THE BENEFITS OF EXERCISE YOU CAN'T SEE

THE BENEFITS OF EXERCISE YOU CAN’T SEE

Improves sleep

Research suggests that individuals that workout regularly sleep better than those who do not. Exercise helps fall asleep faster without need for sleep enhancers. Therefore, if you experience difficulty in sleeping, why not get a workout plan for a change?

Enhances mood

Regular exercise results in the release of feel-good hormones, including dopamine and endorphins that improve your mood most of the time. It also makes individuals feel great about their bodies.

Boosts immunity

Exercising regularly is good for eliminating lifestyle diseases, including diabetes and heart conditions. You also increase chances of not contracting colds or flu.

Why a ‘bad workout’ is a myth”

Perhaps your ‘bad workout’ maybe because you had a bad day that made the whole week unfavorable, which affected your entire exercise plan for the month. Your nutrition could also be the problem or you did not have enough sleep, leading to lack of motivation to exercise.

I believe that nutrition science is a wonderful helper both for the preventive improvement of health and adjunctive therapy in treatment. My goal is to help people improve their health and well-being without torturing themselves with unnecessary dietary restrictions. I am a supporter of a healthy lifestyle – I play sports, cycle, and swim in the lake all year round.
