When you exercise, you’re already moving up the ladder toward optimal health. But in order to maximize the benefits of exercise, it needs to be combined with proper nutrition, sufficient high-quality sleep, stress management and holistic living.
You may think exercise is all about shedding excess pounds and getting toned abs and glutes, but these are actually just a fraction of what exercise can do for you — no matter how old you are. Even when initiated later in life, exercise can provide you with profound physical and mental health benefits.
PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF EXERCISE:
Slows down aging — Your body begins to increase production of cellular energy and new mitochondria, which may help slow down premature aging.
Gives you better skin — The increased blood flow from exercising boosts your circulation, thereby bringing more oxygen and nutrients to your skin. Resistance training can maximize results further, because increasing muscle mass can help your skin appear more taut.
Helps you recover better from chronic disease — Those affected with chronic conditions such as depression, anxiety, joint pain and cancer may manage the symptoms better through exercise.
Shrinks your fat cells — High-intensity exercise has been shown to affect genes related to fat metabolism.
Helps shape your immune system — Staying active as you age may help keep your immune system in top shape by improving its innate and adaptive functions.
