Why it’s important to do Exercise or Some Activity
Are you one of those who believe that you have an
ideal body weight and you look fine so don't require to do any activity in your
daily life?
Do read the blog below to debunk the myth.
Physical activity or exercise can improve your health and reduce the risk
of developing several diseases like type 2 diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular
disease. Physical activity and
exercise can have immediate and long-term health benefits. Most
importantly, regular activity can improve
your quality of life.
Exercise helps people
lose weight and lower the risk of some diseases. Exercising regularly decreases a person's risk of developing
certain diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and high blood
pressure. Exercise can
help a person age well. This may not seem important now, but your body will thank you later.
Read below to know in
detail how activity/exercises can inch you closer to better health.
1. Exercise controls weight
Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help
maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories.
The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn.
Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if
you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of
activity is better than none at all. To reap the benefits of exercise, just get
more active throughout your day — take the stairs instead of the elevator or
rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.
2. Exercise combats health
conditions and diseases
Worried about heart disease? Hoping to prevent high
blood pressure? No matter what your current weight is, being active boosts
high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol,
and it decreases unhealthy triglycerides. This one-two punch keeps your blood
flowing smoothly, which decreases your risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Regular exercise helps prevent or manage many health
problems and concerns, including:
- Stroke
- Metabolic syndrome
- High blood pressure
- Type 2 diabetes
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Many types of cancer
- Arthritis
- Falls
3. Exercise improves mood
Need an emotional lift ? Or need to blow off some
steam after a stressful day? A gym session or brisk walk can help. Physical
activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier,
more relaxed and less anxious. You may also feel better about your appearance
and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and
improve your self-esteem.
4. Exercise boosts energy
Winded by grocery shopping or household chores?
Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your
endurance.
Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues
and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart
and lung health improve, you have more energy to tackle daily chores.
5. Exercise promotes better sleep
Struggling to snooze? Regular physical activity can
help you fall asleep faster, get better sleep and deepen your sleep. Just don't
exercise too close to bedtime, or you may be too energized to go to sleep.
6. Exercise puts the spark back
into your sex life
Do you feel too tired or too out of shape to enjoy
physical intimacy? Regular physical activity can improve energy levels and
increase your confidence about your physical appearance, which may boost your
sex life.
But there's even more to it than that. Regular
physical activity may enhance arousal for women. And men who exercise regularly
are less likely to have problems with erectile dysfunction than are men who
don't exercise.
7. Exercise can be fun … and
social!
Exercise and physical activity can be enjoyable. They
give you a chance to unwind, enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities
that make you happy. Physical activity can also help you connect with family or
friends in a fun social setting. So take a dance class, hit the hiking trails or
join a soccer team. Find a physical activity you enjoy, and just do it. Bored?
Try something new, or do something with friends or family.
