exercise

Exercise increases lifespan by an average of one to four years for people who engage in moderate to difficult exercise routines. Those additional years will be healthy ones because exercise benefits the heart, lungs, bones and muscles. Even moderate exercise has warded off many dreaded diseases.Walking briskly for three hours about half an hour with a day of rest per week can reduce your chances of developing many chronic health problems.Exercise benefits your brain too. Exercise causes the production of the brain's endorphins the body's own morphine-like substances that promotes a "feel good" effect.Thus, exercise may alleviate depression and enhance self-image as well as the quality of life. It can promote weight loss. Of course, it is well known that exercise can aid in the prevention of a number of diseases, including heart disease and diabetes.Exercise can benefit thegene level. A new evidence was presented in an article entitled, "Endurance exercise as a countermeasure for aging", published on Aug 20 in the online journal Diabetes. Researchers concluded that the reduction in insulin sensitivity that often occurred in one's later years might not be an inevitable consequence of aging.We have assumed all along that we will become increasingly less sensitive to insulin as we age. In fact, there is a notion that "you will eventually become diabetic if you live long enough".We have believed for a long time that the only way to prevent this condition was by severe calorie restriction. We have seen that underfed animals live longer.This new study was done by researchers at the world-famous Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, Minnesota. They sought to determine whether long-term endurance training could improve lowered insulin sensitivity.From this, the exercise is very good for everyone and give effect for our lifespan. also, it give many benefit for our health, body, brain and others. so, we must spare a few minute, at least, three times in a week for exercise.
