Exercise as preventive medicine.
Brian January 26th, 2010
Have you ever noticed how great you feel after a training session? More people are turning to exercise over traditional vices such as cigarettes and alcohol to relieve stress and feel good. New research has shown exercise to be as effective as some antidepressants at reducing levels of anxiety and depression, without the side effects. The effects of exercise on health are profound, from possibly preventing cancer, preventing heart disease, lowering blood pressure, and preventing diabetes.
Exercise should not be something that we do like a chore, or a job. We were meant to move and be active, and when we aren’t there are serious, sometimes deadly repercussions.
Here is a short article to sum it all up.
