Physical exercise is clearly one of the most important aspects to consider when assessing a person's overall health, according to studies. Do you understand why?

​

We created a list of the most essential advantages of regular exercise with the assistance of our nutrition specialists. They discussed how regular physical exercise may benefit practically all bodily systems, from your immune system to your blood and circulation systems to your mental health. Exercise can also assist you in avoiding physical injuries. Before we go into the benefits of physical exercise, let's define a fitness plan.

​

What exactly is a Fitness Plan?

​

Simply said, a fitness plan is a calendar of scheduled physical activity sessions. These workouts might be as simple as a walk around the park or as demanding as interval training or resistance training.

​

Resistance/Aerobic Exercise:

​

• Lifting weights and other comparable activities

• Increases lean muscle mass and strength

• boosts /maintain testosterone levels

Cardiovascular/Aerobic Exercise:

​

Can be rigorous (for example, jogging) or more easygoing (i.e. walk in the park)

• It burns calories and aids in weight loss.

• Diabetes can be reduced by engaging in regular cardiac activity.

• Your exercise requirements might vary dramatically depending on your age.

Exercise Habits and Insulin: Lower Your Risk of Diabetes

​

Exercise boosts your body's ability to tolerate carbs by increasing insulin activity. When you exercise, your muscles extract blood sugar, or glucose, from your blood and into your muscles. The more you exercise, the less insulin you use to control your blood sugar levels. If your insulin and glucose levels are lower than usual, your body will restrict the quantity of carbs turned into fat, reducing fat storage and increasing fat burning. People who do not exercise regularly are more likely to acquire diabetes, a condition in which their bodies have trouble using and/or manufacturing insulin.

​

Finally, exercise is not simply good for your muscles. After exercise, the IGF-1 protein is produced and induces neurogenesis, or the development of new neural connections in the brain. In addition to its neurological benefits, this protein promotes muscular growth and increases the quantity of oxygen given to the brain.

​

Reduce the risk of disease

​

This is one of the most significant advantages of regular exercise. We can improve our immune system and cognitive health just by exercising.

Some fitness gurus believe that workout routines might boost your immune system because you're breathing harder than normal. Panting, or breathing more forcefully than normal, might possibly wash microorganisms out of our airways, lowering the likelihood of infection.

In addition, hard activity can help our bodies improve their lymphatic system. This system is critical to your body's circulatory and immunological systems. Because this system is not linked to the heart, it requires another source to provide the essential "pumping" motion to keep the flow going. Regular exercise encourages your muscles to expand and contract, which is one of the most efficient methods to ensure your immune system is cleaning out hazardous toxins and germs.

​

When someone has finished a high-intensity or long-duration workout, we often detect a decrease in white blood cell count. As a result, someone who has recently completed a marathon is far more likely to acquire a cold than someone who has merely gone for a brief jog.

​

We recommend that our patients add at least 15-20 minutes of high intensity activity or 30-45 minutes of moderate intensity fitness into their daily routine.

​

Prevent Physical Injuries

​

This may appear contradictory, as more active persons appear to be more prone to harm themselves when exercising. While more active persons are more likely to have an unintentional injury, such as a strained muscle or a few blisters, they are also strengthening their flexibility and strength. As a result, physical activity is extremely beneficial to our elderly patients.

​

When you're on a fitness regimen, you're less likely to trip or twist an ankle while reaching high on a shelf, for example. If you exercise on a daily basis, you are far less likely to have a physical injury.

​

Making a fitness plan is one of the most effective methods to take charge of your health. Simply exercising for 30 minutes to an hour each day can lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, accidents, diabetes, and other conditions.
