The scientific connection and social perceptions between exercise

and a sense of wellbeing
The connection between exercises and a sense of wellbeing being
has been widely debated. These debates have varied from social opinions
to scientifically researched conclusions. Socially, exercise has been
perceived to be one of the most effective ways of achieving individuals
well being. Based on the varying opinion on the role of exercise on
individuals well being, this paper, therefore, seeks to research the
scientific connection and social perceptions between exercise and a sense
of wellbeing.
Empirical studies into the role of exercise of a sense of well being have
mainly focus on the role of exercise in eliminating body toxics. Scientific
evidence suggests that body toxins including urea, harmful fats and excess
sugars have been the main cause of medical conditions in majority of the
population. One scientifically proven argument is that frequent exercises
help in body metabolism which allows for the breakdown of excess fats,
sugars and salts. Rapid exercising has also been proven to improve heart
rates among individuals. These findings have formed been the source of
scientific perception between exercise and a sense of well being. It is also
believed that exercises help in the release of hormones that are

responsible for happiness. Empirical studies into the role of exercise in

enhancing the quality of life have yield affirmative results on the positive
effects that exercises have on moods(Kai,et al, 2008). This has gone a step
further in entrenching scientific connections and cultural perception
between exercise and a sense of wellbeing. It is also vital to state that the
emerging challenge of poor lifestyles especially sedentary lifestyles that
are widely associated with the majority of population have further
entrenched the existing social perceptions about scientific data and well
being. Socially, exercise is perceived to be the most effective methods of
improving individuals sense of wellbeing. Research has shown that
majority of the population are not only aware of the benefits of physical
exercise on overall wellbeing but also understand the scientific
background of this assertion. Based on this research, it can be stated that
the scientific condition and social perceptions of exercise on well being
are strongly interlinked phenomena that continue to dominate social
discourse. As Meir, 2007 Notes, there is a major connection between
individuals diet and the type of medical conditions that they are likely to
develop. This is a socially held perception that is widely connected to
scientific research on the role of exercise in reducing obesity. Obesity
remains to be the most common exercises related medical conditions in
the world. Being overweight has also been perceived to be a product of
poor physical exercise further underlining the connection between
scientific research and social perceptions between exercise and a sense of
well being. As an individual, my experiences are connected to the v
findings of this paper. Having been a ardent follower of physical exercise,
I find the findings in this paper to be true and reflective of the connection

between social perceptions and scientific research on the relationship

between exercise and a sense of well being. I
have had a stronger understanding of the physical toll that sedentary
lifestyle takes on individuals. This experience corroborates the findings of
this paper that underscore the existing connection between social
perception and scientific research on exercise and well being. Exercise
and diet are two interconnect phenomena. Based on the figs of this paper
and personal experience, it can be stated that indeed this paper
corroborates my personal experiences by asserting that scientific research
and social perceptions between exercise and a sense of well being are
strongly interlinked.
