Exercise is an important way to stay healthy. No matter how little, you should definitely exercise your body regularly. Mentioned below are the advantages of exercise.
1. Weight loss
Gaining weight is very easy, but losing weight could be a very big problem. Exercise is very essential for weight loss. The food we eat is converted to calories in the body which are need to be burned. But when this calorie in the body becomes too much, it leads to overweight.
Exercise helps to burn calories especially in a situation where the body is unable to burn as much calories as it consumes. The accumulation of fat cells in the body is the major cause of overweight and exercise also helps to burn fat cells in the body.
2. Increased body strength
Regular exercise increases the ability of your body. You would notice that at first when you begin exercising, there are certain exercise routines that you couldn’t complete. But as you continue, and you’ll realize that those routines which seemed impossible are now very easy for you.
This is a typical example of how exercise helps you to increase your body strength. When you exercise regularly, you would realize that your body is now capable of easily doing certain things which it could not have done before.
3. Improved quality of sleep
Sometimes when you are having problems sleeping, exercise could be the solution. When you are sleeping, your body uses that time to regain the lost energy. This regaining of lost energy by the body is impossible if the body isn’t tired. Exercise, especially at night, makes the body tired and very desperate for rest. This desired rest is now achieved while sleeping, making you have a long deserved good sleep.
4. Boosts your immunity
The immune system of the body is the greatest weapon the body uses to fight diseases. Exercise boosts your immunity, thus reducing your risk of being sick. Exercise is also known to reduce your risk of suffering from certain diseases like heart attack, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes, dementia, hip fracture, colon cancer and osteoarthritis.
