Why Exercise?
We all know that exercise is good for us, and it is fair to say that we all want to be healthy. But in today's increasingly fast-paced world, where working people seem to have less and less time, it is also true that most people are not exercising enough.

The main motivation to get you up and exercising is overall health improvement, so here are some scientifically proven health benefits that regular exercise brings:

  • Longevity: People who are regularly exercise live longer. Regular exercise reduces the risk of dying prematurely
  • New brain cell development/Mental Function Enhancement: Exercise stimulates the formation of new brain cells (neurons) and strengthens connections between cells. It also improves cognitive performance – those who engage in regular exercise have better performance in decision-making process, memory and problems solving.
  • Prevention of cardio-vascular diseases: There is a direct relation between physical inactivity and cardiovascular death. Regular exercise makes your heart stronger, and a stronger heart can pump more blood with less effort.
  • Lowers Cholesterol and High Blood Pressure: Regular exercise can positively alter cholesterol metabolism, converting some to a more favourable type such as HDL. It is also effective at decreasing blood pressure across the board.
  • Lower risk of cancer, strokes: Research evidence indicates that exercise may reduce the risk of total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic strokes, and is also associated with lower risk of common forms of cancer.
  • Other benefits: Improved mental health, better sex life, better night sleep, stronger immune system, greater bone density, controlled weight, better stress management, gastro-intestinal benefits, etc.
