10 benefits you get from exercising regularly

We have already said it and we will say it again, exercise is HEALTH and here we tell you what benefits it has.

We never tire of highlighting the multiple benefits that exercise has for your life. Exercising can help you live longer and better, look younger, and feel more energetic, strong, and motivated every day.

Exercise regularly and enjoy the benefits of exercise on your body and mind.

1. More exercise more happiness

It's proven that exercise releases serotonin and dopamine, called the hormones of happiness that make us feel more comfortable with our image and with a positive station towards all the situations we face on a diurnal base.

The effect of exercise in this regard is more lasting. What's more, it can increase the sensitivity of the brain and produce changes in some parts of this organ that help reduce feelings of depression and regulate stress and anxiety.

2. Helps to have an ideal weight

Being overweight and obese are related to chronic non-communicable diseases that claim the lives of some three million people in the world every year.

That's why doing strength training two to three times a week combined with cardiovascular training sessions stimulates fat loss, and increases your metabolic rate which will help you burn even more calories when you're at rest.

Strength exercise is essential because if you have good muscle quality you will be able to burn more calories from fat.

According to Alejandro Sarmiento, sports doctor and scientific leader of Bodytech, having a proper weight will not only help you feel good but also prevent cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer.

3. Strengthens bones and muscles

"Tell me how much muscle you have and I'll tell you how healthy you are." This seems to be the motto of sports doctors and physical trainers who are increasingly concerned with making their patients and students understand the importance of exercise in building strong muscles and bones.

After the age of thirty, people begin to lose muscle, a situation that, if left unchecked, can lead to an increased risk of injury, disability, and osteoporosis.

Therefore, strength training two to three times a week is necessary. To do it, it is not required to lift large amounts of weight. It can be done with your own body weight, elastic bands, and then move on to barbells and dumbbells.

According to Sarmiento" It's veritably important that the exercise is specified by a professional expert in physical exertion who determines the number of training sessions, as well as the type of exercise, reiterations, and frequency."

Maintaining strength as the years go by will make people get sick less and be able to do their daily tasks with greater confidence and security.

4. Energy to the max

Feeling tired, fatigued, and unmotivated can be the effects of physical inactivity. That is why it is recommended to do at least 150 minutes of physical activity of moderate to vigorous intensity.

You don't need a big budget to do it. With a good pair of tennis shoes and comfortable sportswear, you can go for a walk or run every day. You can also connect from your home to the sessions.

Daily exercise will allow you to connect with yourself and raise your self-esteem and energy. Far from feeling tired from half an hour of walking or doing a dance workout, you will feel more energized and motivated.

The stimulating effect of exercise will also lead you to make better food choices.

5. Lowers the risk of chronic diseases

Physical inactivity added to the lack of healthy eating habits causes an increase in the abdominal perimeter that poses a risk to heart health.

In women, a waist circumference greater than 80 centimeters is associated with cardiovascular risks, type 2 diabetes, and premature death. In men, this value is 90 centimeters onwards.

Therefore, maintaining a healthy weight guarantees optimal levels of blood sugar, blood pressure, triglycerides, and cholesterol.

6. Contributes to skin health.

Who does not like to see in the mirror the reflection of skin, healthy, luminous, and full of freshness, regardless of how old they are?

Well, exercise contributes greatly to achieving this effect because its practice can increase the production of antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative damage.

It can also stimulate blood flow and induce skin cell adaptations that can help delay skin aging.

7. Improves brain function

Exercise helps the brain by stimulating the production of hormones that can stimulate the growth of brain cells, improving their function and thinking and memory skills.

Many studies have linked the lack of exercise with the onset of diseases such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's.

In older adults, the practice of exercise is essential because aging combined with oxidative stress and inflammation reduces cognitive capacity, memory, and attention.

Exercise promotes changes in the structure and function of the brain, increasing its size and learning capacity.

8. Contributes to relaxation and improves sleep quality

Exercise produces connections of all kinds, especially in the brain, which are directly related to rest, relaxation, and sleep quality.

A person who exercises regularly rests deeply and is unlikely to suffer from insomnia.

The cell recovery and regeneration processes that occur during the rest phase help to wake up with energy and motivation to carry out daily activities.

9. Reduce pain

Body pain from poor posture, illness, or injury can be reduced with movement and activity.

It is important to analyze each particular case because lower back pain from spending many hours in front of the computer is not the same as joint pain from arthritis.

However, the evidence mentions that exercise contributes to reducing and controlling pain, as well as an increased tolerance to it.

10. Can improve sex life

The benefits of physical activity reach the sexual plane.

By improving cardiovascular health, muscle quality, and physical conditions such as strength, endurance, and flexibility, many benefits are obtained in this regard.

People who exercise have more self-confidence so their relationships are more satisfying and frequent since exercise also stimulates sexual desire.
