- Exercise enables you to think towards more of a positive outlook
- Exercise also helps individuals clear their mind by focusing on the activity they are performing.
- In addition, exercise also provides physical benefits that help weight lose, prevent chronic diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
- Endorphins are neurotransmitters that signal your body to be in a positive/happy mood. When an individual works out or exercises, these neurotransmitters are exerted which therefore leads your mind to be clear and energized.
- Study was shown that people who tend to workout on a regular basis have dramatically lower anger levels than those who do not.
- Internal Medicine at the Aoyama Clinic in Japan conducted an experiment with 40 obese women and had them participate in 60 second senobi breathing exercises. Results had shown that this activity had increased levels of sympathetic nerve activity. This type of activity in the body is said to promote a happier personality.
- After 30 days of continued senobi breathing exercises, patients have said to find there depression more tolerable.
These points made me realize that I should continually be working out, not only to stay in shape but becasue its good for you. I realize this because Miki states that "Exercise enables you to think towards more of a positive outlook". This allows me to see that those who excercise more are usually happier and feel better about them selves then those who don't excercise as much.
ReplyDeleteThis post made me realize that exercising does not only keep your body in shape, but it also is very good for your mental health. I realized this because of the points about focus, endorphins, and lower anger levels! How interesting!
