People are always being warned about the health benefits of exercising, mainly the improvement and maintenance of physical fitness and the prevention of heart disease, blood pressure illness, and diabetes. Countless others do not,while many of us happily comply. For some reason, 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.
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 is a much easier task to motivate people to exercise to improve their moods. About ten minutes of moderate exercise will have a positive effect on a persons mental state, putting them in a better mood, making them feel more energetic and less tired. On the other side, you can not expect to get good results from exercise (exercise along with healthiness) unless you commit to at least thirty minutes of moderate but regular exercise a day, for however long it takes ,usually forever, since ceasing to exercise altogether is not good for your health or 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? Well, because the chemical structure of endorphins is similar to that of morphine and because, like morphine, they prevent you from feeling pain. Morphine and endorphins act upon the same brain receptors. Exercise not only releases endorphins throughout the body in the bloodstream you will find that you have had a significant reduction in cortisol, tension and anxiety as a result.
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. When you are finished you will find that you feel a lot better and will probably try it again soon. You may even get to the point where your exercise will improve your physical well-being along with your all-important mental well-being. - 16004
