How Exercise Improves Health

The journey of my fitness started with getting diet advice. However, the real change only happened when I got more awareness about importance of exercises along with diet management. They are both important for our well-being.

Here is how regular exercises help us in maintaining good physical and mental health:

• Strengthens your heart and improves your blood circulation.
• Exercise gives positive mindset and improve your health.
• Increased blood flow raises the oxygen levels in your body.
• Regular exercise keeps risk of heart diseases low.
• Regular exercises help in maintaining your digestive system and body to absorb all nutrients that we get from food.
• Lowers your blood sugar level.
• It can help with weight loss and brings glow your skin.
• Exercise improve your immune system and also help in sleep quality because if your sleep is not sound then no exercise and diet helps you to maintain your health.
• Work out 4 to 5 days in a week, but don’t forget to rest and rejuvenate. Rest is essential for repair of tissues.
• Maintain your exercise pattern according to your age and physical capacity.
• Avoid over-exercising because it causes injuries and create stress in your body, so go slow and steady and do exercises that suits your body.
• Don’t confuse activity as exercise. Physical activity is just movement done for getting work done while exercise is planned and intentional movement that is aimed at wellness.
• Exercise is a powerful medicine for many common mental health challenges too.

There are various kind of exercises and practices that you can undertake. However you should do all the exercises with a mindful attitude towards enjoying the workout and listening to your body.

You should workout with the objective of complete physical and mental well being not just losing weight.
