Badminton is a Total Body Workout<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;\">While you&#8217;re lunging, diving, running and getting your heart pumping, playing a game of Badminton can help you burn around 550 calories an hour. The varied movements provide a powerful cardio workout by engaging the entire body, including the hamstrings, quads, calves and your core.<\/p><p style=\"line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Socialising<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;\">We recommend taking 30 minutes of exercise for adults five times a week. Due to increased home and work responsibilities, some of us may be guilty of not doing as much physical activity as we should. Badminton is a fun and flexible sport that can be enjoyed around your busy schedule. Most playing courts are available to hire during the day, evenings and weekends. You can even use your workout to socialise and catch up with friends and family.<\/p><p style=\"line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Badminton Improves Your Mental Wellbeing<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;\">Regular physical activity helps release our natural feel-good happy hormones and endorphins. Badminton can help reduce depression, anxiety and stress and improve overall mood and sleep. Talking to other players and rallying in singles or doubles means that Badminton is a social sport. Badminton can be particularly beneficial in combating loneliness among older players.<\/p><p style=\"line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Heart Health<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;\">A healthy heart is essential to ensure your body functions correctly and adequately. Badminton decreases &#8216;bad&#8217; cholesterol levels, blocking your blood vessels and improving good cholesterol levels. Badminton reduces the risk of hypertension (high blood pressure), heart attack and stroke.<\/p><p style=\"line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;\"><strong>5. Badminton Helps Reduce Health Risks<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;\">Badminton can reduce the risks of developing type two diabetes as an adult. It reduces the production of sugar in the liver, which in turn reduces the body&#8217;s fasting blood sugar. Whereas for children and young adults, chasing the shuttlecock and moving around the court at a fast pace can aid in developing bone mass and density. Badminton lessens the likelihood of osteoporosis in the future.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12406 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanabadminton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/about-membership-4.jpg\" alt=\"ghana badminton, Evans Yeboah\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ghanabadminton.org\/ghanabadminton.org_BACKUP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/about-membership-4.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/ghanabadminton.org\/ghanabadminton.org_BACKUP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/about-membership-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ghanabadminton.org\/ghanabadminton.org_BACKUP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/about-membership-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ghanabadminton.org\/ghanabadminton.org_BACKUP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/about-membership-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ghanabadminton.org\/ghanabadminton.org_BACKUP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/about-membership-4-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ghanabadminton.org\/ghanabadminton.org_BACKUP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/about-membership-4-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><strong>6.<\/strong> <strong>Increased Life Expectancy<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A Danish study found that playing a racket-based sport such as Badminton can increase your life expectancy by approximately six years. Football can increase life expectancy by more than four years, while cycling, swimming and jogging can each boost life expectancy by over three years.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>7. Improved Mobility<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As we age, our mobility gradually begins to become more limited. We can prevent this by lubricating our joints, keeping up with our fitness regime and remaining active. It also helps to minimise the risk of arthritis and other joint issues.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>8. Badminton is a Flexible Exercise<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Everyone can enjoy Badminton, regardless of their fitness or health. You can choose a more or less intense workout by altering your playing pace. Badminton suits your individual needs and the needs and abilities of the other players.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>9. Child Friendly<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With kids getting increasingly tech-savvy, using smartphones, tablets and TV as forms of entertainment. Motivating your children to get out and about and participate in physical activity outside school can sometimes be challenging. They&#8217;ll learn about the importance of health and fitness and new skills by bringing them to a badminton session. Plus you&#8217;ll be able to have a wonderful time as a whole family.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30496 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanabadminton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG-20230120-WA0021.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1008\" height=\"756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ghanabadminton.org\/ghanabadminton.org_BACKUP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG-20230120-WA0021.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/ghanabadminton.org\/ghanabadminton.org_BACKUP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG-20230120-WA0021-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ghanabadminton.org\/ghanabadminton.org_BACKUP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG-20230120-WA0021-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ghanabadminton.org\/ghanabadminton.org_BACKUP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG-20230120-WA0021-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 200%;\"><strong>10.
