The Many Health Benefits You Gain
from Regular Exercise

As I review the latest research on the benefits of exercise, I am struck by the plethora of consistent evidence pointing to its positive mental and physical health effects. Regular physical activity has been shown to deter the aging process, reverse the progression of medical illnesses, and eliminate stress, anxiety and depression.

It is not clear in response to what lifestyle and dose of exercise the specific health targets are met. However, it has been proven that engaging in a minimum of 3 half hours of exercise a week on a continual basis can serve as a protective measure against adverse health conditions. Research Studies demonstrate that greater benefit is gained from vigorous exercise like dancing, running and skating. But for those who are not able or motivated in that direction, starting with a few minutes of walking, yoga stretches or daily gardening activities can help.
