Fitness in Number

摘要

Most of us are aware of the benefits of regular exercise: weight management, cardiovascular health, increased stamina, bone and muscle strength, lowered blood pressure, and reduced insomnia. In addition, scientific research shows exercise also might prevent cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disese. Unfortunately, even though people understand the value of exericse, far too many have a litany of reasons why they can't do it. In some cases, they actually might be true, but most people can exercise - they just don't. "Exercise is like breathing," says Maj. Gabriela Cora, USAFR, a board-certified psychiatrist in Miami. "It's not something you do now and then. It's a must, a pillar of biological health. The more you [exercise], the more you're in control on a mental as well as a physical level."
