Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: Not exercising makes your body age faster, but staying active can actually slow that process down. On the other hand, there aren't any medicines that can do what exercise does for aging.

Conclusion: Exercise is currently a more effective or promising method for slowing the physical effects of aging than any pharmaceutical option.

Reasoning: While exercise has been shown to slow down aging-related physical changes, there are currently no drugs that show promise for achieving the same result.

Analysis: Treat the premises as absolute facts and look for a synthesis of the information provided. Since the stimulus establishes that exercise works and drugs don't, the most logical conclusion will likely contrast the effectiveness of physical activity against pharmaceutical interventions. You should look for an answer that bridges the gap between the proven benefit of exercise and the explicitly stated lack of promise in drugs. Avoid any answer choice that introduces new information not supported by these specific comparisons.
