Four ancient sources of health
SUN, SALT WATER AND EXERCISE
Exercise –Self reward with emotional, physical healing the bodies natural medicine
When GOD created the universe, he put self-rewarding system, you reap what you sow. This self-rewarding system is applicable to exercising for good health as you will see below.
WHAT IS EXERCISING
We all know that exercise is good for you, but when you understand why, it makes getting off the couch and into the gym a lot easier. Exercising is an activity requiring physical effort, carried out to sustain or improve health and fitness.
BENEFITS OF EXERCISING
Exercise makes you feel better in all sorts of ways. From the brain to the lungs, you benefit from a bit of exercise every day.
HEART
Your heart gets bigger and stronger your blood vessels become more elastic. That means your heart rate and blood pressure goes down, which decreases your risk for a number of diseases and gives you more energy.
Burns calories and fat, which contributes to weight loss.
Better control of blood sugar and lower blood cholesterol.
BRAIN
The increased blood flow also benefits your brain, allowing it to almost immediately function better. As a result, you tend to feel more focused after a workout.
Exercising regularly will promote the growth of new brain cells. These new brain cells help boost memory and learning.
WELL-BEING
Your brain releases chemicals called endorphins during exercise that alter your mood by increasing a feeling of well-being. Exercising is one of the most effective prevention and treatment strategies for depression
Exercise can help you to maintain healthy bone mass as you get older.
Unexpected side effects of exercise include improved sexual function. It is like becoming a virgin again, heightened sexual pleasure, clearer skin and improved mood and sleep.
Research shows that the “secret” to increased productivity and happiness on any given day is a long-term investment in regular exercise.
NEGATIVE IMPACT OF EXERCISING AND HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM
During exercise there is microscopic damage to their muscles each time they work out. It sounds bad, but it’s actually good. The muscle responds by repairing itself and that makes the muscle stronger than it was before.
The awful truth of exercise is that while it can make you feel better you’re going to feel pretty bad at beginning. It is called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness is the muscle pain that starts up to a day after unfamiliar exercise. That soreness usually lasts for 24-48 hours.
Severe pain, however, is considered abnormal. If it gets to a point where you can’t do the exercise again, you need to back off and lower the intensity. Take days off in-between exercises.
Stretching is the excellent way to deal with DOMS. Stretching is light intensity exercise that allows you to feel good and if you go back and seat down the pain will come back in my opinion eating and living without exercise is the source of most illnesses
One of the ways to support a healthy exercise regimen is to increase carbohydrate in addition to eating foods high in healthy fats, whole grains, fruits and vegetables.
HOW LONG SHOULD I EXERCISE
7-minutes full workout or the 20-minute workout
The best duration is 30-1 hour of moderate intensity workouts a day. Expect to feel healthier and stronger after two to three weeks of exercise.
Endorphin (the feel good natural chemical) levels might not increase at all until an hour after you’ve started working that is why the best exercise duration is 30 - 1 hour.
You get euphoria (emotional healing) like feeling when you exercise that’s the self reward,
NOTE; There has to be PHYSICAL EFFORT. You reap what you sow. No short cuts. If you eat and stay without exercising you are on the road to bad health.
