We are endlessly being encouraged to exercise in order to improve and maintain our physical fitness levels and to ward off diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. Some of us go along happy, many do not. Health and fitness do not seem to provide sufficient incentive to get us off the couch and unto the treadmill, into the pool - or even into a pair of sneakers to walk around the block,for some reason.
It's my belief that if more people knew how exercise can give them mental benefits, they'd start exercising more often. It is easier to convince a bored or lethargic person to participate in exercise for the benefits of their mood and emotions, than just for their physical health. Even though it doesn't make sense, this is how a person's mind works. Generally, if you are feeling low, you probably feel bad about yourself and maybe slightly hopeless you are not in the mood to take on physical challenges to realize the long-term goals of health and well-being.
It's a lot easier to talk someone into exercising in order to pick up their spirits. As little as ten minutes of moderate exercise can make you feel less fatigued and more optimistic. On the other side, you can not expect to get good results from exercise (health along with physical fitness) for however long it takes, unless you commit to at least thirty minutes of moderate but regular exercise a day. You will be doing this for the rest of your life, as to stop exercising will have an adverse effect on your healthy and physical well-being.
Studies have demonstrated that exercising impacts the brain in a variety of ways, among them, what is termed neurogenesis the development of nerve tissue) which is believed to enhance a persons mood and release endorphins. Endorphins are chemicals or hormones that are released by the pituitary gland in response to stress or pain which is exactly what exercise is to some of us. Endorphins send a message to the brain that blocks pain and promotes feelings of euphoria. An improvement in the moods of patients experiencing depression who have been given Beta-endorphin injections has been reported by researchers. Adrenaline, serotonin and dopamine, which are also released by your body when you exercise, work together with endorphins to boost your mood naturally and almost immediately.
"Endorphin" literally refers to morphine that the human body manufactures. For what reason? The molecular composition of endorphins is comparable to that of morphine, meaning that both can help to relieve pain. Morphine and endorphins act upon the same brain receptors. Exercise has more of a role than just triggering the release of endorphins in your body present in one's bloodstreamlevels of the stress hormone cortisol are also lowered, leading to less tension and anxiety.
The most significant thing is that it's not necessary to spend large amounts of time exercising. A moderate amount of exercise will significantly improve your mood. In addition to these natural chemical processes, exercise can, of course, improve your self-image, boost your confidence and distract you from everyday worries, making you a happier person on the long run.
Switch of the television and go for a quick walk. You will definitely feel better, a lot better, so much that you just might want to do it again the next time you are feeling bored or low, and possibly do it again the next time. There will become a point that you may notice an improvement in your mental well being as well as your physical. - 15266
