7. Increase bone density & prevention of osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become loose because of
interactions between the hormones in the body, the forming of bones and the
cells that dissolve bones. Persons suffering from osteoporosis have reduced
bone strength and that means that it is very easy for them to sustain bone
fractures.
Playing badminton helps those suffering from osteoporosis because it helps
the activity of the cells that form bones and it also helps assimilating the
calcium in the bone matrix, which strengthens it. Regular badminton games
also reduces various cancer risks.

In our body, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and
very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) are bad cholesterols and high-density
lipoprotein (HDL) is the only good cholesterol.
Regular badminton exercises help reduce the levels of bad cholesterol and
increase the levels of good cholesterol in the body. Bad cholesterol is not
beneficial for the health because it enlarges the blood vessels, which may
lead to heart attacks and strokes. The reduction of bad cholesterol levels
provides health benefits on many different levels.So play badminton and see the improvements in your health.

courts to your friends or opponents. Even you lose some games, but the
sense of enjoyment is something that other stuff can not replace.Try to defeat your friends on love like me
