Healthepic-Benefits of exercise.

Often we take exercise in a wave of enthusiasm and then we find it difficult to continue which should not be done. Exercise has much more benefits than we all know. Let's have a look at them:

Regular exercise taken properly increases the digestion of food, which contributes to health and fitness.
During first several weeks, the basal metabolic rate and habitual body temperature will slowly rise, if the programme is not too hard. The healthy person usually has abundant body heat and a warm radiant glow.
The autonomic and involuntary nervous system gets balanced due to regular progressive physical exercise. The tone of the vagus nerve, one of the nerves that control sensation and motion, is strengthened. This accounts for stronger pulse waves, higher metabolism and better circulation.
Improved capillary action in the working of muscular and brain tissue results from exercise carried to the point of real endurance. This permits greater blood flow and gives the muscles including the heart, more resistance to fatigue.
As compared to vigorous exercise, massage, heat and moderate exercise are relatively ineffective in producing additional capillary action.
The full use of the lungs in vigorous exercise can reduce or prevent lung congestion due to lymph accumulation.
Gas and intra-intestinal accumulations can be reduced by exercise that acts to knead and squeeze or vibrate the intra-intestinal mass.
Better respiratory reserve is developed by persistent exercise. This ensures better breath holding, especially after a standard exercise. With greater respiratory reserve, exercise becomes easier.
Improvement in tone and function of veins can be accomplished by repetitiously squeezing and draining the blood out of them and then allowing them to fill.
Sweating in exercise aids kidneys by helping to eliminate the waste matter from the body.
Persistent exercise leads to improvement in the quality of blood. Studies have shown improved haemoglobin levels, relatively greater alkali, improved total protein content and a greater red cell count.
By doing some exercise daily, chronic fatigue caused by poor circulation can be remedied. It also helps relieve tension and induces sleep.
Moderate physical exercise at the end of a hectic day can bring a degree of freshness and renewed energy. Exercise also plays an important role in the treatment of depression.
According to Dr. Robert Brown, a clinical associate professor at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, exercise produces chemical and psychological changes that improve your mental health. It changes the level of hormones in blood and may elevate your beta-endorphins.
Exercise also gives a feeling of accomplishment and thereby reduces the sense of helplessness.
