Aerobic Exercise is PROVEN to Reduce Anxiety & Stress

Maybe I am thinking about stress because of the holiday season.

Must Find Gifts!

Anyway, i just read this great article about how exercise relieves stress.

Is there anything that exercise can not due!?!?

Seriously, the research is clear.  Aerobic exercise makes are brains more resistant, and less traumatized by all kinds of stress.

So exercise for stress relief, and exercise for stress reduction!

Isn’t that amazing?

Now, yes, the research was done on rats, but out genetics are very similar (about 70% to be exact).

They basically exercised some rats and not others, and then forced them all into a very stressful situation (evidently, rats hate water).  The effect was noticeable when the rats trained for 6 weeks.

These exercised rats showed less oxidative stress in the brain, which can lead to cell death, and they didn’t exhibit anxious behavior like hiding in the corner when confronted with a stressful situation. Talk about anxiety!

Check out this article and let me know what you think: exercise reduces anxiety

And when you are stress outed, head to the gym and get your heart rate up, it is the best way to manage your stress levels naturally and effectively.  Don’t let anxiety get you down, exercise for stress relief and stay happy and relaxed!

We all face stress situations; that is life.  But that doesn’t mean that we have to get stressed out

Leave me some comments, let me know your thoughts and I will get back to you.
Thanks.
