2

Good posture can reduce muscle pain.

Exercise helps people with diabetes control their blood sugars.

Explanation:

Exercise can help people with diabetes not only control their blood sugar (blood glucose) levels. It may also lower blood sugar in some patients.

4

Hamstring exercises can be good for the hip joint as well.

Explanation:

Because the hamstrings cross and act on the hip and knee joints, hamstring exercises can help strengthen and stabilize those areas as well.

5

There are no mental health benefits to exercise.

Studies show that exercise may help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. Exercise releases powerful chemicals such as endorphins and serotonin, which improve mood and feelings of well-being. It can lower cortisol (also called the “stress hormone”) levels and improve your sleep.
