Involve physical activity, energy consumption and accumulation. These situations are equally necessary for a healthy life. In addition, physical activity is one that recharge your batteries and lack of energy. I do not want to start here a theory to look in greater or lesser extent, with those you’ve already read, but, in the midst of this “weird” that bring energy and physical movement tone, there is a whole physiological process, complicated and complex. What you must remember is that you are doing a good thing!

Here are 18 advantages of exercising regularly (some funny):

1. The exercise, made constant, even at lower intensity, decrease by up to 40% the risk of a cancerous disease.
2. Reduce blood pressure for a long time (48-72 hours).
3. Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and myocardial infarction.
4. Reduce by half the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
5. Reduce what doctors call “bad cholesterol” and stimulate the replacement of the “good cholesterol”.
6. Physical activity is a valuable adjunct in the fight against obesity.
7. Reduced by 50% the risk of developing type II diabetes.
8. Reduce the risk of depression
9. Exercise significantly reduced risk of osteoporosis.
10. Support and develop muscle strength (and nobody knows when you need it …).
11. Relieves back pain by toning your muscles.
12. Compensates the absence of other satisfactions and needs ( I’m not thinking about sex, I think the pleasure of eating chocolate!).
13. Improve respiratory function.
14. Improves coordination and stimulates reflex responses (so important in the infernal traffic, driving, for example).
15. Improves your general balance.
16. It works like a “medicine” against insomnia, that induces sleep (but only when you need).
17. Diminish the effects of stress.
18. Develop self-confidence (and youknow the benefits of self-confidence).

Another argument in favor of exercise is that such activity fight against aging effects.

Americans showed a study by scientists of the Faculty of Medicine, Stanford University, California, result of research carried out for 25 years on subjects who performed exercise on a regular basis. Those subjects suffered from a smaller number of medical conditions, had a longer active life and have experienced 50% less risk of dying around the age of 60 years than inactive people. The conclusion was that the benefits of regular physical movement are even higher than they currently believe.

A secret: the study showed that long-term benefits for the body occur if you do least four hours of physical exercise per week.
