Why is exercise good for your body?

Answer 1

Regular exercise is good for your health. A moderate amount of activity performed three to five days per week can:

• Improve your heart health
• Improve your Heart disease risk factors
• Improve your strength and feeling of well-being

Answer 2

Exercise is good for every system in the body . The cardio-vascular system is made up of the heart, lungs, blood vessels and lymph system. The heart is a muscle that works and rests in a short cycle from before birth to death. Like any muscle, it grows fit (meaning works to capacity with ease) when challenged with exercise or grows lazy (has no reserve capability) with lack of exercise. The muscles that pull the lungs open so air rushes into them can only be exercised by periods of over use (exercise) to build up strength too.

Muscles build strength and size because of small amounts of damage done to them by overuse (exercise). Larger sized muscles need more energy and so burn more calories even at rest. Bones answer the challenge of being pounded by hitting the ground during running, jogging, or walking by building up in strength. The matrix of the bone fills in with calcium and minerals. Of course, one must have a good diet to provide the building materials! The musculo-skeletal system thus benefits from exercise.

Exercise also aids our mental health. Endorphins are released during exercise. This is the cause of "runner's high". Our metabolic rates increase during exercise and stay up all day if we exercise in the morning but if you only have time to exercise in the evening, you will still gain benefits.

Exercising outdoors adds another benefit-exposure to the sun. Twenty minutes of sun exposure, every day, gives the body what it needs to produce vitamin D. Just ten minutes of sun exposure gives the pituitary gland the boost it needs. You will sleep better too.

Fat is stored energy and will burn up during exercise. The omentum is an organ located in the front of the abdomen. Fat stored there gives the familiar "pot belly". This extra load produces pressure on the organs and causes high blood pressure. Now you can see that exercise lowers high blood pressure. A reduction in body size (weight lose) can reverse Diabetes in some cases.

There are so many ways to exercise that boredom can be avoided by changing from day to day. Weight lifting should not be done two days in a row; the muscles need a day to repair the damage done during exercise. The soreness felt in muscles is caused by lactic acid produced as a side effect of exercise so changing to a different exercise gives time for the lactic acid to be carried off. Walking is as effective as jogging or running and puts a lot less strain on joints. So mix it up; walk, swim, bike, weight lift, yoga, tennis.

If you want to know more about a given form of exercise, get a book on the specific subject. Lending libraries have many from which to choose. Alternatively, do more research on the internet. If you have been sedentary, start out with an easy does it attitude. Yoga and walking are good start up exercises and can be done inside during inclement weather.

Cardio walking is excellent for general health, heart health (or for weight loss). It is easier on your body than other forms of cardio such as running or jogging and it is sustainable long term. Walking for health can be done well into your dotage.
