Regular exercise is known to provide protection against various kinds of heart diseases and strokes, back pain, obesity, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and it can also help in improving one’s mood and thus help in managing stress. As little as 30 minutes of physical activity a day can help make a big difference. If in case one has been inactive for some time, then they may want to begin with less tiring or strenuous activities like swimming or walking, at a pace that they deem comfortable. They can then gradually move on to more strenuous activity.
Exercising on a daily basis can help in preventing strokes and heart disease. This is because it will help in strengthening the heart muscles, reducing the blood pressure, increasing the level of high density lipoprotein (good cholesterol) while at the same time reducing the level of low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol), increasing and improving the working capacity of the heart and lastly increasing and promoting blood flow.
Additionally regular exercising will also help those that suffer from high blood pressure problems. Physical activity reduces excess fat that is present in the body, which is linked to a lot of high blood pressure problems. A reduction in fatness through physical activity will also control and prevent the non insulin dependant type of diabetes.
Exercising is particularly important for those that suffer from obesity. This is because a substantial amount of physical activity will help in getting rid of excessive body fat. This will help preserve and build muscle mass and thus improves the body’s overall ability to utilize calories.
