now i think we all know um that  exercise does help you live longer  

but the question is why that’s what i want to  dig into today so endurance running okay it’s  

inner genetics number one acquiring food  and number two avoiding being the food  

being chased by a tiger right so it’s in our genes  it’s a survival mechanism our genes over time  

have adapted to anything increasing our survival  okay so when you exercise all sorts of really  

cool things happen well let’s first look at the  number one cause of death on this planet it’s  

cardiovascular disease so anything done to improve  cardiovascular health would extend your life  

now there’s a very interesting study i’ll put  the link down below that that compared two things  

people that did physical activity versus  inactivity okay and they also looked at  

all-cause mortality and they found that  the group that did physical activity  

decreased their mortality by 30 to 40 percent  adding an additional five years to their life  

so that’s pretty cool but why well there’s five  reasons number one when you exercise you increase  

oxygen and oxygen is part of circulation it brings  in nutrients it pulls out waste and we know that  

hypoxia which is the lack of oxygen creates  necrosis it creates death of nerve cells and so  

the more oxygen the better the tissues are going  to survive all right number two physical activity  

decreases inflammation and there’s definitely  a correlation between inflammation and causing  

insulin resistance inflammation and having cancer  spread inflammation and more stress on your body  

number three increasing parasympathetics  now what is the parasympathetics  

that’s the opposing system to the flutter fight  mechanism it’s a system that is active when you’re  

trying to relax and you’re trying to sleep and  you’re trying to digest and so if you’re weak in  

your parasympathetics you’re going to be weak  in your recovery so like even when your heart  

contracts it contracts and relaxes right you  have the contraction which is the sympathetics  

and the relaxation is the parasympathetics even  when you exercise and then you stop exercising  

the parasympathetics kick in there and help  calm you down or help her cover you help you  

sleep all right number four physical activity  decreases insulin resistance and we all know  

what that does it increases insulin and insulin  resistance is behind probably the majority of  

major health problems on this planet and number  five physical activity increases growth hormone  

growth hormone is activated by several things  one would be fasting another one is actually i’m  

consuming a moderate amount of protein but  when you exercise especially when you do  

intense instrument and exercise it will help  you spike growth hormone and growth hormone  

is the anti-aging hormone so it might be good if  you start to include a routine physical exercise  

in your busy lifestyle hey before you go real  quick i have a course entitled how to bulletproof  

your immune system it’s a free course i want  you to take it and here’s why here’s you  

here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here  

avoiding your environment but what about here  what about strengthening your immune system  

that’s what’s missing this course will show  you how to bulletproof yourself and so you  

can tolerate and resist your environment much  better by strengthening your own immune system
