We all know that exercise is a very important part of our daily routine – whether it’s simply walking for 30 minutes on the way home from work, or engaging in sports, or lifting weights in the gym. Why?
Well, exercise increases your feel-good hormones called endorphins, taking away negative feelings such as stress and depression. In addition to that, it can also reduce your risk of diseases and conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and even cancers. Humans in all ages should at least increase physical activities every day to maximize the benefits.
But what happens if you have or had poor fitness in early adulthood? Read this interesting article by Marie Ellis on Medical News Today:
Poor fitness in early adulthood linked to future death, cardiovascular risks
Though the headline may sound like an obvious conclusion – we all know better physical fitness leads to better health outcomes – a new study published in JAMA Internal Medicine examines the role of cardiorespiratory fitness and its changes in young adulthood on long-term cardiovascular outcomes; previous research has only investigated this link in older adults. Read more…
It’s not really surprising that poor fitness in early adulthood causes diseases, because the human body is designed to work. A study a few weeks ago has even found that 30 minutes of exercise a day is not enough, it should be at least an hour or more.
So what should you do? If you’re a young adult scrolling your social media sites all day in your room, well, it’s time to rethink your habits. You can do planks while watching a Facebook video anyways. If you’re an older adult, it’s never too late to start. You may be busy with your job or your family, but again, it could be as simple as walking or taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
Together with a healthy, balanced diet, exercise has so many benefits.
