Exercise is a physical effort for the improvement of health. Improve means to make better. Exercise is a source of natural healing because it can improve your health without always needing a doctor's visit.
In fact, Western medicine is recognizing exercise as a method of healing. Jorg Blech's Healing Through Exercise states that "exercise has found its way into the heart of medicine" and that psychiatrists, oncologists, orthopedics specialists, dementia researchers and cardiologists, have reached the conclusion that exercise benefits people.
What does this mean? Start exercising; physical activity is essential for you physically and mentally. For instance, Blech states that exercise replenishes cells with "fresh nutrients and growth factors." According to Henriette van Praag, expert on neurogenesis at the Neuroplacticity and Behavior Unit of the National Institute on Aging in Baltimore, "Exercise is the strongest known stimulus to grow new nerve cells." With active use, these new cells increase learning.
In other words, exercise makes you smarter. In Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain, Harvard Medical School psychiatrist John Ratey states,"Exercise is the single best thing for your brain . . . and learning."
Now you can have the brains to go with that gym body.
In addition to good looks, intelligence, and overall good health, exercise also promotes blow flow. This is ideal if you're an aging gentlemen struggling with erectile dysfunction. According to Health, exercise stimulates blood flow towards the genitalia, which increases sexual desire.
