Excercise is key to healthy living
Exercise is an important part of maintaining a healthy body and mind. Burning calories lowers excess sugar and insulin levels in the body, helping prevent diabetes and leading to an increased lifespan. Aerobic exercise, such as jogging or cycling, is particularly good at decreasing insulin levels. Anaerobic exercise, such as weight training and circuit training, builds the muscle mass that you can use in aerobic exercise.
If you’re eating well, you will probably be fine with exercising off about 300 calories a day. What does it take? The good news is, not much at all. Walking causally for an hour, or half an hour at a fast-pace or 25 minutes of riding a bike are enough for men – and just a little bit longer is fine for women. The rates are lower for women because they have slimmer bodies with less muscle mass. For this reason a man’s exercise programme can never be the same as a woman’s. Furthermore, not everybody’s exercise programme will be the same. This is why it is important to seek the advice of professionals.
