Physical exercise encompasses much more than keeping us fit, this activity has a direct impact on our biological and mental state.
Why does this happen? When we do physical activities, when we are in movement, our body produces endorphins, these are the hormones called "Happiness hormones". These neurotransmitters generate a great feeling of well-being and also act as a painkiller but in this case natural, greatly reducing anxiety and stress.
When we talk about the mental aspect and physical activity we must know that this considerably improves memory and concentration, at the same time physical activity increases and improves circulation and blood flow. New neural connections are produced, this means that physical exercise is also an exercise for our mind, in this way we develop the capacity and agility to be resilient and face challenges.
Our body has been designed to be in action, in constant movement, so when we take this care we regulate another neurotransmitter called cortisol, in this way our energy levels are regulated, here our immune system comes into play, with exercise this system is strengthened. Our emotional state is directly affected, we are happier and more positive. But if we neglect ourselves, our state of stress and even depression increases.
Exercise reminds us that we are beings, that our body and mind are interconnected and what we do for our body directly affects our mind, our emotions, that is why incorporating exercise into our lives goes far beyond doing activities to look better physically, this will give us greater mental clarity and emotional strength, we will live a more positive life and with more enthusiasm, I invite you to experience it.
