Is exercise as good as people say it is?

There are hundreds of fast food restaurants and the life habits have changed all over the world. People are looking for ways to be healthy and everybody says that exercise is one of the best things you can do to stay healthy but, nobody says that it can also be really dangerous.

It is actually true that exercise is a good way to stay healthy, because of its many benefits. First of all, exercise increases the resistance of pain. It is used all over the world in medical therapies to treat physical conditions from people with back pain to those who lost a part of their bodies. Second of all, it helps with sleeping habits because of the amount of energy that we use while exercising. Finally, exercise also reduces the stress because of the release of endorphins produced by the brain that work the same as pain killers.     

Nevertheless, exercise can also be dangerous. It can easily lead to injuries because of the lack of knowledge about previous medical conditions. For example you might have a heart disease and if you do not know about it. It could end up in a heart attack. There are some other medical risks related with exercising too much. For example, the body needs time to recover when you are working out but, if you work out way too much your body will not have the necessary time to heal and that is a common way to get hurt. In addition it is not difficult to get obsessed because of the hormone releases from the brain while exercising. For instance, the endorphins are similar to morphine which is a medical drug currently used as a pain killer.          

All things considered, in order to stay healthy. It is good to exercise in a daily bases but, it is always convenient to ask a specialist first.
