VI. Read the passage (Unseen passage) (15 Marks)

Regular exercise is essential for maintaining good physical and mental health. Engaging in
physical activity has numerous benefits that contribute to overall well-being. Firstly, exercise helps control
body weight by burning calories and increasing metabolism. This is crucial in preventing obesity and related
health issues.
Moreover, regular exercise promotes cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart and
improving circulation. It lowers the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure, ensuring a healthier life.
Exercise also plays a significant role in enhancing mood and reducing stress. Physical activity stimulates the
production of endorphins, the body's natural mood lifters, which can alleviate symptoms of anxiety and
depression.
Additionally, regular exercise is essential for building and maintaining strong muscles and bones,
preventing osteoporosis and muscle atrophy. It also improves flexibility and balance, reducing the risk of falls
and injuries, especially in older individuals.

In conclusion, incorporating regular exercise into your routine brings a multitude of health
benefits, ranging from weight management to mental well-being. Taking small steps towards a more active
lifestyle can have a lasting positive impact on your overall health.
