1. Effectively prevent cardiovascular disease. During physical exercise, due to the intense activity of muscles, the heart's work increases, the blood supply and metabolism of the myocardium are strengthened, the myocardial fibers become thicker, the heart walls become thicker, the heart volume increases, the shape becomes rounder, and the beats become stronger. All of this is also a good remedy for treating cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer threatening human life in the world today. It is reported that in our country, cardiovascular disease also ranks first in the number of people who die. A large number of studies have shown that participating in regular physical exercise can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease formation and occurrence.

One of the hallmarks of diabetes is high blood sugar levels, which, if left uncontrolled, can cause a host of other health problems, such as impaired vision and kidney failure. Regular physical exercise can greatly reduce the likelihood of an individual developing diabetes by controlling the increase in blood sugar levels.

3. Improve the function of the digestive system. Physical exercise will increase the consumption of nutrients in the body, enhance the metabolism of the entire body, and thus increase appetite; in addition, it will promote gastrointestinal motility and secretion of digestive juices, improve the function of the liver and pancreas, thereby improving the function of the entire digestive system, providing a good material guarantee for human health and longevity.
