PROVEN HEALTH BENEFITS OF EXERCISE
Exercise can help you lose weight,
but you must do a lot of it consistently. If you weigh 70kg, 30 minutes of
brisk walking or jogging burns about 300 calories, which will be easily
replaced by a small meal. So don't look for fast weight loss products, but
consistent and sustained weight loss product that will drop your weight
gradually, provided you also watch your diet.
If you build muscles (which you
should), “then exercise may even cause you to gain weight, but this is healthy
weight gain”. Apart from
monitoring your BMI, you should also monitor your body fat percentage (which
will reduce as you gain muscle).
Exercise also improves your
cholesterol and triglycerides, improves blood circulation, and reduces the
risks for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, certain cancers and depression.
Exercise makes you feel energetic,
improves your sexual function (especially men) and sex life (for both sexes),
improves your mood, and improves your sleep pattern.
The above health benefits of losing
weight and exercise have been proven by scientific studies. Natural methods can
indeed be proven. We need to extend the studies to other natural and
nutritional therapies. I hope to share some of these in future articles.
So if you are overweight or obese,
the first two things you need to do to regain your health are to reduce at
least 5kg weight, and start exercising.
Losing weight may seem a difficult
task, but it becomes easy if you only target 1kg at a time. Likewise, to
exercise the recommended 150 minutes a week may seem daunting if you have not
exercised at all, and may deter you from ever starting.
So start with 30 minutes, and
gradually increase as you become more fit, and you will soon look forward to
exercising more.
