    How Does Physical Fitness Optimize Ones Health

    The benefits of exercise extend far beyond weight management. Research shows that
    regular physical activity can help reduce your risk for several diseases and health
    conditions and improve your overall quality of life. Regular physical activity can help
    protect you from the following health problems.

    Heart Disease and Stroke. Daily physical activity can help prevent heart disease
    and stroke by strengthening your heart muscle, lowering your blood pressure,
    raising your high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels (goodcholesterol) and lowering
    low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels (bad cholesterol), improving blood flow, and
    increasing your heart's working capacity. Optimizing each of these factors can
    provide additional benefits of decreasing the risk for Peripheral Vascular Disease.

    High Blood Pressure. Regular physical activity can reduce blood pressure in
    those with high blood pressure levels. Physical activity reduces body fat, which is
    associated with high blood pressure.

    Noninsulin-Dependent Diabetes. By reducing body fat, physical activity can help


    to prevent and control this type of diabetes.

    Obesity. Physical activity helps to reduce body fat by building or preserving


    muscle mass and improving the body's ability to use calories. When physical
    activity is combined with proper nutrition, it can help control weight and prevent
    obesity, a major risk factor for many diseases.

    Back Pain. By increasing muscle strength and endurance and improving


    flexibility and posture, regular exercise helps to prevent back pain.

    Osteoporosis. Regular weight-bearing exercise promotes bone formation and


    may prevent many forms of bone loss associated with aging.

    Self Esteem And Stress Management. Studies on the psychological effects of


    exercise have found that regular physical activity can improve your mood and the
    way you feel about yourself. Researchers have found that exercise is likely to
    reduce depression and anxiety and help you to better manage stress.

    Disability. Running and aerobic exercise have been shown to postpone the
    development of disability in older adults.
