study of hikers in the Alps made the intriguing discovery that 
different types of exercise had different effects on fats and sugars in the 
blood.

Going uphill cleared fats from the blood faster, going downhill reduced 
blood sugar more, and hiking either way lowered bad cholesterol.

Both types of hiking are beneficial, but one may help diabetics more than 
the other, said Dr. Heinz Drexel of the Academic Teaching Hospital of 
Feldkirch, Austria, who reported the research at a recent American Heart 
Association conference in New Orleans."

Great news Jim. Except that all the hills around here have both an up and a down. How do I choose one, without getting the other?
