1. Improve DNA. The latest research by Swedish scientists found that healthy but inactive young people can change the DNA in their muscle cells even after a few minutes of exercise. DNA inheritance comes from parents, but lifestyle factors such as exercise can also play an important role in expressing or "awakening" some genes. Exercise will affect the gene function closely related to strength and metabolism.
2. Improve mood. Once the body exercises, the brain begins to release a variety of different neurotransmitters, including endorphins, which play an important role in improving mood and depression. Experts said that after working for one hour, you might as well spare a few minutes for simple exercise, kicking and stretching can improve your mood.
3. Prevent diabetes. Researchers from the University of Michigan found that a sweaty aerobic exercise can change the metabolism of fat in muscles, increase the storage of fat in muscles, and then improve insulin and resist the fundamental factors leading to diabetes.
4. Pay more attention. After the exercise, the blood flow in the brain increases, the working efficiency of brain cells is higher, the alertness is improved during the exercise, and the attention is more concentrated after the exercise. A new study published by the Boston Globe found that even 10 minutes of simple exercise can improve attention.
5. Remove pressure. The American Association for Anxiety and Depression estimates that 14% of people will relieve mental stress through exercise. Cortisol level increases and heart rate increases during exercise, but it can alleviate the negative effects caused by psychological stress. The latest research found that 30 minutes of exercise a day can relieve stress by 30%. In addition, to relieve stress, aerobic exercise such as running, mountaineering and playing ball should be carried out at least 3 times a week, and the time should be controlled at about 2 hours.
