Everyone knows that exercise is good. But how much can exercise benefit us? These are some benefits you can get by exercising.
1. Cancer prevention effects
Colorectal cancer increases the risk of developing when you eat less fiber and eat too much animal fat. Another cause of colon cancer is lack of exercise. According to a study, regular exercise lowers the risk of colon cancer by 40 percent. In addition, if a person with colorectal cancer continuously exercises, the possibility of cancer cell metastasis or recurrence can be reduced. Studies have shown that physical activity improves menstrual cycles and lowers the risk of breast cancer.
2. Improvement of blood pressure
When unnecessary substances accumulate in blood vessels, blood pressure rises. Exercise removes these wastes and makes blood vessels elastic. However, muscle exercise with heavy equipment can raise blood pressure, so if you have high blood pressure, it is recommended to refrain from extreme exercise.
3. Reduced bad cholesterol
Regular exercise lowers levels of bad cholesterol (LDL), which leads to circulation disorders. On the other hand, the level of good cholesterol (HDL), which plays a role in sending cholesterol accumulated on the walls of blood vessels to the liver, plays a role in raising the level.
4. Relieve anxiety and depression
Regular exercise acts like a cure for depression. It is said that you can relieve stress and boost your joy through exercise.
5. Strengthen heart function
Aerobic exercise that increases heart rate (heart rate) through fast walking or jogging will strengthen heart function.
6. Rise in metabolic rate
Exercise not only burns calories accumulated in the body, but also increases the "metabolism rate at rest" to help burn more calories even when resting.
7. Increased joint movement
Exercising to increase flexibility makes it easier to move your body as your rigid and stiff joints loosen. Therefore, the pain that occurs during activity or inflammation that causes arthritis is also reduced.
8. Deep sleep
Moderate exercise improves the quality of sleep. If you exercise at medium intensity about six hours before going to bed, fatigue gradually builds up and you are in a good condition to sleep. Excessive exercise or exercise just before bed can cause sleep disorders, so be careful.
9. Increased confidence
When a strong, slim body and balanced muscles are created through exercise, activity becomes stronger. In addition, as it is full of vitality, confidence can increase and interpersonal relationships can improve.
