What are the benefits of exercising regularly?

Nowadays, people face great pressure from study and work every day and are very busy. As time goes by, many people have various physical problems. If everyone can take a little time every day to exercise, it will be much better. So, what are the benefits of persisting in exercise? The benefits of exercising regularly are as follows.

1. Relieve natural pain in the body

If you're experiencing pain or stiffness in your knees, shoulders, back, or neck, resting isn't the best approach. Experts say that adults who regularly engage in aerobic exercise are 25% less likely to suffer from musculoskeletal discomfort than those who prefer to just sit on the couch. Exercise releases endorphins (a hormone that relieves pain), which are pain relievers in the body and make tendons less likely to be strained. Relieve some chronic symptoms of the body, such as arthritis.

2. Reduce the chance of catching a cold by 33%

Proper exercise can not only speed up your metabolism, it can also enhance your body's immunity and help your body fight against cold viruses and other bacterial invasions. A study by the University of Washington found that women who did five 45-minute cardio sessions a week caught one-third as many colds as those who did stretching exercises once a week. Keep moving, but don't overdo it. If you do strenuous exercise regularly, such as running for more than 90 minutes, it will actually reduce your body's immunity.

3. Healthier Oral Health

Adults who engaged in 30 minutes of moderate exercise five times a week were 42 percent less likely to develop periodontitis, a gum disease that occurs more frequently with age. Exercise may also help prevent heart disease, just as it does periodontitis—because it lowers levels of C-reactive protein in the blood, which causes inflammation.

4. Improve your language skills

Just running on a treadmill can make you smarter. Research from the University of Münster in Germany showed that people who did two three-minute bouts of sprinting (with a two-minute break in between) learned new words 20% faster than those who didn't do the exercise. Because your heart beats faster, it increases blood flow and delivers more oxygen to your brain. At the same time, it can also stimulate the updating of areas of the brain that control transaction processing, planning and memory. You can run up and down the stairs instead of using a treadmill.

5. Work happier

Research from the University of Bristol in the UK shows that an active lifestyle can help you better complete your daily to-do list. They found that after completing a set of fitness activities, when tested, the company employees' thinking became clearer, their work was completed faster, and their cooperation with colleagues was smoother and more effective. At the same time, you can avoid missing work due to illness. Take a fitness class, or if you don’t have enough time, join a midday yoga class.

What are the benefits of regular exercise? Persisting in exercise can not only relieve physical fatigue and pain, but also enhance the body's resistance, keep the body healthy, and improve learning and work efficiency. Therefore, for the sake of your own health and study and work efficiency, I hope that everyone will develop the good habit of exercising every day.
