The Health Benefits of Exercise

We are all know there are many health benefits to exercise I want to share with you what goes on chemically inside your body when you do.

• Endorphins are released

• Increases brain serotonin

• Helps to reduce the level of stress hormone cortisol

• Helps stimulate the production of dopamine

• Increases serum concentrations of endocannabinoids

• The protein BDNF is released

• Increases the levels of Gaba

First let’s start with Dopamine. The reward chemical motivates us to take action towards our goals & desires. So if you’re feeling a bit bogged down and slightly apathetic exercising will inspire to move forward and get things moving.

Seratonin

When we have an absence of seratonin, loneliness and depression can easily appear. Motor activity increases the rate and frequency at which seratonin is fired within the brain.

Regular exercise also increases the level of tryptophan in the brain.

BDNF

The protein BDNF has a protective & also reparative element to your memory neurons and acts as a reset switch.

Endorphins

These act as pain killers & help to minimise the discomfort of exercise.

Gaba

Helps to induce a natural state of calm

Cortisol

Elevated cortisol levels increases risk for depression & mental illness. Regular exercise helps to reduce cortisol.

Endocannabinoids

The same ones affected by marijuana THC may reduce pain & anxiety & promote the feelings of wellbeing

Norepinephrine

Low levels of norepinephrine can cause fatigue & mental fog. Regular exercise releases norepinephrine.

Bottom line exercise is good for our physical, mental and emotional health. So find an enjoyable way to make movement a priority in your life as part of your wellness journey and for longevity.

To your health 🥂 because it really is the most important part of this journey
