The abrupt transition from a completely sedentary life, suddenly having to walk four miles jogging, or participating in school liability in a sport that abhors, is enough to discourage anyone.

However, if you find a form of activity that is appropriate for your body and follows the proper rhythm, rather than cause discomfort, the exercise will stimulate the release of certain chemicals in your body that produce a feeling of wellbeing.

But before heading to the walker or get sneakers for a run to the park, read on because the benefits of exercise regularly practiced not end there.

The benefits of exercises, Dr. Miriam Nelson of Tufts University in the U.S., which has been scientifically noted in collaboration with other researchers, who in fact exercise can literally take us back in time.

Forget the creams, lotions and potions: Dr. Nelson has shown that devote only two weekly sessions strengthen muscles is the most effective method to counteract the effects of aging.

The first thing to maintain bone health is sure to have enough calcium in your daily diet. For a full report on foods that contain calcium, see The role of calcium in the body.

There are a number of exercises you can do to keep bones strong and healthy.

The main group of exercises that help maintain bone health are related to the strength and resistance weights.

Activities such as football, basketball, tennis, baseball, dancing, aerobics, and walking are good exercises for cardiovascular endurance training that can benefit your bone density. Also been shown that lifting weights helps maintain bone health. The first reason that this kind of exercise benefit your health is by stimulating bone formation. The bones are related to the movement of the body. Consequently, the muscles that attach to bone, also will be enhanced, giving further support to their bones.

Exercise and other sports and physical activities are beneficial to other aspects of their lives. Not only will help to clear and control your stress and improve your flexibility and sense of balance. Greater flexibility and balance are factors directly related to preventing falls and injuries in the event of the fall. It is common for older people experiencing problems to recover from a fall due to poor bone health because of the lack of training.

The health of your bones is an important factor in overall health. Making sure you drink the proper amount of daily calcium and exercise your body to strengthen your bones, help prevent fractures at an older age. Turn now to strengthen your bones will compensate later with a more comfortable old age and free of aches and pains.

Osteoporosis is simply a decrease in bone density that is observed during medical tests such as bone densitometry. Osteoporosis is in no way linked to any pain whatsoever. The bone is formed until the age of approximately 35 years and thereafter, it gradually loses his bone density. This process is normal aging. So at a certain age, the bone becomes more fragile and more likely to fracture during a fall, for example. But this weakening of the bone is a normal process and does not cause pain. The belief that your bones are fragile take you to worry about getting hurt more and fix your attention on this problem. Never forget that your thoughts create your reality. If you’re afraid of hurting you or any gesture because you feel weak, you maximize your chances of injury. The Tibetan and Asian people live but much longer than us and have no such concern.

People are generally poorly informed about the functioning of the human body and this ignorance is the source of many fears and concerns completely unjustified. If people had more knowledge, they act different and have much less concern. However, the medical profession sometimes contributes to the perpetuation of these concerns. Here is an example of one of my patients. A 60 year old man, glowing with health and very active, consult your doctor for back pain recently. The doctor diagnosed that his back pain is linked to osteoporosis. He mentions that at his age, he should be more careful because the bones are more fragile and he prescribed calcium supplements without any special consideration. You realize that many doctors create conflicts of diagnoses to their patients without knowledge and without any bad intention simply because they lack the necessary knowledge of the six spheres that make up each individual. As a result, they sometimes hurt them more to their patients they help. Never assume a medical diagnosis as an end but rather as a starting point in seeking solutions.

Therefore, the patient begins to consume calcium supplements each day. Know that the body needs a certain amount of vitamins and minerals each day but if the input is too much, the body eliminate or in urine, feces or sweat. So when the next medical consultation, the doctor made him do a urine test and concludes that there is too much calcium in their urine. It concludes that the cause of her osteoporosis is probably because the patient’s kidneys remove too much calcium and he prescribed the patient a drug to retain calcium in their kidneys and avoid losses in his urine. You see how a diagnosis can be aberrant when not thinking! Do not think that every health professional is good. There are good professionals and bad in every profession. As this patient did not suffer from osteoporosis and requires in any supplements of calcium, the body naturally eliminates them in his urine. His back pain was related to excessive tension of the psoas muscle in the hip as is the case in approximately 60% of the elderly. Two osteopathic treatments were sufficient to stop the pain completely.

Be aware that osteoporosis is not always problematic because we all lose bone density as they age. Know that it is not related to pain. Look for the cause elsewhere! Know that it is much more common in women than in men. Know that it is also often linked to psychological conflict “non-acceptance of aging. In Psychobiology, calcium loss is a loss of value and structure. This is often a conflict of general worthlessness of what the person thinks of itself, offset by the collective consciousness. Older people who are infected do not they say: “I’m good for trash; at my age, I am worth nothing, I am ugly …?

Remember they can not be and have been. He must live in harmony with your age and what you are. Let the mourning of your past and learn to value you. Accept that we should all grow old and you find that your symptoms improve. Finally, adopt healthy eating habits because food is one of six areas of the body that must be addressed. It has an important role on bone formation. Eat regular yogurt with low fat percentage. Eat fresh fish, especially oily fish (sardines, salmon, mackerel, …) that contain a good amount of omega 3. Walk every day. The repetition of “loading-discharge ‘(walking, dancing, …) contribute to bone formation. Enjoy the benefits of sunlight that contributes to the formation of vitamin D while protecting your skin with sunscreen properly.

To improve, therefore, should “force” that is to say, he must submit to physiological stress rather high. Enough in any case:

• Cause a physiological imbalance.
• Set in motion processes to ensure homeostasis.
• Stimulate the improvement of these processes.

The problem is we can not long maintain a high intensity. That is why the intermittent drive is so popular among elite athletes: it can perform more labor intensive than the continuous type of training, without causing too much fatigue. The other problem is that “forcing” too much and too often, we may suffer from over training syndrome. There are no recipes: we must learn to tit rate the effort and know when to spare before it’s too late.

Curiously, some physiological processes do not improve even if they are put to the test regularly. For example, the ability to pass the digestive system to the circulation water you drink during exercise does not seem to improve, what we do in training. It is therefore necessary to “force” the drive to improve fitness and performance. It seems however that we can prevent many serious diseases that afflict much of the population physically active for mild or medium, provided this is done regularly. One thinks, for example cardiovascular disease, including hypertension, dyslipidemia (too many “bad” cholesterol carriers, not enough “good”), in type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, to overweight.
“Volume” of activity and health benefits

The more a person is active, the more it withdraws to its health benefits. That’s clear. However, the beneficial effect of physical activity for health gradually tends to peak when the “volume” of activity increases. Thus, the sedentary person who increased physical activity and increases its expenditure and energy, for example, 1 000 kcal per week reduce their risk of many may be suffering from certain diseases. However, in a person already physically active, therefore healthier, an identical increase physical activity will not reduce as much risk of disease, since this risk is already low.

The best remedy of course lies in the practical exercise. To be effective, it must be regular, even daily. The benefits of regular exercise are many:

• It helps to fight against the crippling and osteoporosis and contributes to smooth muscle development.
• It helps to burn excess fat and sugar that clutters our body, reduces excess weight by replacing a portion of body fat by a muscular quality. By burning the fat of the blood, lowering levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL and triglycerides) and increases that of “good” HDL cholesterol, protects our arteries. It helps to retard arterial sclerosis.
• It increases cardiac output and regulates blood pressure: the first heart is a muscle.

It is essential to good respiratory health. Exercise increases ventilation and circulation in the bronchi and lungs. It is one of the best ways to ensure proper drainage of bronchial secretions and sinus, and fight against nasal obstruction so common among those who spend most of their time in rooms too heated, too dry, sometimes smoky, eating to excess without “moving” their bodies. It provides a better balance nervous, helps fight against stress and free themselves from the noxious stimulation provided by tobacco to alcohol, it makes a good quality sleep, including sleep and refreshing.
It stimulates immunity against infection and is accompanied by an increase in lymphocytes and Granulocytes, as well as interleukin, chemical mediator of the stimulation of immune cells.
