Why should you exercise?

One of my students, Peggy, from Advanced Level visited her family member in Australia. After she had come back to the class, she lent me the Australian newspaper for seniors. I found there an interesting article „Why should you exercise?“ 

Did you know that exercising can improve:

• Bone health: vitamin D from sunlight and vibrations caused by exercising increases your bone strength
• Moods: exercising releases endorphins that improve mood and reduce anxiety.
  It is great for those who experience low moods, depression, stress and anxiety.
• Oxygenation of cells: this helps us remove built up lactic acid from our muscles caused from stress and anxiety.Removing lactic acid helps relax tense muscles.
• Sleep: exercising in the morning and stretching type exercises at night have shown
  to improve sleep
• Overall health: reducing BP, obesity, diabetes risk, heart disease
• Lymphatic circulation/Natural detox: movement encourages the body to circulate lymph, help drain excess mucous, and naturally and gently detox the body.
• The down side: Just like everything else in life, too much and too vigorous exercise can be detrimental to your health.Exercising like a mad person (top ride, crossfit, running, cycling long distances etc.) seven days a week is not good.Off you go, go exercise to improve your health.
