21. Benefits of Regular Aerobic Exercise

The benefits of regular aerobic exercise are enormous.

1. Your lungs operate more efficiently

2. Your blood vessels become enlarged, making them more flexible thus reducing the resistance to blood flow

3. You significantly increase the oxygen supply, causing optimum oxygenation of your red blood cells

4. The tissues of your body get supplied with more oxygen

5. It does wonders for your heart

6. It helps eat, digest and eliminate waste better by increasing the flow of lymphatic fluid around the body

7. When you exercise your body produces naturally occurring substances called endorphins. Endorphins help improve mood, relieves depression and helps you deal with stress better and helps you sleep better.

8. It will change your resting basal metabolic rate, so that when you are not exercising you burn up more calories.

It is beyond the scope of this blog to give you exact, personalized information on the type, duration, frequency and intensity of a prescribed exercise program.

Please consult with your clinician for ways to introduce exercise into your routine.
