Health Benefits of Exercise

This is something a lot of people hate to do but absolutely need and that's including me. Half the time all I  want to do is eat and then sleep. The other half, I want to spend reading, blogging or watching television. Unfortunately, life doesn't come that easy. You want something, you have to work hard to get it. Exercise is not all bad even though it may be considered stressful depending on the type of exercise and the individual carrying out the exercise. There are different types of exercise options open to many, to suit your body and needs as an individually. There are also different stages, if you are just a beginner. 

Something good about exercising is that it has some pretty awesome health benefits. Let's check them out:

• Helps you to lose weight 

• It boosts your mood

• It protects the cardiovascular system 

• It reduces stress

• It increases mental alertness and memory: Exercise has been shown to help in the formation of new brain cells.

• It prolongs life

• It protects our body tissues: It protects our bones, and muscles by making them stronger and preventing easy wear and tear. This helps to prevent unnecessary falls and fractures.

• It reduces pain: Exercise produces endorphins which help to reduce pain. This may be helpful to patients constantly on pain medications.

• It helps addicts with overcoming their addiction easily: this is because, when you have your mind and body focused on something tasking, you may just forget another. The brain also releases dopamine in response to exercise, sex, alcohol, e.t.c. Exercising helps to override the cravings of an addiction too.

• It increases your energy: 

• It improves our sex life: How can it not? you are relaxed, you have lots of energy to spare, and you feel absolutely great and sexy with yourself. Encourage your partner to exercise too so you can both have a blast!

• It helps you sleep better: why not? when you are relaxed and happy with who you are?

Have fun exercising..... And you don't have to do it alone. Get a partner or group for motivation.
