#1249: Exercise-Good for Body, Mind and Spirit
“Yoga stimulates different nerves in your body, especially the Vagus nerve that carries information from the brain to most of the body’s major organs, slows everything down and allows self-regulation. It’s the nerve that is associated with the parasympathetic system and emotions like love, joy, and compassion.” — Deepak Chopra
Most of us look at the purpose of exercising as just stimulating your muscles and working your cardiovascular system, but it actually has broader benefits, Exercise also stimulates your nervous system which has broader mental and emotional benefits. A daily exercise routine has been demonstrated to elevate an individual's mental state and sense of well-being. When one achieves physiological balance through consistent training, dopamine is released which creates what is known as a "runner's high." Daily exercise is essential to an individual's well-being. This is a hard, well-documented fact. Stimulate your body and mind through a daily exercise regimen and you will not regret it.
