Since exercise activities, which have become the fashion of recent times, have become quite common, we have been frequently encountering media reports on this subject, everywhere at any time.
Me too, “Exercise is medicine.” Led by a group of activists who set out with the slogan “Lead the movement.” I am one of the volunteers of the program. Thanks to the awareness of this program, I had the chance to examine a considerable medical document on the subject.
As a result of the level of knowledge reached by medicine recently, researches have begun to reveal that the underlying cause of diseases is multifactorial. One of these factors is that a vicious circle that we describe as the “inflammatory process” comes into play. Cytogenetic studies show that there is a lot of evidence that the inflammatory process plays the most important role in the formation of chronic diseases.
Evidence value reliable studies on exercise today; They claim that this inflammatory process is reversible. In other words, with the effect of exercise, you not only stop the progression of the disease, but you can also reverse the damage that has occurred.
Of course, besides the benefits of such an important action, there are also features to be careful about.
So the question to ask is “How and how much exercise?” should be in the form.
Exercise as a general principle; aerobic activity is divided into three groups as strengthening and weight activities and balance and stretching activities. Especially the activity that we, the physicians, recommend to everyone; activities such as walking, cycling, swimming and tennis, which are defined as aerobics that do not exert excessive stress on the organism and do not create stress. In addition, it is better to control the activities by a physician, adjusting them at a mild or moderate intensity according to the age, weight and existing health problems of the individual.
“How much exercise?” As for the question, it should be adjusted for at least 30 minutes every day, at least five days a week and 150 minutes. The importance of doing the exercise later in the morning; This is due to the fact that the air temperature and humidity at those times of the day are the most suitable.
The benefits of exercise under the consultancy of medical professionals for a healthy life form a long list.
It should come as no surprise that an action for which substantial evidence of efficacy has been demonstrated is defined as a drug.
This is why “Exercise is medicine.” we have to say.
Is exercise a drug?
