             WHY EXERCISE?

Here is the reason health care professionals mostly talk about regular exercise. The human body contains more than 600 muscles;overall it is more than half muscle. Muscles make possible every overt motion, they also help push down food along the digestive tract, suck air into the lungs, tighten blood vessels to raise blood pressure when you need more pressure to meet an emergency.
Furthermore, technological advancement have changed our way of living, have made strenuous exercise largely unnecessary. Buh you see the needs of the human body has not changed. Muscles are meant to be used and when not in used it deteriorate. If we are habitually inactive, if we succumb to easy living… . We pay the price in decreased efficiency. Conviction is not he observation by a former president of the American medical association. “It begins to appear that exercise is the master conditioner for the healthy and the major therapy for all illness" . Periodic health examination and fitness programs, which have been recently aimed largely at children, are even more necessary for adults.

This is evidenced that exercise promotes development of supplement blood vessels in which can take over the burden of nourishing the heart muscles when the coronary artery is blocked in a heart attack.
