Benefits of Exercise and Problems of Inactivity

There is no single individual currently alive, or a research work, that would say that exercise does not do anything good to a person at all. Hundreds of books, articles, research studies, and even blogs/vlogs, would boast of how exercise contributes to a better and healthier life. That is, for someone who willingly and religiously incorporate exercise to his/her daily or even weekly schedule. Thus, to be more specific, it would be best to identify the most basic physical, mental, psychological, physiological, and social benefits that an individual gets when he/she performs a regular exercise routine or program.

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES (CVDs)

 terms that refers to any disease that affects the heart or blood vessels.

MAJOR FORMS OF CVD: 

Atherosclerosis

• accumulation of fatty plaques (fatty deposits, calcium, tissue debris) in the inner walls of the artery. 

• This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your organs and other parts of your body, which may eventually lead to a heart attack or stroke.

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)

•  a condition where the heart is supplied with insufficient blood due to clogging of coronary arteries. 

• Difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath, vomiting, and angina pectoris (chest pain) are some of the signs of this disease.

Stroke

• a disease when blood supply to the brain is reduced for a long period of time. 

• Weakness of face, arm or leg on one side of the body, difficulty in speaking and walking are common symptoms.

Hypertension 

• is a condition where the blood pressure is chronically elevated.

• A borderline blood pressure is 140mmHg for the systolic BP (or when the heart contracts), and 90mmHg for the diastolic BP (or when the heart relaxes).

Normal blood pressure 

 is 120/80. This means a systolic reading of less than 120 and a diastolic reading of less than 80.

Elevated blood pressure

 is a systolic reading of 120 to 129 and a diastolic reading of less than 80.

Stage 1 high blood pressure

is a systolic reading of 130 to 139 or a diastolic reading between 80 and 89.

Stage 2 high blood pressure 

 is a systolic reading of 140 or higher or a diastolic reading of 90 or higher.
