BENEFITS OF EXERCIING
May/090
• Boost to your emotional well being – Even light exercise can help boost your mood. Also, more intense exercise can stimulate the release of mood elevating compounds called endorphins.
• Reduce risk of heart disease – If you are overweight or obese, you are more prone to heart disease, as you have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. You can improve your cardiovascular function if you partake in exercise.
• Improvement to memory – If you exercise more regularly, you move blood and oxygen to all your body’s organs, including the brain, which is great for revitalizing your mind.
• Reduced risk of Diabetes – Physically active people are less likely to develop Diabetes, as exercise increases the body’s ability to use sugar for energy and thereby decreases the need for insulin.
• Other benefits include: - Improved sleep pattern, increased strength, improved energy level, pain relief, longevity and increased bone density.
The only way to make exercise part of your life is to build this into your everyday life. Many people go for a brisk walk, gentle jog or try an exercise class. Everyone is different, so you must choose something that you find enjoyable. As a fully pledged adult, you should try to get your heart rate up at least four to five times a week.
