Exercise Why ?

Scientific evidence that proves that regular exercise 150 minutes per week, which is about 30 minutes five times per week has health benefits that extend well beyond any potions and can help prevent obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, some cancers, and a host of other unpleasant conditions. Also vastly improves the quality of your emotional and mental life, and even helps you live longer.

No matter how good or bad you feel at any given moment, exercise will make you feel better. And it goes beyond just the “runner’s high”—that rush of feel-good hormones even a single bout of exercise—30 minutes of walking on a treadmill—could instantly lift the mood of someone suffering from a major depressive order. 

And even on those days when you have to force yourself out the door, exercise still protects you against anxiety and depression, studies have shown. Moderate exercise may help people cope with anxiety and stress even after they’re done working out. 

Exercise burns calories while you’re working out. The bonus is that when you exercise, the burn continues after you stop“afterburn”—that is, the number of calories you burn after exercise.

Worried about “losing it” as you get older? Working out regularly will help you stay “with it.” The evidence is insurmountable that regular exercise helps defeat age-related mental decline, particularly functions like task switching, selective attention, and working memory.  

Studies consistently found that fitter older adults scored better in mental tests than their unfit peers. What’s more, in stroke patients, regular exercise improves memory, language, thinking, and judgment problems by almost 50 percent. 

Even if you meet just the minimum of amount of physical activity—(30 minutes, five times per week), you’ll live longer. A giant study in the journal PLOS Medicine shows that when different types of people started exercising, they lived longer.
