Benefits of Physical Activity
- Reduces Body Fat – Exercise helps decrease abdominal and visceral fat, which are strongly associated with obesity-related health complications.
- Improves Cardiovascular Health – Regular physical activity lowers blood pressure, improves cholesterol levels, and reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke.
- Increases Muscle Mass and Strength – Strength-training activities help preserve and build lean muscle mass, which increases resting metabolic rate and supports weight management.
