You don't exercise because you're sick?... 6 unexpected conditions that improve with exercise

Degenerative arthritis

Degenerative arthritis causes severe pain and inflammation in the joints. Exercise helps reduce weight and alleviates stress on painful joints. Additionally, strengthening the muscles around the affected joints through exercise can reduce the pressure on the joints. Walking, swimming, water aerobics, and strength training are recommended. Consult a specialist to choose appropriate exercises based on the stage of each individual's arthritis progression.

◆ Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Currently, there is no cure for ADHD, but exercise is a good way to improve concentration and regulate restless emotions. Of course, a perfect treatment is difficult, but it can significantly aid in treatment. When dopamine levels temporarily increase through exercise, brain areas involved in decision-making and impulse control are stimulated. For children, aerobic exercises that foster teamwork and boost self-esteem are recommended.

◆ Asthma

While caution is needed in exercise methods, those with asthma should exercise more. According to related studies, exercise can improve cardiovascular health and reduce the suffering caused by asthma. Additionally, weight gain can worsen asthma, so exercise is necessary. Both aerobic and strength training are beneficial. However, during outdoor exercise, it is important to avoid fine dust, yellow dust, pollen, pollution, and even cold air. It is essential to avoid asthma triggers and consult a specialist beforehand.

◆ Sleep Disorder

According to related research findings, people who exercise tend to have deeper and much higher quality sleep than those who do not. In particular, exercise can prevent sleep apnea by preventing weight gain. To overcome sleep disorders, it is recommended to exercise regularly for at least 30 minutes. Experts say, "Meditative exercises like yoga are especially effective."

◆ Anxiety disorder

Modern people can suffer from anxiety due to various worries. There are also chronic pathological anxieties that arise from mental health issues such as depression. Panic disorder, a type of anxiety disorder, is also a problem. Exercise can help with all of these. When you exercise, endorphins that improve mood are released. According to related research, people who exercise have a 25% lower risk of developing anxiety disorders compared to those who do not.

◆ Premenstrual Syndrome, Menopausal Symptoms

According to related research, women who exercise during menopause or premenstrual syndrome experience significantly fewer symptoms compared to those who do not exercise. Women suffering from premenstrual syndrome or menopausal symptoms are prone to experiencing notable mood swings, anxiety, depression, and other discomforts, but exercise helps alleviate these hormonal changes. Aerobic exercise, strength training, and yoga are also beneficial.
