EXERCISE, Jenny's 20 Reasons

EXERCISE, Jenny's 20 Reasons to GET UP AND GO! "

 

When I feel lazy, and I'm trying to decide whether or not I'm going to

exercise, I reread this list and it helps me GET UP AND GO. I try to at

least get in a brisk 15 minute walk each day and get my heart rate up and

work up a sweat. Regular exercise does so much! Don't forget to

EXERCISE as an essential part of the " Raw Food Lifestyle. " (RFL)

 

1.) Exercise increases my energy and endurance; I can work longer and

harder when I am fit. I can keep up with all my children a little better!

Exercise helps eliminate chronic fatigue.

 

2.) Exercise builds a stronger immune system and resistance to illness

and disease. Exercise causes the bone marrow to increase its production

of red blood cells.

 

3.) Exercise improves circulation and gives my skin that radiant healthy

glow. It helps prevent or reduce varicose veins.

 

4.) Exercise helps me go to sleep, sleep better and awake refreshed.

 

5.) Exercise boosts my metabolism and burns fat and is an essential key

to losing excess weight.

 

6.) Exercise is an essential key to help me not gain weight back.

 

7.) Exercise makes me more limber or flexible and less stiff; it helps

prevent arthritis.

 

8.) Exercise helps prevent (and heal) back, neck, shoulder and head

aches as well as relieve tension.

 

9.) Exercise elevates endorphin levels in the blood for a sense of well

being and calmness. Depressions lifts and I become a more cheerful

person.

 

10.) Exercise jiggles the lymph system and causes toxins to be

eliminated, like a clothespin letting go of a sock. Exercise causes the

skin to perspire and excrete toxins, which purifies the blood.

 

11.) Exercise helps my heart, and eases the workload on the heart,

because exercise helps to circulate the blood to distribute oxygen and

nutrients from head to toe.

 

12.) Exercise stimulates the processes of absorption and utilization of

oxygen and nutrients; therefore it nourishes me.

 

13.) Exercise helps my mental health and gives me clearer, quicker and

more creative thinking. Exercise improves my memory and helps prevent

senility.

 

14.) Exercise balances my hormones and helps with female problems such as

preventing or relieving premenstrual and menopausal symptoms.

 

15.) Exercise strengthens my muscles. Stronger stomach muscles help

prevent back problems. A stronger back gives me better posture. Stronger

muscles make childbirth easier. I am more like the Proverbs 31 woman who

" girds her arms with strength. " Fit muscles help me fit into my clothes

better and improve my appearance as well.

 

16.) Exercise increases my confidence and I feel better about myself and

my future. I also feel better about giving a good example, of how

important it is to exercise, to my children and loved ones.

 

17.) Exercise helps regulate my appetite and cuts addictive cravings.

 

18.) Exercise helps my central nervous system; and relieves stress,

tension, and anxiety and enables me to respond to stressful situations

with more poise and self-control.

 

19.) Exercise helps my digestion, prevents constipation, and aids in

elimination; therefore it helps my body detoxify and keep the colon clean

and able to absorb nutrients better.

 

20.) Exercise makes me more thankful to God for the wondrous and

miraculous body He made for me! I say, as King David did, " I praise You,

oh Lord my God, because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. " Psalm

139:14
