Increased physical fitness significantly lowers the chance of developing long-term chronic conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even cancer. According to Grayson Wickham, DPT, CSCS, founder of Movement Vault, a mobility and movement company based in New York City, "Fitness will help prevent almost any type of disease."
The Exercise Is Medicine initiative was started in 2007 by ACSM in collaboration with the American Medical Association. Its objectives are to provide exercise resources to individuals of all ability levels and integrate physical activity evaluation into normal medical care. According to the initiative's website, "the benefits of physical activity remain indisputable and can be as powerful as any pharmaceutical agent in the prevention and treatment of a range of chronic diseases and medical conditions."
The following is a summary of those advantages:
Working Out Improves Your Mood
Research has demonstrated that regular exercise can act as a protective factor against anxiety and sadness. Furthermore, a scientific study mentions that additional research demonstrates how exercise can assist in controlling and even curing the symptoms of depression. Exercise has been demonstrated to help lower inflammation, which has been found to be elevated in depressed individuals. The researchers speculate that exercise may also encourage positive changes in the brain.
Exercise Helps You Sleep
Regular exercise can improve your quality of sleep at night. Out of the 34 studies included in the systematic review, 29 indicated that exercise increased the length of sleep sessions and improved sleep quality. In addition to causing chemical changes in the brain that promote sleep and, as a previous study suggests, potentially easing presleep worry that may otherwise keep you awake, it may help regulate your body clock so that you are alert and drowsy at the proper times.
However, it's important to remember that high-intensity exercise should be done earlier in the day because doing it too soon before bed (within an hour or two) can make it harder for some people to fall asleep.
Exercise is beneficial for long-term health.
Exercise has been demonstrated to enhance the health of your brain and bones, maintain muscular mass (preventing frailty as you age), enhance your sexual life, enhance gastrointestinal function, and lower your risk of a number of diseases, such as cancer and stroke. Engaging in the recommended 150–300 minutes of physical activity each week reduced the risk of death from all causes by 19 percent, according to research involving over 116,000 participants.
