The 8 Laws of Health
The Second Law of Health is
EXERCISE
The human body is designed for action and movement.
There are many benefits of regular exercise.
- Lowers resting heart rate and blood pressure.
- Burns up unwanted fat so you look and feel better.
- Lowers cholesterol and lipids (fats) in the blood.
- Increases airflow through the nasal passages and lungs.
- Reduces stiffness in the joints.
- Controls the appetite, as the brain’s “appestat” operates more
effectively.
- Increases circulation and oxygen intake, thus nourishing nerves
and body tissues.
- Improves muscle tone and blood vessels - changes weak flabby muscle to strong, firm tissue.
When deciding to start an exercise routine, choose an activity that will hold the training heart rate for 20 minutes at a time, then exercise 3 to 6 times per week.
Also, don’t forget to enjoy your exercise! If you don’t enjoy it, you will most likely not do it for long. Decide when you will exercise and make a definite appointment and choose to take time to be well.
Remember:
“those who cannot find time
for exercise will have to find
time for illness!”
