It is well known that moderate exercise, as opposed to strenuous exercise, can significantly improve one’s health and make life longer. Different studies have attempted to show how exactly exercise affects one’s health. The credit to physical activity is given for various effects, for example for it’s ability to relieve stress, lower blood pressure, and increase the level of endorphins (brain hormones that increase the feeling of happiness and well-being and also reduce the amount of fat); physical activity increases the fat burning enzymes in the muscles and helps you stay fit and maintain weight loss; it strengthens heart muscles and improves circulation of blood thereby reducing the risk of heart disease; it reduces the level of glucose and cholesterol in blood and calcium in bones (the cause of osteoporosis); it improves your respiratory system, strengthens your lungs and helps to control asthma; finally, it creates the feeling of self-confidence and control over one’s body and life.
