Frequent
and regular exercise has been shown to help prevent
or to cure major illnesses such as high blood pressure,
obesity, heart disease, diabetes, insomnia, cancer
[1] and depression, and many more diseases. Researchers
have shown that three 10 minute walks burn as many
calories and exercise your heart as well as one 30
minute walk. Exercise can also increase energy and
raise your threshold for pain. There is conflicting
evidence as to whether vigorous exercise (more than
70% of VO2 max) is more or less beneficial than moderate
exercise (40 to 70% of VO2 max).
However studies have shown that vigorous exercise
executed by healthy individuals can effectively increase
opioid peptides (aka endorphins, a naturally occurring
opiate that in conjunction with other neurotransmitters
is responsible for exercise induced euphoria), positively
influence hormone production (i.e., increase testosterone
and growth hormone), and help prevent neuromuscular
diseases. Some of these benefits can be realized by
moderate exercise but to a much lesser degree. |
