Staying healthy can be as easy as just working out? Yes!
The role of exercise in helping to lower stress - and the subsequent beneficial effects on health - has been widely studied. Most studies carried out over the last 30 years agree: a continual high level of stress has a number harmful effects on overall health. People who experience high stress get more colds, suffer more digestive tract problems and have more frequent bouts of fatigue.
Regular exercise helps relieve stress. It does so directly, by providing an outlet for, and consuming much of, the nervous energy produced by stress. It also helps indirectly by shifting one’s focus away from the external factors producing the stress.
Exercise can help the cardiovascular system, which in turn improves blood flow, carries away toxins from muscles and organs, and helps keep the kidneys and endocrine system working well. It helps remove germs and circulate antibodies. All those promote a healthy immune system by lessening the body’s susceptibility to disease, while increasing the robustness of the immune system itself.Exercising increases the body temperature slightly. This, as anyone who has suffered from a cold knows, is the body’s natural response to colds, flu and other diseases. The increased temperature helps kill the infecting organisms.
A study at the University of Colorado, Boulder suggests that moderate exercise helps prevent colds as well. It showed that individuals are less likely to get sick after stressful situations when they had engaged in a regular program of moderate exercise.
Exercise programs, undertaken consistently and correctly, help improve body image - that’s one of most individual’s primary goals in making the effort, after all. That improved body image often leads to higher levels of confidence and relaxation in social situations. That in turn helps reduce stress and enhance the immune system. Relax and forget the pills...the simple secret to staying healthy is exercise!

Hello,
I have been having leg pains for a while and not getting much sleep. My doctor recommended exercise. A co-worker recommended Mollie’s yoga class. After Mollie’s yoga class, I got the best night sleep I had in a long time! I am now looking forward to the cardio striptease and the belly dancing class!
Thanks Mollie!
