Exercise And Your Complexion

It is an established fact that exercise does the body a lot of good.  It can help you stay trim, tone muscles, and help to boost energy as well.  What you probably don't know, is the fact that exercise can actually help you achieve the complexion you have always wanted.

It is true that regular exercise will nourish the body and skin with fresh blood, oxygen, and nutrients.  Also, the increased blood flow and circulation that come with working out will help to draw toxins out of the body and improve the condition of all your vital organs, including the epidermis.

A lot of people think that sweat can trigger acne flare ups.  The fact is, sweating is great for any type of congested skin, as it helps promote the flushing of impurities from the epidermal layer and also clean out the pores.  The vigorous exercise can actually correct the hormonal imbalances that can trigger blemishes, therefore reducing the likelihood of outbreaks.

Any physical routine that you like to do, such as yoga, running, biking, spinning, Pilates, jogging, goju, karate, taekwondo, boxing and  any such activity, will help to lessen the stress that you encounter on a daily basis and help to prevent stress related issues.

Exercise is great for some skin conditions that may or may not have to do with the presence of acne. Your skin losing its elasticity or becoming thin and less resilient is something that we all encounter.  This is a common problem for many of us as we get older.

As we all get older, we start to lose collagen, which will make us look tired.  As many of us don't know, physical activity can actually help to promote the growth of collagen in your skin cells, which will plump up your facial skin and make you look younger and more vibrant.

If you are worried about wrinkles, you should consider relaxation that comes after you exercise. This has the effect of making your muscles, facial muscles included, soften up.  What this means, is that your lines will appear less pronounced, helping you to achieve a youthful look.

With exercise you can achieve a smaller waist, better muscle tone, softer skin, fewer blemishes, and an overall younger, fresher look.  If you wanted a change to your complexion, you shouldn't hesitate to exercise.  Exercise will help you feel more alive as well as improve your body.  All you need to do is taking a little bit of time out of your schedule to exercise .

Exercise And Play

 Often times, when children return from playing, they become exhausted and ready to take a nap.  This description is accurate and true as playing is more or less an exercise and hard work.  It is exhausting to the mind and body of the child and it plays an important role in helping them become productive and healthy.

Play and exercise in the life of young children provide them with several benefits.   Exercise of the body is a very important part of keeping the young body fit as it grows into an adult body.  Once we reach adulthood, if we have had the benefits of exercise and play, we all tend to continue with that habit well into our adult years.

Play is also good in the form of participating in organized sports, coordinated play times, and being a member of a large group during all these activities.  Playing on this level will teach us how to interact with peers and perform as a team with our fellow players. These skills are very essential in today’s business world. 

What we learn in body language, coping skills, and the interaction of the mind and body during our interaction with others is invaluable.  When we learn these skills to the fullest, not only will we learn how to get along with others, but we will also learn how to interact better with ourselves. It may seem pointless learning to interact with ourselves (body signs), it is actually an important part of maintaining the best sense of health and wellness.  There will always be times when our bodies are trying to tell us things about our physical or mental condition, of which if we understand will save us a lot of stress and health issues.

Through exercise and play, we will also know our limitations both physical and mental.  During play, you see children and young adults push themselves to their limit and beyond.  As children, we are all more able to distinguish between our real limit and what society itself calls our limits.

For children and young adults, the pressures of the world don't affect them as much as it does adults.  Children have a much better state of mind and peace, unlike adults that have allowed the outside influence the body and mind, which will do little more than becoming a dominant factor of time.

As you can see, the benefits that are gained from exercise and play time as children will benefit us for the rest of our lives.  As adults, we should not forget how important both exercise and play is.  

We should not forget that at their age children need play, exercise and interaction for their young minds. Don’t deny them that!
