Furthermore, regular exercise can help prevent
many health problems such as stroke,
metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, and
diabetes, as well as help strengthen bones and
muscles. Jogging, for example, helps our
cardiovascular system perform more efficiently
by delivering oxygen and nutrients to our
bodies. As a result of improved heart and lung
health, the body will have more energy.

maintenance. According to the World Health

than 110 percent of total energy may help
prevent health problems. (World Health
Organization, 2020)
