Good Morning
This
article was sent to me by one of our members and it was so good, I just
had to share it. In the article the author speaks to why exercise is so
important and lists the multiple benefits we receive by exercising
regularly.
Here are just a few
- Exercise builds muscle which improves your strength and endurance, this gives us the energy to enjoy activities like dancing, hiking and sledding to name a few.
- Bones thicken and strengthen under the influence of weight-bearing and resistance exercises, thus reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
- Joints become more flexible.Strengthening the muscles around joints protects them and eases arthritis symptoms.
- Exercise protects against stroke and cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and heart attacks.
- The nervous system functions more optimally. Mood, attention, learning, and memory improve.
- Regular physical activity extends your life. Research has shown that people who follow federal guidelines for physical activity reduce their risk of dying by 25 to 35 percent.
