Exercise can reduce your risk of chronic disease

Chronic disease is most relied on by a lack of regular physical activity. It has been demonstrated that regular exercise enhances body composition, heart health, and insulin sensitivity. Additionally, it helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure.

More specifically, regular exercise can lessen or prevent the following chronic health conditions:

• Type 2 diabetes: Type 2 diabetes may be delayed or prevented with regular aerobic exercise. People with type 1 diabetes can significantly benefit from it in terms of their health. Improvements in fat mass, blood pressure, lean body mass, insulin resistance, and glycemic control are all benefits of resistance training for type 2 diabetes.
• Heart disease: Exercise lowers cardiovascular risk factors and can be used to treat cardiovascular disease in patients.
• Many types of cancer: Breast, colorectal, endometrial, gallbladder, kidney, lung, liver, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, thyroid, gastric, and esophageal cancers are some of the cancers that exercise can help prevent.
• High cholesterol: Regular moderate-intensity exercise can maintain or reverse increases in LDL (bad) cholesterol while raising HDL (good) cholesterol.
• Hypertension: Regular aerobic exercise can help those with hypertension decrease their resting systolic blood pressure by 5-7 mmHg.
