A clear mindset is difficult at times due to a busy work schedule. The nine to five job is a grind which can be stressful at times. The gym is a grind that can help with keeping your brain on track. The brain is just like your muscles. It can lose tone if you don’t give it a regular workout. I am going to give you ten benefits of why you should want to exercise daily:
1) Exercising delivers oxygen to the brain which helps improve your memory and reaction time to your nearest freeway exit towards the gym.
2) Is it me or have you noticed yourself reading more? Exercise and education are related so with that comes reading up on a wide variety of different muscle groups, diet programs, and workout routines, etc.
3) A proper diet is key! We all know 80% of it is diet so load up on vitamin B. Eating leafy greens and whole grain cereals with lots of dairy can be beneficial to the brain.
4) For some people going to the gym is like speaking a new language. It challenges your intellect while pushing your memory to the next level. This is great for the brain as it can be healthy for your social life.
5) Exercise also helps me with sleeping. Studies have shown a lack of sleep can affect your stress hormones which are commonly known as cortisol. Take the time to relax and get the proper amount of sleep. Cortisol can be harmful to the brain and exercising can help to lower it. https://medium.com/@Jos91/what-a-lack-of-sleep-does-to-your-hormones-and-your-love-handles-bae937288009
