incredible benefits of exercise that

goes way beyond

just weight loss exercise is an

epigenetic

uh stimulus what does that mean it means

that it it actually can affect your

genes in a very positive way our bodies

were definitely meant to exercise we

have over 10 million sweat glands that

is our air conditioner we have that to

adapt to

heat while we’re exercising and be able

to cool down we’re able to sweat at

least a liter every single hour if we

need to to maintain these temperatures

and exercise really activates a lot of

different repair systems in our body but

your results with exercise

depends on your rest and recovery so if

you’re over training you’re not going to

see

much benefit from these things i’m going

to talk about so let’s dive right in

number one

benefits to the autonomic nervous system

what is that that’s the nerve system

that works on automatic

and there’s two parts well there’s three

parts i’m going to talk about too you

have the sympathetic nervous system and

the parasympathetic nervous system and

certain body parts are more heavy in one

system than the other like your

digestive system is heavy on the

parasympathetic side which is rest and

digest

whereas the inside of the adrenal the

adrenal medulla gland is a hundred

percent sympathetic

but the heart is a nice 50 50 split of

both sympathetic and parasympathetic and

so there’s a test that i used to do in

my clinic called

the heart rate variability test which

measures the balance of the sympathetic

and parasympathetic

and the reason i’m talking about that is

that relates to the next few benefits

number two it decreases the risk of

heart attacks and this relates to the

test i just talked about see normally

um the heart beat has this rhythm lubbed

up dub lubbed up and you would think

that the

timing or the distance between the

heartbeat

should be all the same when you’re at

rest

but in a healthy body it should be

varied okay let me explain what i mean

let’s say for example your heart rate is

60 okay that’s 60 beats per minute and

so each beat would be a second right so

heart rate variability is measuring this

distance between the heartbeat it’s not

all the same and the more varied it is

the more flexible your heart is the more

elastic

your heart tissue is and the in the

vascular part of that when the heart

gets older or inflamed

it becomes rigid and that’s when you see

the exact distance between the heartbeat

and that’s not very healthy and so when

you stress the body there’s no room for

elasticity so exercise

strengthens the elasticity of the heart

it strengthens the variability between

the heartbeats and it decreases the risk

for heart attacks it also decreases the

risk for getting high blood pressure

because your vascular system is more

elastic in fact just exercise being a

variability alone can decrease the risk

of getting high blood pressure by 35 to

50 percent number four it can decrease

the risk of getting a stroke number five

it can decrease the risk of getting

certain types of cancer lung cancer

bowel cancer by 16

uterine cancer by 16 percent it can even

decrease breast cancer by 11 percent

because of how exercise stimulates the

antioxidant network to protect all this

free radical damage that’s occurring so

you’re actually building up networks of

antioxidants when you’re exercising

to keep the damage to your mitochondria

at a minimum and just to explain and

i’ll just jump to the last benefit which

is

increasing your energy

you actually increase the number of

mitochondria when you exercise so you

end up with more mitochondria and bigger

mitochondria which gives you more

capacity for energy so exercise

increases your energy alright number six

decreased risk for diabetes why because

in the muscle tissue the genetic effect

of exercise actually makes insulin more

sensitive so if you have insulin

resistance which is a condition

responsible for so many health

conditions a fatty liver weight gain

high blood pressure diabetes etc using

exercise to improve insulin sensitivity

is a huge benefit this is why it can

help your blood sugars so exercising

will burn off this extra sugar that you

have

and just in lower insulin all right

number seven

exercise decreases the risk for

anxiety and depression because you’re

improving

all sorts of neurotransmitters including

dopamine you increase endorphins as well

and you actually help lower

cortisol so this is why it can greatly

reduce your stress

and i think you should exercise for that

alone that benefit which is actually

number nine so as you’re exercising

you’re taking your mind off all your

worries

which is extremely therapeutic all right

number eight it can decrease your risk

for dementia and improves your memory

because part of the brain that atrophies

when you get dementia is called

hippocampus so exercise slows down the

shrinkage of that part of the brain

that’s responsible for dementia

and that’s that’s huge so exercise

improves your cognitive function it can

even increase something called brain

derived neurotrophic factor and help you

grow new nerves all right number nine i

already mentioned that it lowers stress

decreases cortisol which will help you

sleep better i notice that the more i

keep exercise consistent the better i

sleep number 10

exercise improves your willpower people

that cannot stay consistent with

exercise people that cannot do

intermittent fasting for a period of

time

or keep their diet clean for a period of

time um usually have a low willpower so

you can use these things to strengthen

it all right number 11

exercise helps reduce inflammation as

long as you recover from the exercise if

you’re over training and your muscles

are sore and you keep you keep

exercising and you keep having

inflammation then it’s not going to work

you must rest to recover after the

exercise number 12 exercise can help

increase longevity because of all the

things i just talked about decreasing

risk for heart attacks strokes cancer

etc number 13 exercise improves

fertility which is a very cool thing

number 14 exercise helps rid low back

pain it did for me recently i’m doing

the sled exercise i’m pulling the sled

walking backwards and i have absolutely

no more back pain it will also greatly

decrease joint pain and number 15 which

i already mentioned exercise will

greatly improve your energy on that note

i think it’s time for you to start your

exercise routine if you haven’t seen

this video on exercise i think this

would be the next best one check it out
