The most important factor for survival – after water, air, salt, and

food – is exercise. Exercise is more important to the health of the

individual than sex, entertainment, or anything else that might be

pleasurable. The following points explain the importance of exercise

for better health and a longer, pain-free life.

 

* Exercise expands the vascular system in the muscle tissue and

prevents hypertension.

 

* It opens the capillaries in the muscle tissue and by lower the

resistance to blood flow in the arterial system, causes blood

pressure to drop to normal.

 

* Exercise stimulates the activity of fat-burning enzymes for

manufacture of the constantly needed energy for muscle activity. When

you train, you are in effect changing the source of energy for muscle

activity. You convert the energy source from sugar that is in

circulation to fat that is stored in the muscle itself.

 

* Exercise makes muscles burn, as additional fuel, some of the amino

acids that would otherwise reach toxic levels in the body. In their

greater-than-normal levels in the blood—usually reached in an

unexercised body—certain branched-chain amino acids cause a drastic

destruction and depletion to other vital amino acids. Some of these

discarded essential amino acids are constantly needed by the brain to

manufacture its neurotransmitters. Two of these essential amino acids

are tryptophan and tyrosine. A more important role of tryptophan than

its use as a precursor of neurotransmitters in the brain is its role

in an enzyme system that recognizes and repairs incorrect DNA

transcriptions. The brain also uses tryptophan to make serotonin,

melatonin, tryptamine, and indolamine, all of which are

antidepressants and regulate sugar levels and blood pressure.

Tyrosine is used for the manufacture of adrenalin, noradrenaline,

dopamine—vital for the coordination of body physiology when it has to

take physical action such as fighting, running, playing sports, and

so on. Excess tyrosine loss from the amino acid reserves of the body

is also a primary factor in Parkinson's disease.

 

* Unexercised muscle gets broken down. As a result of the excretion

of muscle parts from the body, some of the reserves of zinc and

vitamin B6 also get lost. At a certain stage of this constant

depletion of vitamin B6 and zinc, certain mental disorders and

neurological complications occur. In effect, this happens in

autoimmune diseases, including lupus and muscular dystrophy.

 

* Exercise makes the muscles hold more water in reserve and prevents

increased concentration of blood, which would otherwise damage the

lining of the blood vessel walls.

 

* Exercise lowers blood sugar in diabetics and decreases their need

for insulin or tablet medications.

 

* Exercise compels the liver to manufacture sugar from the fat that

it stores or the fat that is circulating within the blood.

 

* Exercise causes an increase in the mobility of the joints in the

body. It causes the creation of an intermittent vacuum inside the

joint cavities. The force of the vacuum causes suction of water into

the cavity. Water in the joint cavity brings dissolved nutrients to

the cells inside the cartilage. Increased water content of the

cartilage also adds to its lubrication and smoother bone-on-bone

gliding movements of the joint.

 

* Leg muscles act as secondary hearts. By their contractions and

relaxations during the time we are upright, the leg muscles overcome

the force of gravity. They pump into the venous system the blood that

was sent to the legs. Because of the pressure breakers—and one-

directional valves in the vein—the blood in the leg veins is pushed

upward against gravity by frequent contraction of the leg muscles.

This is how the leg muscles act as hearts for the venous system in

the body. This is a value to exercise that not many people

appreciate. Leg muscles also cause an equally effective flow within

the lymphatic system and cause edema in the legs to disappear.

 

* Exercise strengthens the bones of the body and helps prevent

osteoporosis.

 

* Exercise increases the production of all vital hormones, enhancing

libido and heightening sexual performance.

 

* One hour of walking will cause the activation of fat-burning

enzymes, which remain active for twelve hours. A morning and

afternoon walk will keep these enzymes active around the clock and

will cause clearance of cholesterol deposits in the arterial system.

 

* Exercise will enhance the activity of the adrenaline-operated

sympathetic nerve system. Adrenaline will also reduce the over-

secretion of histamine and, as a result, will prevent asthma attacks

and allergic reactions—provided the body is fully hydrated.

 

* Exercise will increase production of endorphins, enkephalins, and

dynorphins, the natural opiates of the body. They produce the

same " high " that drug addicts try to achieve through their abusive

intake.

 

 

WHAT ARE THE BEST FORMS OF EXERCISE?

 

Exercising the body for endurance is better than exercising it for

speed or for building excess muscle. In selecting an exercise, you

should consider its lifetime value. A long-distance runner will enjoy

the exercise value of long-distance runs into old age. A sprinter

will not sprint for exercise at a later phase of life.

 

The best exercise that you can enjoy—even to a ripe old age, and

without causing damage to your joints—is walking. Other exercises

that will increase your endurance are swimming, golf, skiing,

skating, climbing, tennis, squash, bicycling, tai chi, dancing, yoga,

and aerobics. In selecting an exercise, evaluate its ability to keep

the fat-burning enzymes active for longer durations. Outdoor forms of

exercise are more beneficial to the body than indoor. The body

becomes better connected to nature.

 

The four most vital steps to better health are: balancing the water

and salt content of the body, exercising the muscle mass of the body—

more effective in the open and in sunlight—taking a balanced daily

diet of proteins and vegetables, and avoiding dehydrating beverages.

These simple steps will be effective in the prevention of disease and

are the foundation to any cure process the body needs to undergo.
