We all know that regular exercise helps with weight control. But did you know these other things as well?
Exercise will give you more energy! To some this seems backwards – I get tired when I exercise…and you might. More energy is a long-term effect of exercise.
Regular exercise will also help you sleep better. Being healthy and active leads to a good nights sleep.
And when you wake up in the morning you should be in a better mood. Exercise releases endorphins that make us feel good. For me, managing to accomplish exercise is enough to make me feel good.
Besides releasing endorphins, exercise also reduces stress hormones and that also leads to feeling better.
Exercise is good for your muscles but it is also good for you bones. Stress (exercise) on both muscles and bones strengthens them. Our bones get more brittle as we age and anything we can do to keep them stronger is good.
Exercise is good for a beating heart. Exercise strengthens our heart and lowers blood pressure, which makes the heart’s job easier.
The American Heart Association says and hour of exercise adds two hours to your life. How cool is that?
Regular exercise also decreases you chances of getting cancer. And can decrease arthritis pain too, although gentler exercise such as swimming is better for arthritis.
Any exercise needs to be approved by your doctor. Make sure you are healthy enough to start exercise. But exercise is important so, see our doctor and find out what you can do to get healthy enough for exercise.
