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.
