What are the benefits of muscle building?

Now many people have realized how important good health is to themselves, because only with a healthy body can you have a good life. If the body is sick, everything will become a dream. So more and more people have joined the ranks of exercise, especially some men, who want to fill their bodies with muscles through exercise. So what are the benefits of muscle exercise? Let’s find out together!

Exercise is good for your health. Facts show that engaging in regular exercise can help people feel better, feel refreshed, and have more energy to complete tasks and assignments. The greatest role of physical exercise is to improve people's health in an all-round way. The specific performance is briefly described as follows:

(1) Prevent cardiovascular disease

Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer threatening human life in the world today. It is reported that one out of every two deaths in the United States is caused by cardiovascular disease, and cardiovascular disease also ranks first in the number of deaths in our country. A large number of studies have shown that participating in regular physical exercise can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease formation and occurrence.

(2) Improve the function of the respiratory system

During physical exercise, people's breathing process deepens, they inhale more oxygen and expel more carbon dioxide, thereby increasing lung capacity, reducing residual volume, and enhancing lung function. People who exercise regularly have stronger physical adaptability, so their breathing appears steady, deep, and even, and their frequency is also slower, with an average of 6 to 8 breaths per minute, while people who do not exercise breathe an average of 12 to 15 times per minute.

(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, physical exercise will promote gastrointestinal motility and secretion of digestive juices, improve the functions of the liver and pancreas, thereby improving the function of the entire digestive system and providing a good material guarantee for human health and longevity.

(4) Improve the function of the nervous system

Human activities are coordinated activities under the control of the nervous system. People who insist on exercising (especially the middle-aged and elderly people) often have flexible bodies, sharp ears and eyes, and are full of energy, which is a manifestation of strong nervous system function.

(5) Reduce the risk of diabetes

One of the hallmarks of diabetes is high blood sugar levels, which, if not controlled, 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.

(6) Prevent bone fractures

Osteoporosis can cause bone fractures, which occur in people of all ages and are more common in the elderly (especially elderly women).

Studies have shown that regular physical exercise can prevent bone fractures by increasing bone density and strength. Of course, physical exercise also has a positive therapeutic effect on patients with osteoporosis.

(7) Ability to maintain physical activity

One of the main characteristics of human aging is the gradual decline in physical activity, especially after the age of 60, when the decline in physical activity is particularly obvious. There is a proverb in our country: "Exercise regularly in old age and your walking stick will become a sword." Facts show that regular physical exercise can slow down the decline of physical activity in the elderly.

(8) Controlling weight and changing body shape

As we all know, excessive obesity can affect a person's normal physiological functions, especially it can easily increase the burden on the heart and shorten life expectancy. If a person's subcutaneous fat exceeds the normal standard by 15-25%, his risk of death will increase to 30%. As the saying goes, "If you exercise, your tendons will grow three inches longer; if you don't exercise, your muscles will grow an inch thicker." Because physical exercise can reduce fat, increase muscle strength, and maintain joint flexibility, it can help control weight and improve body shape and appearance.

(9) Prolonging life

As the saying goes, "If you exercise well, you won't be considered old at eighty; if you don't exercise well, you will have white hair at forty." Numerous studies have shown that regular physical exercise can add years to your life. A 30-year study showed that people who did not exercise were 31% more likely to die prematurely than those who exercised regularly. So why does regular physical exercise help you live longer? The main reason is that regular physical exercise can prevent heart disease and cancer.

Exercise can improve the body's immune system, prevent various diseases, reduce the incidence of some diseases, and prevent cardiovascular diseases. It keeps the body full of vitality. People who exercise regularly can not only maintain a good body shape, but also have a good effect on beauty and longevity. Therefore, you must develop the good habit of exercising.
