The Little Known Preventive Perks Regarding Regular Exercising

By Desiree Mcmickell


We all know that aerobics is a great, low impact exercise that benefits our health. What a lot don't know is that it has also been linked with reducing the chances of developing heart disease and certain cancers.

Half an hour a day isn't hard find when you know that it can reduce the risk of developing cancer of the colon by 30-40 percent. You only need to exercise moderately to achieve this so it is well worth the effort.

Women who exercise for this amount are also protecting themselves against the onset of breast cancer by up to 30%. When you are faced with facts such as these, that exercise seems a lot more enjoyable doesn't it?

As if that wasn't enough, more recent studies show that taking up aerobics can also greatly assist in treating a cancer that is already present.

The most recent study has shown that if you participate in a vigorous work out so that your heart reaches its maximum rate for half an hour, 5 days a week, the fatigue that cancer treatment causes can be greatly relieved.

As well as fatigue, cancer sufferers find themselves suffering from depression and extreme anxiety, which is no surprise to be honest. Once again, vigorous exercise can relieve these feelings thanks to the endorphins being released.

High blood pressure, stiffened blood vessels, and other factors involved in heart disease are all helped greatly by partaking in regular aerobic exercise. It is a low impact, cardio specific workout so the health benefits are obvious. We all need a healthy heart, and the best exercise you can do to achieve that is aerobics.

I could bang on about the health benefits you get from aerobic for hours, there is literally that many of them. Start of slowly and then build up gradually, but ensure it is regular, daily is best. It may seem like a chore at first, but stick with it and in no time you'll be feeling great.
