Benefits of Exercise
- Cardiovascular - Exercise increases the amount
of blood your heart ejects with
each beat and the total volume
of blood leaving the heart. In
turn, this increases the amount
and efficiency of oxygen
reaching your muscles and
organs. Exercise also lowers the
heart muscle’s demand for oxygen
because it uses the oxygen fuel
more efficiently.
- Cholesterol - Exercise increases the level of
“good cholesterol” (HDL) in your
blood while simultaneously
lowering the level of “bad
cholesterol” (LDL) and dangerous
fats or triglycerides.
- Brain function - When exercising, your brain
makes a substance called
brain-derived neurotrophic
factor, which is a type of brain
food. Studies have found that
active people are more likely to
be better adjusted and perform
better on tests of cognitive
function. Scientists believe
this exercise induced “brain
food” is the reason.
- Diabetes - Exercise improves the body’s
response to insulin and lowers
the risk of developing diabetes
by 30-40%; it can also decrease
a diabetic’s risk of dying of
heart disease by 40-50%.
- Blood pressure - Many studies have shown that
regular exercise lowers your
blood pressure, and thus the
work your heart has to do.
- Erectile dysfunction -
For some of the same reasons
exercise is good for your heart,
exercise is great for sexual
function. Physiologically,
erection is all about healthy
blood flow, and men who exercise
have been found to have 41% less
erectile dysfunction than those
who sit on the couch.
- Cancer prevention -
Exercise can decrease the risk
of breast cancer by up to 60% by
lowering levels of two of the
ovarian hormones linked to
breast cancer, estradiol and
progesterone. Exercise also can
decrease the risk of colorectal
cancer by 40% and decrease the
risk of dying from prostate
cancer by 50%.
