Exercise is a key ingredient for a healthy life and is an integral part of our daily routine. Although it can sometimes seem difficult or tiring, exercise has a multitude of benefits for human health and well-being.
One of the key benefits of exercise is improved physical health.
Regular exercise in particular contributes to:
- Reduction lower blood pressure on hypertension. Systematic aerobic exercise as a first line of defense along with diet, followed by medication, can regulate the body's blood pressure.
- Increase muscle strength and endurance. Physical exercise (anaerobic and resistance exercise) improves physical capacity and performance of the body.
- Improving flexibility and agility. Through constant stimulation and training of the muscular system, the human body becomes more flexible and agile, and the range of motion increases.
- Slowing down osteoporosis. The contribution of endurance exercise, in particular, to increasing bone density and thus preventing the development of osteoporosis in old age is very important.
- Prevention/restoration of muscular atrophy. Through the constant stimulation and alertness of the muscular system, exercise helps against muscle atrophy.
- Improving balance. Training with balance exercises usually has immediate results in this direction.
- Reducing the risk of falls. With resistance and balance exercises by strengthening the muscular system and with an appropriate diet rich in calcium and vitamin D to reduce osteoporosis and strengthen the muscles, the risk of falls is significantly reduced.
- Protection against coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, hyperlipidemia (referred to as metabolic syndrome), and protection against cancer. By exercising 30'-40' for 5 times a week, the likelihood of developing one of the aforementioned conditions is greatly reduced.
- Slowing down biological deterioration. The contribution of exercise to the development of healthy "new" cells is remarkable.
In addition to physical health, exercise also improves psychological health. In particular, it can help reduce stress, anxiety and depression, as well as increase self-esteem, confidence and resilience.
In addition, it improves endurance and performance in daily activities and demanding routines.
It's a way to feel good about our bodies, healthier and stronger, ready to face anything and any challenge that comes our way.
Exercise acts as a magic elixir that strengthens us internally and externally!
