We're always being told that regular exercise is the best way to improve our health and stave off obesity. But did you know that specific types of exercise can help to reduce the symptoms of many common ailments?
Cycling for Headaches
If your head hurts be sure you’re hydrated and your blood sugar is up. When that’s not enough, hop on a bike. Cycling three or four times per week can get oxygen into the bloodstream and resolve a headache. Riding also helps you avoid the painful impact that comes with running and walking.
Yoga for Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Research has confirmed that therapy that focuses on the mind, like yoga, can be helpful for IBS sufferers. Grab a DVD for at home practice at least four times a week.
Hiking for High Blood Pressure
The theory here is rooted in ancient Chinese medicine. Walking on uneven surfaces can stimulate acupressure points in the feet and help reduce blood pressure. Improved balance and burning more calories are extra perks. Try it for an hour three times a week.
Running for Osteoporosis
High-impact activities are shown to increase bone density. Pounding the pavement does more for your skeleton than non-weight-bearing activities like swimming and cycling. So try a jog on the sidewalk or hitting the tennis court.
Walking for Depression
Going green is good for the earth and your mood. Just 30 minutes of walking in a natural setting has been shown to boost endorphins. Take this opportunity to explore new parks in your area.
Weight-training for Diabetes
Pumping iron only twice a week in addition to cardio workouts helps Type 2 diabetics. Those who incorporate resistance training can lower their BMI and improve glucose control in only three months. Increasing lean muscle boosts metabolism.
Postural Awareness for Back Pain
Maybe I can avoid skipping more workouts by enrolling in a course about sitting up straight and walking without slouching. The goal is to strengthen core muscles to support the spine. Pilates is another good alternative.
Take Care of Yourself
There’s no time like the present to take healthy living into your own hands.
