Exercise for its Anti-Aging Benefits
Exercise is necessary at any age, but to fight the effects of aging and time on your body, working out at least 30 minutes a day for five days a week, is the minimum you will require to strengthen your muscles and bones, maintain good posture, bone density and joint mobility. Exercise also boosts the internal functioning of the cardiovascular system (lungs and heart) which enables all parts of the body to perform at its optimum as the years go by. Added to these benefits, exercise stimulates the production of a hormone known as the endorphins (the “feel good” hormones) which help fight depression and help you to feel positive and energetic.
