Recent studies have shed light on the remarkable impact of exercise on various aspects of health and longevity. Long-term exercisers with obesity have been found to possess healthier belly fat tissue compared to their non-exercising counterparts. Additionally, low-impact yoga and exercise classes have shown promise in helping older women manage urinary incontinence.
The report also highlights intriguing findings on how exercise affects the brain. High-intensity interval exercise has been found to improve brain function in older adults for up to five years. Furthermore, just 30 minutes of exercise can increase the proportion of tumor-killing white blood cells in breast cancer patients’ bloodstreams. These discoveries underscore the far-reaching benefits of physical activity, from metabolic health to cognitive function and even cancer treatment support.
