Stress ÷Exercise = Health
Posted by toast2fitness on November 13, 2009
This basic mathematical equation is one of the keys to stress relief. “Stress ÷Exercise = Health” Exercise aids in stress management in various ways. Some people quickly take medication in order for them to deal with stress and depression but that often comes with side effects. The best way to approach the problem is NATURALLY in which there are pros with no cons! It is my belief that only a very few amount of people actually need to take stress/depression medication. There are great benefits attributed to fitness mentally, physiologically, and physically.
- As life’s frustrations tend to build up throughout the day and week, working out gives you a form of outlet. You are able to turn negative emotions into something positive for you.
- Stress wears the body down by making you feel tired and you have a loss of energy. Getting into a fitness routine naturally gives you a boost of energy and a clear mind to sort out your stressors.
- Exercise t gives you a huge boost in CONFIDENCE! As you look in the mirror and notice the changes that YOU accomplished, then you gain a sense of self confidence that you can tackle anything thrown at you in the world.
- Most importantly, exercise gives you a “me time” that separates you from the annoyances of the world and a chance to reconnect with yourself and unwind.
- Also you can exercise with your friends as a sense of support, bonding, and motivation.
- Naturally exercise decreases the amount of stress hormones (cortisol) and increases the amount of “feel good” hormones (endorphins) which automatically brightens your mood.
- Lastly exercising speeds up blood flow to the brain which allows you to be more alert and think faster since it would be working at optimum condition.
