The pros and cons of long-term fitness

Nowadays, many people pay more and more attention to health preservation. Although young people are under a lot of pressure in their daily lives, many people still insist on fitness. On the one hand, fitness is good for the body. It not only reduces diseases, but also releases stress. It is very popular among young people today. Although fitness has many benefits, it actually has disadvantages. Everything has two sides. Doing too much may not be good for the body. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of long-term fitness?

What are the disadvantages of excessive fitness?

1. Serious insomnia problem

In fact, if we exercise properly, it will not only not cause insomnia problems, but will improve our sleeping conditions and allow us to sleep deeply for longer periods of time. But if we exercise too much, it is likely to cause severe insomnia and make us unable to fall asleep. This means our body does not have enough time to repair itself. If we do heavy weight training, it is very likely to cause damage to our body.

2. Decreased muscle strength

Fitness can make us stronger and increase our muscle strength, but if we over-exercise, our muscles will be seriously damaged. If the muscles are not repaired in time, it is likely to cause our muscle strength to decrease. Once muscle strength decreases, it is fatal for those of us who exercise. It is likely to cause us to lack strength during exercise and cause serious injuries.

3. Decreased appetite

Everyone knows that fitness sometimes depends on exercise and sometimes on diet. If our appetite decreases, we may lose our appetite and be unable to eat. At this time, it is easy for our body to not get enough nutritional supplements, because muscle repair depends entirely on nutrients from the outside world. If the nutrition intake is insufficient, it may lead to difficulties in muscle repair and cause our physical condition to deteriorate!

4. Emotional abnormality

Generally speaking, as long as we exercise reasonably and regularly, we will gradually fall in love with fitness. But when we over-exercise, our emotions will become abnormal, we will easily get angry, lose control of our emotions, and at the same time we will feel disgusted with fitness.

5. Endocrine disorders

When we exercise excessively, it is very likely to cause endocrine disorders in our body. Once the endocrine system is out of balance, it is very likely that the toxins in our body cannot be discharged, which will cause our skin to deteriorate, lose luster, become oily, and develop acne. This has a huge impact on our appearance.

What are the benefits of men sticking to fitness?

1. Improve sexual function

According to a survey, compared with those who sit for a long time and do little exercise, maintaining brisk walking for 30 minutes a day, four times a week, or doing other exercises with equivalent energy consumption, such as swimming and jogging, can reduce the incidence of sexual dysfunction in adult men by 2/3. Therefore, proper fitness is very helpful to sexual function.

2. Improve skin quality

Although Chinese women don't like strong bodies like foreigners do, they prefer men with some muscles, who look tall and look handsome in a fight, rather than thin men. This makes them feel safe. Moreover, men who exercise regularly will have better skin and look more youthful and energetic.

3. Decompression

Living in this high-pressure society, men face the greatest pressure every day. If they give up, they are too unambitious; if they don’t give up, they will almost suffocate under the pressure. It’s better to relieve stress by exercising. Relevant researchers have found that during running, the human body will produce a substance called "endorphin", which can make a person's body and mind in a relaxed and happy state. "Endorphins" are therefore also called "happy hormones" or "youth hormones". They can make people feel happy and satisfied and help people relieve stress and unhappiness.

4. Enhance self-confidence

Fitness is a long-term process that can train one's patience and reduce physical pain, which will make you more confident.

5. Improve sleep

Men in the workplace are prone to insomnia because the pressure is too great. Poor sleep will affect people’s concentration, and work performance will plummet. Regular exercise can help you fall asleep quickly and stay away from insomnia.
