BENEFITS FROM DOING THE CONDITIONS FROM NOT DOING

ACTIVITIES PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES

What is It

Keeping your body physically active can help improve overall disposition,
increase the release of endorphins and offer meditation-like qualities. Physical
activity can reduce the fight or flight response often triggered by stress.

a. Mind-booster. Engaging in physical activity can improve moods and make us

feel better, increasing self-confidence, thus reducing stress. Exercise can also
improve our quality and ability to sleep, resulting in a fully rested body which can
definitely have a positive impact on our overall disposition and cognitive function.

b. Endorphin Release. Participating in physical activity can result in an

increase in endorphin levels. Endorphin are chemicals or neurotransmitter
hormones that are secreted from the brain and nervous system. It activates the

-3 -
body’s opiate receptors thus it has analgesic properties that can make you feel good.
It also gives a person the feeling of achievement and being in control.

c. Mind Stimulator. Exercise can be a form of meditation. While involved in an

engrossing physical activity, we may find that we are concentrating strictly on the
physical work. We tend to forget the problems and worries you have at present. With
this, our mind is somehow freed and stimulated to work and find solutions to our
stress.

d. Reduction of Fight or Flight Response. Stress, either big or small, activates

our flight or fights response and in doing so, deluges our body with different
hormones including cortisol, adrenaline, and noradrenaline. Over-secretion of these
hormones is brought about by stress, thus must be controlled and returned to
normal state. Otherwise it could interfere with body functions leading to adrenal
fatigue. Physical activity or movement metabolizes the hormones triggered by stress,
processing these chemicals and returning them to normal levels. Once these
hormones have been metabolized, the level of homeostasis improves, regulating the
internal conditions of the body, thus bringing in a state of balance and stability. In
this manner, we feel calm and ready to gear up and face the world once again.

Keeping the body physically active enables the body systems to function
properly with vigor and alertness. Staying in shape allows the individual to perform
daily tasks efficiently and effectively resulting to better output and performance.
