Exercise: Let your body do the healing!
So, everyone knows how good exercise is for your body, strengthening your heart, your lungs, and mind. But do you actually realize just how many medical conditions can be partially if not fully treated by regualr exercise. If you read my last note on why personal training is necessary than you may have been looking for this post. But if not, I just wanted to write out a few of the very common health-related conditions that can be supplemented with a great workout routine and better eating habits.
Allergies. Did you know that exercise is one of the most efficient ways to control your nasal congestion? It supports blood flow, and thus alleviates the discomfort that comes with a stuffy head and a stuffy nose. My mom will get a kick out that one!
Are anxious, stressed, or depressed? Everyone knows that exercise releases positive endorphins into the blood stream and to your brain. This triggers a mood-altering effect helping relieve some of the tension you may have built up.
Knee problems. This is another huge on that my Loder family seems to be "dealing" with. We need to exercise so that the muscles, ligaments, and tendons around the knee strengthen and then we can handle stress on the joint better.
Diabetes! Exercise helps lower excess blood sugar levels, stregthens muscles and heart, and improves circultation. All of this is going to reduce your stress levels.
The list of conditions that can be treated with good old heart-thumpin' exercise is extensive. A few more ideas for you though are: arthritis, cancer, constipation, insomnia, osteoporosis, memory problems, glaucoma and headaches. I think it is time that people start to reconsider how they deal with their medical conditions. Imagine treating your body with 15- 30 minutes of intense training each day, and consider what that might do for your health, your medical bills, and your quality of life.
If you have any questions, comments, or concers, please feel free to leave them here at the end of the note or message me directly. I look forward to hearing back from my [M] Fitness crew! And! Don't forget to share us with a friend, we all need a workout buddy!
