Benefits of aerobic exercise:
The purpose of aerobic exercise is to enhance cardiopulmonary endurance. In the process of exercise, due to muscle contraction, a lot of energy and oxygen are needed, and the demand for oxygen increases. The number of heart contractions, the amount of blood pumped out each time, the number of breaths and the degree of lung expansion all increase.
Therefore, when the exercise continues and the muscles contract for a long time, the heart and lungs must strive to provide oxygen to the muscles and take away the waste in the muscles. And this constant demand can improve the endurance of the heart and lungs. With the increase of cardiopulmonary endurance, the body can engage in longer or higher-intensity exercise, and it is less likely to get tired.
Long-term adherence to aerobic exercise can increase the amount of hemoglobin in the body, improve the body's resistance, resist aging, enhance the efficiency of cerebral cortex and cardiopulmonary function, increase fat consumption, prevent arteriosclerosis, and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. If dieters combine aerobic exercise with reasonable food arrangement, not only can they lose weight successfully, but their weight will also be consolidated.
Aerobic exercise is also very beneficial to mental workers. In addition, aerobic exercise can also restore physical fitness. Aerobic exercise can achieve the effect of slimming. Walking for half an hour after a meal can well regulate the consumption of fat in dinner, and then the consumption of protein.
