Scientific research tells you that cycling for half an hour a day brings 5 major changes

For most people, it's not realistic to spend hours a day on the bike for exercise (training) like a pro. But have you ever wondered what it's like to spend half an hour riding a bike every day? We can start with a small goal, such as cycling for 15 days in a row, and feel the changes that will eventually bring you.

you will love commuting

Not everyone can make time to go cycling for exercise every day, especially after get off work, they always feel exhausted physically and mentally, let alone cycling or working out in the gym, they may not even want to eat.

  How to do? Cycling to and from get off work is a great solution, especially if the company is within an hour's drive from where you live. According to 2015 survey data, in Portland, the most cyclist-friendly city in the United States, 60% of citizens cycle more than 2.5 hours a week, most of which is spent commuting to and from get off work.

In a city with heavy traffic, a bicycle is faster than a car, and while riding a bicycle, you can exercise your body at the same time. When you go home at night, you can eat an extra bowl of rice, and you can justifiably "lie down", which is really a lot of benefits.

As early as 2005, a rigorous German scientist study concluded that women who ride a bicycle moderately for 3 hours a week can reduce the chance of breast cancer by 34%.

Since I insisted on cycling, my whole body has become more energetic

Insist on moderate cycling - at least half an hour a day, it can help you reduce fatigue, improve reflexes, memory, and make your thinking more sensitive.

Cycling can also reduce anxiety and depression. "Cycling is the best form of exercise for stress relief," says Corey Kunzer, a physical therapist in the Division of Sports Medicine at the Mayo Clinic, the nation's largest general health facility.

Sex is more harmonious

According to Bicycling, an American cycling magazine, an Arkansas State University study of 400 volunteers found that men who exercised 6-7 days a week had higher-than-average sexual desires, meaning they More confident in this area (women's sexual expectations have also increased, but relatively less so). In addition, a 20-minute high-intensity cycling exercise can make women feel more pleasurable in sex.

Regarding the above statement, I wonder if there are netizens who ride bicycles every day to confirm it with their own personal experience?

Don't worry about eating too much

Especially for foodies, having two more desserts after riding a bike every day will no longer cause the guilt of "overeating". Exercise can partially counteract the negative effects of overeating (though you'll still gain weight).

In a study conducted three years ago by the University of Bath in the United Kingdom, two groups of subjects ate 1.5 times the usual amount of food per day, but one group insisted on exercising for 45 minutes a day while the other group did not do any exercise, and persisted after a week. Those who exercised gained an average of 1.1kg, while the other group gained an average of 2.7kg.

How many more years can you live

Several research institutions have confirmed through experiments that exercise makes people live longer. For example, in a scientific research project called "Oslo Study" in Norway, 15,000 people were recruited for a 39-year survey and research, and it was found that 6 days a week, 30 minutes of exercise a day could help them compare to their peers who did not do any exercise. People live 5 years longer.

After 8 years of data tracking and analysis of more than 400,000 people, Professor Wen Qibang of the Taiwan Institute of Health found that exercising for 15 minutes a day reduced the mortality rate by 14% and lived an average of 3 years longer.

Although I don't know how many years I can live, one thing is certain: I feel at least 10 years younger after riding a bike!
