We hear endlessly how good exercise is for our health, but you might be (surprise) to know how good.
Helping you breathe better
Frequent exercise increases the volume of oxygen moving through your body. This is makes you fit. Increased muscle tone helps too. Pilates (普拉提) can build core (strong) and improve posture, and so tone breathing muscles.
Enhancing your mental health
Doing something active releases "happy" brain (chemical), such as endorphins and serotonin, which make you feel more positive. The more you do it, the better you'll feel. But you do need (work) up a bit of a sweat. If you've had a bad day, a little bit of exercise is a brilliant stress reliever.
Keeping you young
There may not be an elixir (长生不老药) of youth, but keeping fit (come) close. Just 15 minutes of exercise a day for eight years can increase your lifespan three years. The more you do, the (long) you could live, according to a study from Harvard Medical School. seems that physical activity delays cell ageing and reduces inflammation (炎症), benefits the heart. It can be low-intensity exercise — swimming or a long walk on a treadmill (踏车) at the gym.
