5 Benefits Of Swimming

If you burn 500 calories a week with aerobic exercise you can reduce your risk of diabetes by more than five percent. When you swim three times a week for a half an hour at a time you can reduce the risk of diabetes.
- Give your heart a healthy workout by swimming. When you swim you increase your lung capacity, strenghten your heart and increase your blood supply.

- You may lose weight when you swim. The amount of calories you burn will depend on how long and how fast you swim.

When you’re suffering from the pain of arthritis it may be easier to just think that sitting will help with it, but in fact, movement helps keep you looser and that can help with some of the pain.
