5 reasons to exercise, aside from losing weight

Not everyone loses weight with physical activity : some gain weight, and according to experts it’s not just about muscles. For what reason? One study found that out of a sample of people who had to exercise to lose weight (81 women), most actually lost weight and lean mass, but some took it. In fact, the study aimed to establish that physical activity, in this case aerobic, cannot by itself lead to generalized weight loss: the individual predisposition to physical activity is very important , and the fact, for example, that an increase physical activity does not correspond to a large increase in daily calories. Otherwise he gets fat, there is little to do. In conclusion:it is not said that with physical activity alone you can lose weight , diet is necessary. Those who manage to lose weight with physical activity alone are predisposed, and therefore favored, to that kind of weight loss, which therefore becomes more and more a subjective fact. Not mysterious, but subjective yes.
But if we could also get there on our own, here are the advantages that according to experts are unequivocal when doing physical activity , and are valid for everyone, both for those who want to lose weight and for those who just want to keep fit. And there are five of them. 1) Exercising helps your memory

: inflammatory states and hormonal imbalances are among the causes of the progressive deterioration of memory capacity over the years. Physical activity would reduce these factors, and increase concentration, as well as promote more stable blood pressure.
2) Stress and depression: it seems that doing physical activity reduces both depression (we do something for ourselves, we take care of ourselves, and in a sense the movement allows us a distraction from our problems: think about yoga or pilates), that stress (we release with exercise).
3) Feeling less tired: even if we get tired behind the treadmill, physical activity allows us to be less tired and lacking in energy in general.
4) Cardiovascular health:doing regular physical activity would help the heart and also regulate the absorption of blood sugar.
5) Muscle, bone and joint pains: in particular in the back, these pains would be relieved by physical activity, which allows a more upright and correct position and, for example in some sports and in aerobics, trains the back muscles of in order to give greater support to the spine.
