Exercise is a natural way of maintaining health and preventing disease. Research proves, being active every day can keep you from the risk of disease. Starting from this, exercise can be said to be a drug expressing the benefits of exercise:
Improves brain power: Regular physical exercise can improve concentration, creativity, and mental health. This is because exercise can increase the amount of oxygen in the blood and accelerate blood flow to the brain.
• Helps delay the aging process: Research has shown that simple exercises such as walking regularly can help reduce mental decline in women over 65 years. This exercise does not have to be done at high intensity, just a walk around the house
• Reducing stress : Exercise can reduce anxiety, and even further, can help you control anger. Exercises like aerobics can improve your heart's ability and make you deal with stress more quickly. Activities like walking, swimming, biking, and running are great ways to reduce stress.
• Increases endurance: If you like to do sports (although not too long but routinely and done in a relaxed manner), then these activities can increase good hormones in the brain such as adrenaline, serotonin, dopamine and endorphins. This hormone role in upgrading body endurance. Endorphins are substances that are produced by the pituitary gland and are located under the brain. The benefits of endorphins are as pain relievers. Research by Scottish scientists shows that there is a good feeling after exercising between 30 minutes to 1 hour. People who exercise regularly can produce endorphins. Endorphins can also be produced when someone feels happy. A study shows that when someone laughs it stimulates sympathetic nerves to produce endorphins which can relieve pain.
• Exercising every day makes you mentally healthier, clear-headed, reduces stress and triggers feelings of happiness.
So we as humans must continue to carry out sports activities, so that our bodies are healthy and protected from all bodily ailments. And remember that exercising is smart, exercising too much is also not good.
