Exercise for Better Memory, Sleep...and Sex
Adrenaline boost in the bedroom
A New Habit
A good workout brings a boost of adrenaline and helps relieve stress. These are the same pleasures most smokers claim to derive from nicotine. If that's the case, swap the cigarette for a long walk!
A study by the Archives of Internal Medicine observed the efforts of a group of female smokers in a smoking cessation program. The group required to exercise regularly was twice as more likely than the non-exercise group to drop the habit for as long as a year.
Better Sex Life
Finally, exercise has been linked to a better sex life. After all, staying fit maintains one's endurance and energy levels. A Harvard study has shown that physically active men have a 30% lesser risk of erectile dysfunction than those without regular exercise.
Those with a regular exercise regime say that they feel better in general about themselves, feel more sexually desirable, and experience a greater level of sexual satisfaction.
Now that you know the other rewards that exercise can bring, what are you waiting for? Even a 15-minute walk today is a good start to be well on your way to a fit, healthy, and better lifestyle.
