First of all, our body is a system. What is a system? The system is a cycle and a dynamic balance that needs to be maintained.

Creating a calorie deficit for the body and keeping it for a period of time can really achieve the effect of reducing fat. However, compared with simply adopting a low-calorie diet, combining exercise is undoubtedly a more efficient method. Because if the calorie intake is too low, it is easy to cause insufficient intake of essential nutrients or fail to meet the standards of basic metabolism, which will do great harm to the human body in the long run. But if exercise can consume some calories, the diet can be less strict. Besides, exercise has many other benefits. If we want to live to be a hundred years old healthily and enjoy the centenary life, exercise is an essential part of life.

There are also many ways to exercise, whether it is ball games, outdoor, gym or even family fitness. Even if it is to increase the consumption of some daily activities, it is very different from all kinds of sedentary and sofa lying. For example, taking a low-intensity walk after meals, climbing stairs without taking the elevator, buying lunch on foot without ordering takeout, getting off at one stop in advance, and walking are all exercises.

So what are the benefits of exercise to our health and life?

1. Exercise can increase energy consumption and improve the utilization rate of nutrients. For example, a high-protein diet is good for your health, but if you don't do strength training, you can't absorb too much protein.

Compared with simple diet, exercise reduces the risk of heart disease. I believe that people who have not exercised for a long time must be panting when they get together for activities. But after a period of exercise, I found that my physical fitness has improved a lot. Therefore, it is never too late to start.

3. Exercise can reduce abdominal fat. Excessive abdominal fat will increase the risk of type II diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Too thick waist is really unhealthy.

4. Exercise helps to cultivate good eating habits, including reducing calorie intake. When you start exercising, you will find yourself unconsciously paying attention to reducing the number of times you eat unhealthy food, because in your subconscious, you will tell yourself to eat healthier. This is a chain reaction.

5. Although exercise can't prevent the decrease of basal metabolic rate caused by low-calorie diet, it can minimize this decrease.

6. Exercise can improve mood and psychology.

7. Exercise can improve your body image.

8. Exercise can increase people's self-confidence and self-identity. If a person can keep exercising, he will feel in control of his life. For example, get up at 5 o'clock every morning to run. At the same time, he can feel satisfied, which will also affect his confidence in other aspects of life. Keeping in good shape will also have a stronger sense of self-identity.

Knowing a lot, of course, is for a better life. Therefore, it is most important to act. Everything, nothing is just an illusion. Let's go!
