The benefits of physical exercise on psychophysiology!

I always try to evaluate the intensity of physical exercise on health – the slow jogging or moderate physical exercise. The slow jogging is always done under aerobic condition which is beneficial in physiological or psychological viewpoints. The regular aerobic jogging also keeps the blood glucose level in normal condition. Previous reports argued that slow jogging would bring mental well-being as well. However, it is also necessary to keep the fatty acid level (LDL, low density lipoprotein) in normal condition, that may not be always sufficient with slow jogging when I consider the food-habit. So, in this perspective, moderate exercise is also necessary to sustain normal blood fatty acid level (LDL) as to refrain from cardiac disease (coronary artery disease; CAD). It is acknowledged that 1 hour moderate exercise can reduce blood fatty acid level up to 4 mg; however, it is also important to maintain a normal heart function during moderate exercise.
