Regular physical exercise plays a critical role in the health and well-being of people of all ages. Notably, among middle-aged adults, physical workouts decrease the chances of obesity and hypertension complications (Lee et al., 2017). Research studies have revealed irrefutable evidence to show how regular physical activities reduce the chances of chronic diseases. In most cases, the provision of low intensity and moderated exercises helps improve middle-aged adults’ health. This paper aims to explore the effects of the regular exercise on the middle-aged adults.
Both obesity and hypertension are common diseases among elderly members of society. The most recent research studies indicate that the prevalence rate of obesity and hypertension among middle-aged adults is 44.8% and 63.1%, respectively (Doubova et al., 2017). The provided percentage shows an unprecedented change in the occurrence degrees of these ill-health conditions. In other words, the rates indicate the possibility of growth in the mortality tolls related to these illnesses. Therefore, appropriate measures such as physical activities should be taken to help in coping with these conditions.
As a nurse, it is vital to improve the well-being of every member of society. Therefore, designing the best program will be an essential approach to promoting the health of middle-aged adults. Low intensity, regular, and anaerobic exercises such as jump squats, swimming, and cycling will help burn the fats and improve cardiovascular muscle performance (Komatsu et al., 2017). The above techniques coupled with proper nutrition will improve the overall body’s health.
In conclusion, the recommended activities should be carried out regularly to ensure that the body adapts to the environment and models a healthy person. These patients should be sensitized to the health benefits of the activities on their bodies. On the other hand, nurses should monitor their daily progress to determine the required adjustment for improvement. The provision of these simple yet critical steps will help to improve the health of middle-aged adults.
