Exercise! Its the Life-Saving Activity Many Dont Want to Do
Exercise! It's the Life-Saving Activity Many Don't Want to DoBy Paul A Phillips
It has been said, and quite rightly, that exercise is one of the key factors when it comes to disease prevention and anti-aging, since it has a multitude of amazing benefits. Unfortunately, many people would rather stay in their habits of not doing much exercise and get sicker or even die.
How much exercise?
A typical recommendation is to do at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. I like to start the morning off by taking a short run so that I end up panting; taking in some fresh air and getting rid of the stale. Couple this with some good nutrition you'll then feel a lot more alert and charged up for the rest of the day. You may be fully aware that physical activity burns off excess calories and improves heart and blood circulation, however what is not so well known is that there are many other hidden benefits.
Doctor Lorraine Day reported a study on women and how 4 hours of exercise per week spread out evenly in time distribution was able to reduce breast cancer by a whopping great 66%. This amazing revelation was reported in the media in a low-key publication and was even ignored by many sources. The only real interest shown in the media was that of Nike training shoes! Once again, greed overshadows benevolence: After all, the pharmaceutical companies don't raise profit shares by touting good old organic exercise...
Exercise has been shown to reduce diabetes type-2 with some amazing results, and there's much more...
Heydid you know that...
...Through exercise you can for instance.
-Enhance your cognitive ability. For example, evidence has shown that intelligence can be increased by improving brain cell coordination through regular bouts of activity. A really good book to read is 'Smart Moves' by Dr Carla Hannaford.
-Aid brain cell replacement. A 'USA Today' journal (Sept 21 2005) shows that some experiments revealed how brain cells were more readily made following exercise. Consequently, exercise has been recommended as one way of preventing Alzheimer's disease.
-Improve erectile dysfunction through better blood circulation.
-Lower your blood pressure.
-Combat ageing by a range of things such as by:
1.Preventing reductions in muscle fibre. 2.Restoring lung function3.Combating hypertension4.Delaying the onset of osteoporosis5. Serving as a form of detoxification
-And that's just the tip of the iceberg in terms of exercise and it's potential.

,Exercise - Some of the Benefits
Exercise - Some of the BenefitsBy Dave Tupniak
It seems like everyday there is a new article or study that is published that shares with us another benefit of exercise. The aim of this article is to summarize some of the more important benefits of exercise and why you should start an exercise or workout program as soon as possible.
Probably the most fashionable reason people exercise is to lose weight or maintain the body shape they currently have. A major benefit of exercise is that it increases the body's metabolic rate. Not only does your body become more efficient at burning calories during exercise, however the body also adapts to have a higher metabolic rate at rest, increasing the amount of calories that are consumed even when we are sitting around and watching the television. Remember, the simple weight formula is that our weight balance is equal to the calories we take in minus the calories that are burned. The more exercise we do, the greater the odds of losing more weight.
Another benefit of exercise is the profound effect that it has on the mind. Exercise not only increases blood flow to the brain, increasing alertness and memory capabilities, however it also causes the relief of endorphins and the neurotransmitter, serotonin. There is evidence to show that exercise can decrease one's stress levels, reverse or decrease depression and anxiety, improve sleep, and produce a general improvement in overall mood. There have now been studies released to show that elderly patients who suffer from Dementia, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease may substantially benefit from an exercise or workout program by slowing the progression of brain degradation.
Exercise is amazing at preventing disease processes from taking hold of the body. There is a growing pile of evidence that exercise can decrease the probability of developing heart disease, stroke, diabetes,cancer, osteoporosis, and even gum disease. It is beyond the scope of this article to explain the physiological reasons for these effects, however it is important to note that 80% of people will die from either cancer or heart disease. Regular exercise can greatly reduce the chances that we will succumb to one of these diseases, or at the very least, prevent these disease states from occurring earlier in life. Exercise can also help to boost the immune function of the body.
If one has been afflicted by a disease there is good odds that some regular exercise may be able to slow, stop, or even reverse the progression of the disease. Exercise has been shown to reduce blood pressure, triglycerides, cholesterol, and the tendency for blood to clot in the blood vessels. All of these features are extremely helpful in slowing or reversing heart disease and the chances of a stroke. If afflicted with osteoporosis, exercise can work to strengthen the bones and increase bone density.
Some of the other benefits of exercise are:
- Increase the efficiency of the digestive system which is thought to reduce the incidence of colon cancer
- About a 50% reduction in the risk of a women developing endometriosis
- Increase balance and coordination
- Increased lung capacity
Everybody has different a different motivation when beginning an exercise or workout program or finding motivation to continue one. This list should give you more than enough reasons to get started.

,Exercise For Senior Health
Exercise For Senior HealthBy Stephanie Rice
Exercise is a key ingredient in a healthy lifestyle - whether you are 20 or 70. Physical activity can improve strength, balance and brain function as well as prevent disease. Along with building a strong cardiovascular system, the advantages of exercise are significant at any age, and can be especially important to maintain senior health. Studies have shown that regular exercise for seniors is vital to senior health and to the prevention and treatment of many medical conditions including Alzheimer's disease and Osteoporosis. Some seniors become less active as they grow older, however the importance of regular exercise to their health increases as they get older. Learning low impact exercises and strength training techniques can improve bone structure and brain function.
Senior Health, Exercise, and Alzheimer's disease
Although there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, the onset may be slowed or even prevented through exercise. Cardiovascular activity may increase blood flow to areas of the brain that deal with memory, improving brain function. It's recommended that you do some sort of cardiovascular activity three or more times a week to prevent Alzheimer's disease. Some common cardio activities include:
• Walking - 30 to 60 minutes 3 or more times a week.
• Running - 30 to 60 minutes 3 or more times a week.
• Bicycling - 30 to 60 minutes 3 or more times a week.
• Swimming - 30 to 60 minutes 3 or more times a week.
Senior Health, Exercise, and Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is common among seniors and is a major senior health care issue. As we age our bones naturally become weaker. The calcium needs at age 50 increase dramatically and many people don't get enough calcium in their diet or vitamin supplements. Regular exercise can treat and even reduce the risk of Osteoporosis. Impact and pressure put on the bones from exercise cause them to strengthen to support the extra weight, boosting bone mass. The following exercises can help treatand prevent Osteoporosis, improve senior health, and reduce the need for senior health care:
Weight-Lifting - By lifting weights you'll put more pressure and weight on your bones, leading to a gain in bone mass. Weight lifting also increases metabolism and blood flow to the brain for enhanced brain function. Do this activity two to three times a week for 30 minutes.
Cardio - Cardiovascular activity such as walking, running, and climbing stairs will force your bones to grow because of the impact and weight placed on them. Walking outside is more helpful to maintain balance and mobility than walking on a treadmill or using exercise equipment emulating stairs. Seniors interested in lower impact cardio activities can ride a bicycle or elliptical machine. Cardio activities should be done four to six times a week for 30 to 60 minutes.
Stretch - Stretching not only improves your flexibility, however provides a solid foundation for muscle growth. You'll see muscle gains faster and easier when stretching.
Training for Balance - Balance is vital as we get older and unfortunately only decreases with age. Training for balance is important for the prevention of falls. Yoga and tai chi are great activities for improving balance, flexibility, and muscle control.
