You would think that living in the 21st century we’d come to this realization that fitness is essential for health and longevity but apparently that’s not the case.
Fitness is way more important than just looking good and being able to lift heavy weights.
Top 5 reasons why fitness SHOULD be essential for everyone:
1. Better Brain Function:
Studies have shown that exercise produces BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor) which helps increase the ability to learn new things, improve your memory and clear your mind.
2. Improves Confidence:
Being able to get through a tough workout when you think you might not be able to, makes you feel accomplished. This trains the brain to get comfortable with discomfort and seek for more challenges in life.
3. Regulates Hormones:
For years doctors have recommended exercising regularly to help balance hormones for both men and women. Exercise improves testosterone imbalances in men and progesterone imbalances in women.
4. Mood Changes:
Exercise increases dopamine, epinephrine and serotonin hormones which have a direct correlation with fighting depression. Lifting weights helps hippocampus growth which improves the mood, reduces anxiety and clears your mind.
5. Boosts The Immune System:
Exercise sends a loud signal to the body. The insulin sensitivity improves bones and muscles tissues, making them stronger and denser every day. This will prevent osteoporosis, help with injury recovery and help the body’s ability to fight diseases.
Bottom line is, keep moving! Let’s keep our brains sharp and our bodies strong in order to fight Corona or any other disease that will come our way! 😉
