Regular exercise is the best way
to ensure a long and healthy life. Exercise decreases high blood pressure
and the risk of heart disease by improving cardiovascular health. Exercise
helps people lose
|
| unhealthy extra fat and maintain a
healthy weight. Regular exercise raises HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels and
lowers LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels. Researchers also believe that
exercise decreases the risk of developing breast and colon cancer. In
addition, regular exercise significantly decreases the risk of developing
type 2 diabetes and is of great benefit to those who already have diabetes,
sometimes eliminating the need for insulin. Older women benefit from
exercise because it decreases the risk of osteoporosis by increasing bone
density. Arthritis sufferers who might be tempted to avoid activity because
of their pain actually benefit from exercise by keeping their joints
flexible. Exercise helps reduce stress and can help prevent stress-related
diseases. It also promotes a sense of happiness and well-being both by the
release of calming hormones and by the sense of self-esteem that comes from
having a well-toned body. |
