Fitness: Exercise and Look Younger, Feel Younger

By JB Johnson

Fitness: Exercise is legal mood-altering. Exercise relaxes you and reduces stress. This makes you look, feel younger, more youthful. Physical fitness promotes youthfulness. 

The role of fitness in health: 

Have you ever noticed how much older you look when you are stressed-out?

Taking care of yourself physically, exercising, and learning a deep relaxation technique can actually make you appear and feel younger and more youthful.

When you are worried and/or stressed, extra demands are placed on your body. This increases your need for good nutrition and sleep. Many scientists believe adequate sleep and good nutrition even combat the negative effects stress can have. Another potent weapon against stress and its aging effect is exercise. A regular program of aerobic exercises will:

• Increase energy levels
• Make you feel younger, more youthful.
• Improve self-esteem
• Clear your mind
• Make you appear more youthful
• Relax tensed muscles, including facial muscles where tension is aging, thus making you look younger.

Deep relaxation makes you feel calm and refreshed. It is difficult to feel stress when your body is relaxed.

In a mere 20 minutes per day, you can trade tension for relaxation and look and feel younger in the process. Better than an anti-aging pill.

Exercise is legal mood-altering without a prescription... Exercising with music is even better.

Give it a try. Play that music and get exercising for at least five minutes. It is an over-the-counter way to improve your mental outlook and your physical self.

Extend  that  exercise until you are up to at least  30  minutes. Your disposition will rise with the length of time you exercise.

Play  your  favorite hot music and dance around the  room  alone. Wonderful exercise; wonderful mood elevator.

Or try walking briskly in the park with a headset tuned to music. You'll  come  home  relaxed and feeling sensational from the  music  and  the outdoors.

In the meantime, whenever anxiety is getting the upper hand in your life, ask yourself what's the worst thing that could happen. If it is something drastic, rethink your priorities. If not, you can be more relaxed when your problems are put in perspective.
