Half of adults in India lead a sedentary lifestyle, according to a recent study published in The Lancet. This underscores the importance of consistent physical activity for both physical and mental health. Regular exercise reduces the risk of chronic diseases and can lead to significant health improvements, even with moderate exercise for 30 minutes on most days.
“Regular exercise is essential for maintaining good health and can help prevent chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, cancer and heart disease,” says Dr Mukesh Budhwani, Consultant Physician at Apollo Clinic, Viman Nagar. “The benefits of exercise are felt both immediately and in the long term, improving overall quality of life. Exercise strengthens your heart and boosts blood circulation, which increases oxygen levels and reduces the risk of heart-related diseases, including high cholesterol and heart attacks. It can also lower blood pressure and triglyceride levels.”
Regular exercise offers numerous benefits for both physical and mental health. Physically, it helps maintain a healthy weight, improves cardiovascular health, and strengthens muscles and bones. Exercise also strengthens the immune system, which reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Mentally, it improves mood by releasing endorphins, reduces stress and anxiety, and improves sleep quality. Additionally, regular physical activity increases energy levels and promotes better brain function, which improves memory and cognitive skills.
In general, regular exercise leads to a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.
