Exercise for Healthy Living

Exercise for Healthy Living

Exercise is like an essential nutrient; without it, our body malfunctions…

Your energy and motivation, each and every day, are direct outcomes of how well you take care of yourself.

So I am curious.

Do you include exercise for healthy living?

Of what importance do you place on this activity?

Are you living your best life?

How We Exercise Today

Less than five percent of adults participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day.  Only one in three adults receive the recommended amount of physical activity each week.   More than eighty percent of adults do not meet the guidelines for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities.  Furthermore more than eighty percent of adolescents do not do enough aerobic physical activiny to meet the guildlines for youth.

How Are Ancestors Exercised

Unlike our hunter-gatherer ancestors, most of us now engage in little physical activity. Our biological ancestors were very active.  They engaged in hours of vigorous physical activity every day.  All walking or running everywhere they went.   It required hard manual to meet their basic needs.

Exercise For Healthy Living

The Industrial Revolution has changed human existence.  Machines and technology replace work that was  done by hand.  We no longer hunt or farm.  Today we work while sitting at a desk or standing behind a counter.  We drive to the nerest Quick Trip on every corner. Similarly, we read books, play video games, and watch movies and television.  We seldom walk or run; instead, we use automobiles, trains, taxis, and buses.

We Suffer From Lack of Activity

This lack of activity contributes to our epidemic of physical problems.  We experience low back pain and spine problems, fatigue, arthritis, osteoporosis, obesity and a host of chronic diseases.  Exercise is good because it promotes the health of cells.  Movement prevents  the two causes of disease; Deficiency and Toxicity.  Moving  promots efficient nutrient delivery to the cells.  This is by  stimulating the lymphatic system, which is  vital for removing toxins from cells.

Exercise for healthy living is great for body and mind; it slows the effects of aging.  Also it  reduces pain and helps to improve mood, clarity, balance, and coordination.  The body has almost seven hundred different muscles.  Without physical activity, these muscles quickly waste away and lose their strength.  When certain muscles are weak, others will compensate to do the work.  This can cause painful physical damage to the body with long-term wear and tear.

Lack of Exercies Health Risk

Lack of exercise actually may be a greater health risk than smoking.  People who exercise and also smoke live longer and healthier lives than people who do not smoke but also do not exercise.  Consider what happens to bedridden people-bodies that do not move or exercise at all.  Their cells become more deficient and toxic.  Unused muscles lose 10 to 15 percent of their strength per week and half their strength in just three to five weeks.  Meanwhile, the bones and joints become weak, brittle and susceptible to fracture or breakage.  Exercise is important to brain function, and helps to engage and clear the mind.

  •  Releases brain chemicals that reduce feelings of anxiety, depression and  mental stress.
  •  Enhances the immune system (by increasing natural killer-cell activity).   Improves the body’s ability to fight infections.
  • Slows the onset of aging effects, such as slowed nerve impulses and bone demoralization.
  • Reduces the risk of developing Type II diabetes by about 25 percent and decreases insulin resistance.
  • Helps lower blood pressure.  Regular exercise can lower blood pressure by ten points or more.    Helps prevent cardiovascular disease by blocking the buildup of plaque in the arteries.
  • Dissolves blood clots and reduces the risk of stroke.    Reduces cancer risk.  Four hours of exercise per week lowers a woman’s risk of breast cancer by almost 60 percent.
  • Tones and conditions the entire body and helps prevent obesity.
