Instead of stressing out about your to-do list for the upcoming holiday season, take a deep breath and consider exercising to relieve your tension.
Countless articles stress the importance of exercise as a way to enhance physical appearance, combat disease and live an overall healthier lifestyle. One key benefit of regular exercise that is often overlooked is the natural high it produces.
This feeling of euphoria, often referred to as a runner's high, comes from the body releasing endorphins during and after exercise. Endorphins are produced in the brain and are said to relieve pain, enhance the immune system, reduce stress and delay the aging process.
Exercising regularly also provides additional benefits including:
- Reduces Anxiety
- Builds Confidence
- Increases Social Interaction
- Provides Healthy Coping Strategy
Before beginning any exercise regimen, consult with a physician.
