It comes as no surprise that exercise is good for your health. Positive changes happen to your body before, during, and after a workout.
Build up your body
There are quite a few scientific reasons to do strength training. It makes muscles (肌肉) bigger and bones stronger, thus lowering the risk for certain diseases. Running is an easy but effective way to help build your muscles. But a recent study found that a short run can benefit the legs in the short term. And for now, experts say running has more benefits than risks.
Improve your brainpower
Exercise can help your brain, not just your body. Physical activity helps brain cells (细胞) grow. That's because physical exercise quickly increases a person's heart rate and carries more blood to the brain, improving the brainpower.
Establish a mind-body connection
Too much stress can lead to inflammation (炎症). But simple mind-body exercises like yoga can not only reduce inflammation but also lower the risk of depression. New research shows they can even change your genes to fight off poor health. Research proves that even just 15 minutes a day of practicing mindfulness seems to do the trick.
