you know I think people do recognize

that they need to exercise more exercise

can prevent certain health problems but

today we’re going to go way beyond that

and talk about

the level of importance that this

exercise has over our health through

looking at what would happen if you

didn’t exercise inactivity call that

sedentary syndrome or couch sitting I

want to look at and slice up this this

topic of physical activity from the

Viewpoint of motion and how much motion

someone has injected into their life or

lack of motion and how that relates to

your health and disease I found an

interesting research paper that talks

about

inactivity as the primary cause for over

35 chronic illnesses we have sarcopenia

which is loss of muscle when we age we

have of course the metabolic syndrome

which includes the raising of blood

sugars cholesterol as well as

hypertension and of course the obvious

thing is obesity but also insulin

resistance diabetes fatty liver cancer

so there’s a huge impact on how exercise

can enhance your immune system

decreasing your risk for upper

respiratory infections heart disease

arrhythmias and coronary artery

dysfunction then we have a stroke

dementia mood disorders and then we have

bone disorders osteoporosis increasing

your risk of getting a fracture

arthritis and immune deficiency problems

and then we have digestion and even

erectile dysfunction and so at the end

of this video

I think the next time you think twice

about exercising or maybe you want to

put it off this might motivate you to

jump in and start moving and start

exercising let’s take it right from the

top your mitochondria what does exercise

do for your mitochondria it increases

something called mitochondrial

biogenesis what is that that is a

condition where you’re generating more

mitochondria bigger mitochondria more

mitochondrial efficiency stronger

mitochondria and if you know anything

about the mitochondria it’s essential

for the production of energy and also

it’s highly associated with a lot of

diseases as well even cancer and so by

exercising you’re getting more oxygen

through your mitochondria you’re

generating more oxygen and you’re

reducing more oxidative stress even

though exercise creates oxidative stress

and free radicals and things like that

the strength of the mitochondria then in

turn through the increase uh production

of antioxidants it’s called endogenous

antioxidants in other words when you

exercise your body starts building up an

army of antioxidants to handle more

oxidative stress and just stress in

general so even though exercise creates

stress the extra strength that you get

from more mitochondria you can then

counter more more stress encounter other

types of stress not just oxidative

stress but pollution mental stress

physical stress and if we just take this

one thing your mitochondria become a lot

stronger in quantity and strength just

from exercise that’s probably one of the

best reasons to exercise there’s a

direct correlation between improving the

innate and acquired immune system

increasing more antibodies more strength

in your white blood cells to overcome

immune problems and even if you have an

infection you have a much greater strain

think that getting through the infection

and this also relates to the strength of

your immune system fighting cancer and

avoiding cancer I just did a brief scan

on this topic and there’s at least 13

major cancers that you can decrease your

risk from just from exercise and even

when people go through chemo they can

get through chemo a lot better if they

exercise on a regular basis now let’s

talk about

neurogenesis what is that that is the

regrowing of your neurons okay and your

brain and in the rest of the nervous

system so it does it through more blood

flow through another thing called

epigenetics which is you’re stressing

out the body to cause it to adapt but

very specifically you can start

regrowing nerves in the hippocampus

which is directly related to your memory

and decreasing dementia you also can

indirectly affect your mood bringing a

person out of depression or anxiety or

some type of post-traumatic stress

syndrome in fact there’s a direct

correlation with how much you move or

how fast you move and your mood if you

notice people who are depressed just

take a look are they moving much no

they’re inactive people that are way up

on the mood scale are moving all the

time they’re moving fast and then we

just have what exercise does with oxygen

throughout all of your organs there’s a

huge problem with the lack of oxygen

it’s called hypoxia

or ischemia and by flooding more oxygen

or circulation through the organs you’re

getting more communication through your

body and that can definitely decrease

the risk of all sorts of chronic

illnesses I mean when you think about

when you’re exercising you’re really

exercising not just your muscles you’re

exercising your organs too and your

lymphatic system another thing that

exercise can do is help your blood

sugars a very potent effect on insulin

it makes insulin more sensitive it

reduces insulin resistance which is

behind a lot of other issues as well and

then you have also what exercise can do

to elasticity of your skin making you

look younger elasticity to the inside of

your arteries that can allow the

arteries to expand and adapt to certain

pressures and to help postpone this

rigid hardening of the arteries and of

course we have the elasticity of your

joints your tendons your ligaments and

then also the muscles themselves I mean

if we just take atrophy for example

loss of muscle

there’s really only one stimulus of

muscle growth okay just one and that is

exercise or physical activity all the

other factors like nutrition amino acids

they have to be there as a foundation

but those in themselves do not trigger

the growth of muscle exercise or tension

on the muscle

is the only factor that will help you

grow your muscles and then if we kind of

take a deep dive right into your cells

you have DNA what does exercise do for

your DNA well our bodies have evolved

with a lots of motion and movement and

exercise and running away from tigers

and running after animals to catch them

and eat them when we exercise we survive

better our DNA starts to repair it

starts to turn on Survival mechanisms

and it turns off

anti-survival mechanisms those of us

that exercise and become fit have a much

greater capacity to repair at the DNA or

cellular level and so exercise is a

physical stress that can indirectly

greatly help mental stress as well and

of course most people focus on exercise

to lose weight which is about us 15

benefit which is I mean it’s not nothing

but it’s it’s something 15 is not bad so

it can help you lose weight of course

the diet is way more important but if

that’s your primary motivation to

exercise to lose weight then great I

mean I think exercise can really help

work on the muscle to get more toning

and help you get rid of this atrophy and

it can also help you release a lot of

fat off your liver as in shrinking a

fatty liver another thing that exercise

can do is help counter some of the bad

habits that people have so if you take a

look at a smoker or a person who eats

junk food or a person who takes a lot of

medications or a person who needs a lot

of sugar if they’re exercising or doing

more physical activity like physical

work which is sometimes even better than

actual exercise what they’re doing is

they’re strengthening the mitochondria

and the mitochondria being stronger in

numbers in size and strength can now

metabolize the extra sugar deal with the

extra stress because of its larger

antioxidant Network it can now help

counter some of the bad habits that

people have so I hope you’re getting the

idea yeah that exercise is not a trivial

thing it is a necessity now what about

for the endocrine system talking about

like the pituitary gland well you’re

going to increase growth hormone which

is the anti-aging hormone it’s the

greatest fat burning hormone occurs

mostly at night and intense exercise is

probably the most potent stimulus of

growth hormone exercise increases

testosterone and it also decreases

insulin so exercise is very very

important with the endocrine system

exercise also can lower cortisol when

you do aerobic exercise like hiking or

walking things like that now when you do

intense exercise you’re going to

stimulate cortisol especially if you’re

doing it of any duration but then it’s

going to come down as you recover and

that is the key thing with exercise you

must Focus also on recovery to get all

of these benefits because

if you don’t you’re going to over train

and you’re not going to get these

benefits and I might have already

touched on this but exercise in general

increases your capacity to handle more

life stress and that alone is probably

one of the most important benefits

because of what stress does to the body

and how it relates to chronic illness so

I want you to comment Down Below on your

current level of motion how much motion

are you really doing like let’s say on a

scale from one to ten ten being regular

consistent

exercise okay zero being completely

sedentary give me a number down below in

the comment section of how much motion

you’re injecting into your life and just

maybe this might motivate you to

implement this new epigenetic action

that can greatly increase your lifespan

and your quality of life so now that we

talked about exercise if you have not

seen my video on

stress okay and how stress can cause

illness you should probably check that

out I put it up right here
