The Magical Power Of Exercise

The Magical Power Of Exercise

As we already know, stress puts your body in a state where tension builds up in the muscles. Aerobic exercise can relieve that tension. Intensive and regular aerobic exercise also increases endorphins and neurotransmitters that naturally help your body to become more relaxed.   Regular exercise incorporated into your lifestyle like aerobic dancing, fast walking, swimming, running, and cycling will keep your stress levels low and help you cope better with stressful situations. Participating in typically competitive sporting activities such as tennis or basketball is not recommended as they also contribute to elevating stress.
Exercise can also help reduce acne and improve skin condition:
• When exercising you experience moderate sweating that cleans the pores from the inside.
• The blood flow to the skin is increased when exercising, thus it provides more oxygen to the skin cells. Also, the immune system is strengthened when exercising. Both of the above can speed up the healing process, fade scars and prevent further acne to appear.
• Exercise improves the functionality of your internal organs, which helps your body remove toxins more effectively and more quickly.
• Exercise rebalances your hormones, which maintains a regular production of sebum and reduces the chances of acne.
• Exercise improves digestion and increases the flexibility of the skin and muscles.
• Most importantly, exercise improves the functioning of all organs including the organs of elimination. This helps the body discharge waste more effectively
Make a daily habit to walk in the fresh air, ride your bicycle, swim, jog or wrestle.
Here are a few tips to help you get started:
• Consult your doctor to determine what type of exercise is suitable for you.
• Prevent the spreading of bacteria on your skin while exercising by cleansing your face and taking a full shower before exercising, and make sure your skin is dry. For the same reason, make sure your skin is always dry during exercise (by taking a towel with you), and take a good shower immediately after exercising.
• Avoid wearing makeup while exercising to prevent the growth of bacteria.
• Wear only clean, loose and natural clothing (like cotton) to allow your skin to breathe and prevent the aggravation of acne.
• Always wash your clothes and towel after you exercise.
• Purchase good quality athletic gear (shoes, socks, and clothing) according to the type of exercise you intend to participate in.
• Start slowly. Every smart exercise program begins with the first step and builds up gradually. It is highly advisable to incorporate a routine of stretching, a warm-up, and a cool-down. Look at your exercise experience as a journey toward strengthening your muscles and allowing your cardiovascular system to build stamina.
• Diversify as much as possible.  Always alternate between exercises that are suitable for you, thus providing your body with a complete workout. Your exercise routine will also become less boring.
• Always make sure you are well hydrated during exercise. Water will keep your fluid levels topped up and will also provide your body with the fuel it needs to benefit from your exercise.
• Join a health club. This will keep you sharp and motivated. You will meet other like-minded people that share the same interests and could also act as exercise partners who will help boost your motivation and inspire you. Partners will also make your exercise experience  far more enjoyable.
