Top ten Health Benefits of Exercise

In this article, we're gonna talk about the ten proven benefits to exercise, why am I writing This article because physical inactivity or lack of exercise is a big deal in the world but especially in the United States it's been proven that lack of activity is associated with more mortality all right so technically.
Physical activity and exercise aren't the same things they technically shouldn't be used interchangeably but for our purposes, I'll just say exercise is a more planned form of physical activity now I said exercise improves mortality this is based on a bunch of observational studies. If you didn't know there are different types of studies that can be done observational studies aren't the best quality studies but, it's hard to study exercise because you can't just put people into a certain group for a certain amount of time and then study them over time in these different categories the same applies to studying nutrition and the same applies to studying a lot of different things in medicine what do I mean by that, okay so, there is a study that came out on CNN saying that physical inactivity was worse than smoking now that may or may not be true but, I'm not gonna base my thinking on that one study because I know how difficult these studies are, and you can't come to definitive conclusions based on one study because there is no perfect study especially when it comes to exercise and nutrition, for example, you can't just put people in different groups and study them over time it doesn't work that way you can't just have one group of okay these people are going to smoke but, not exercise these people are going to smoke and, exercise these people are going to not smoke, but they will exercise, and then these people are going to not smoke, and they will exercise those four categories are each separate, but you can't just lump people and force people to do you one of those and then say ok we have 1 million in this category 1 million in that quarter that category and that 1 million that category another million in that category and then say okay we're gonna watch them from the age of 18 to 65 and then study these different groups that would be a great study in theory but has ethically ethical issues because you can't just say to someone hey listen for the study you're gonna smoke for a long time because you know we're trying to get good results here.
Number two, it's been shown to improve the effect on the heart and the cardiovascular system as a whole. So for example, there's less risk of coronary heart attack events meaning less risk of cardiac death, there are improvements in overall blood pressure.
Number three exercises have been associated with improvement of insulin levels, meaning blood sugar control. You're less likely to get type 2 diabetes if you have exercised regularly also nutrition plays a big part in that as does everything else that we're talking about but, we're focusing on exercise in this video so exercise by itself has been shown to have a lesser likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes.
Number four I mentioned earlier prevention of cancer can exercise prevent cancer well the studies have shown there is less likelihood of developing certain types of cancer with routine exercise, this includes colorectal prostate intestinal breast endometrial and pancreatic proven benefit number.
Number five you're less likely to become obese if you are beast you're likely to lose fat so exercise in and of itself will help you lose fat dieting well having a good nutrition plan that will help you by itself lose fat when you combine a good diet with a good exercise regimen those two combined exponentially to help you lose fat, and it's like fat burner poor looking shredded.
Number six decrease the chances of osteoporosis and fractures of the bone this benefit is when you do weight-bearing exercises so when you're lifting weights this increases bone mineral density decreasing the risk of osteoporosis decreasing the risk of fractures, this is especially important for women who are at higher risk of osteoporosis especially as they get older.
Number seven want to quit smoking, well exercise helps you to quit smoking.
I suggest that number eight physical exercise is associated with a reduced risk of gall stones are in your gall bladder well not everyone but, they can form in your gall bladder in this little area that's right. Next to the liver and sometimes those gall stones can irritate the gall bladder and, they can exit the gall bladder through this little canal and when that happens infection can develop there that's known as cholecystitis, no one wants that.
Number nine exercise is associated with improved cognition keeping your mind sharp now may decrease your chances of getting dementia, but the studies are not conclusive regarding that yet.
Number ten reduces anxiety levels reduces stress decreases your chances of becoming depressed now, when you think about it, what happens when you exercise to talk about those runners. But also you get that high from when you're working out with weights or doing high-intensity interval training, what's going on there is you have this surge of norepinephrine, which is like adrenaline you have norepinephrine you have dopamine going you have serotonin all these neurotransmitters these chemicals in Your brain is flowing and, it makes you feel good at that moment you're like woo. And then what happens is you kind of come back down to your baseline, so you get this spike in these chemicals natural chemicals to your brain. And then you kind of go back to your normal baseline where you were after the workout. But then what happens is you do it again. And then you go back to your new baseline, which is a little higher than your old baseline so, I need to do it again and, it'll be higher and a little higher it'll be higher after a while I could do it for 30 60 90 days start having a new baseline up to your brain is feeling good more often compared to where you started so exercise. I recommend every day, if you can, maybe one or two days off. But better generally speaking, of course, everyone is unique; everyone has their genetics, everyone has their own.
