Let’s live a healthy life now! There are many health benefits to regular exercise,including an increase in the strength of the heart, weight loss, and decreased insulin resistance. Walking or running on a treadmill is great exercise that we could do in a simple yet fun way.
Treadmills also offer the option for careful monitoring of the heart rate and blood pressure. This information helps the patient determine how much exercise they can do. Here are some information about the health benefits of exercising on the treadmill.
Heart Benefits
Treadmills are very useful in the diagnosis of heart disease, coronary artery blockages, and other cardiac issues. The body may not show symptoms of heart disease until it is put under stress, and using a treadmill is an effective way to put the body under stress while having the ability to closely monitor the patient’s vital signs.
It is possible for exercise stress tests performed on a treadmill to show a false positive result, so the test should always be follow up by other tests such as:
Regular aerobic exercise, such as a treadmill workout regimen, improves blood circulation in the body and helps to lower blood pressure by strengthening the heart.Aerobic exercise also helps to protect against blood vessel disease and heart disease by lowering low density lipo protein (bad cholesterol) and raising levels of high density lipo protein (good cholesterol). Anyone with heart issues should talk to their doctor before starting any exercise program to ensure thatthey don’t put too much stress on their body or perform actions that interfere with their medications.
Benefits to Diabetics
Other from heart problems, treadmills are also a great way to encourage people to exercise regularly to control insulin levels in type 2 diabetics. According to a study published in the Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry regular exercise decreases blood sugar levels in diabetic patients. The combination of diet and exercise is the best way to control diabetes symptoms in patients that are not insulin dependent. Each patient should consult their doctor before starting their exercise routine because exercise that is too intense can actually raise blood sugar levels.
Exercising for less than 20 minutes at a time usually causes the liver to release stored glucose for fuel, but a session of at least 20 minutes is more beneficial because it causes the muscles to take in glucose for fuel and lowers overall blood glucose levels. Using a treadmill for regular exercise often allows patients to lower their blood glucose levels enough that their medication levels can be adjusted down or eliminated. Working out regularly also helps to regulate the hormones that induce sleep and allows the patient to sleep better.
Benefits of Exercise
Exercising regularly is a great way to keep the body in good shape and decrease levels of disease in the entire body. The heart is the most important muscle in the body, and it needs to be exercised to be in top shape. Treadmills are very useful as exercise machines because they are easy to use and put less stress on the body than many types of workouts. Most experts recommend that people exercise at least five days per week, for 20-60 minutes.
