LOOKING BACK TOYOUR LESSON
Physical exercise (PE) affects brain
plasticity, influencing cognition and
wellbeing (Weinberg and Gould, 2015).
In fact, experimental and clinical
studies have reported that PE
induces structural and functional
changes in the brain, determining
enormous biological, and psychological
benefits. In combining exercise with a
healthy diet is a more effective way to
lose weight than depending on calorie
restriction alone. Exercise can prevent
or even reverse the effects of certain
diseases. Exercise lowers blood
pressure and cholesterol, which may
prevent a heart attack.

 In addition, if you
exercise, you lower
your risk of developing
certain types of cancers
such as colon and
breast cancer. Exercise
is also known to help
contribute to a sense of
confidence and well-
being, thus possibly
lowering rates of anxiety
and depression.

 Exercise is helpful for
weight loss and
maintaining weight loss.
Exercise can increase
metabolism, or how many
calories you burn in a day.
It can also help you
maintain and increase
lean body mass, which
also helps increase
number of calories you
burn each day.

 PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR A HEALTHY WEIGHT

Regular physical activity

is important for good
health, and it’s especially
important if you’re trying
to lose weight or to
maintain a healthy
weight.
 When losing weight,
more physical activity
increases the number
of calories your body
uses for energy or “burns
off.” The burning of
calories through
physical activity,
combined with
reducing the number
of calories you eat,
creates a “calorie deficit”
that results in weight
loss.
Weight loss occurs
because of decreased
caloric intake. However,
evidence shows the only
way to maintain weight loss
is to be engaged in
regular physical activity.
Physical activity reduces
risks of cardiovascular
disease and diabetes
beyond that produced by
weight reduction alone.
Physical activity also helps
to
• Maintain weight.
• Reduce high blood
pressure.
• Reduce risk for type 2
diabetes, heart attack, stroke,
and several forms of cancer.
• Reduce arthritis pain and
associated disability.
• Reduce risk for
osteoporosis and falls.
• Reduce symptoms of
depression and anxiety
