Do you want to lead a
healthier, happier and perhaps a longer life? There are two really
simple ways of doing so - exercising and dancing. Both of them bring
the body to a constant state of physical activity, which eventually
has an impact on the mental as well as the physical well being of a
person.
The next question in mind is
why are we concentrating on exercise and dancing in a single piece of
text. This is because there is a strong correlation between the two.
Dancing although more playful and fun filled qualifies as a true
sport and a valid form of exercising. Just like exercising it does
impact our “cardiovascular
health”,
cholesterol, blood pressure, etc. Besides it can also contribute in
strengthening the bones and improving one’s body posture.
In what is given below is a
list of the collective benefits of dance and exercise for the keeping
the body fit and healthy:
Managing weight loss
Exercising and dancing both
prevent excess weight gain. When one engages in physical activity of
any form, it is going to lead to the burning of calories. Moreover,
it is not always necessary to keep aside huge chunks of time for
exercising, if you enjoy dancing, put up some groovy music, and rev
up your calories.
Combating
health conditions and diseases
If
you are battling with diseases of the heart and high blood pressure,
exercising and dancing can highly benefit you. Any active person’s
body produces more of high
density lipoproteins,
which are nothing but good cholesterol, while also reducing the
amount of unhealthy triglycerides. Besides this can active body is
also associated with a more active mind, and it is also possible to
deal with some other problems such as diabetes Type 2, metabolic
problems, strokes, cancer, and more.
Dancing
and exercising can improve one’s mood
Busy lives of today are
taking toll on our moods and happiness. There is more stress and
anxiety in our daily lives, meeting targets and deadlines at office,
managing a household, and other things keep us rather busy and tied
up. Sparing sometime for exercising and dancing can be helpful in
warding off such conditions. When the entire body is active, the
brain produces certain chemical that make us feel happier. Your
physical appearance improve, posture improves, which in turn boost
your self-esteem and confidence.
Boosting energy levels
Do you feel winded after
doing the smallest household chores or walking only a few steps on
the street? This is an indication that your body lacks the physical
energy needed to do the slightest of activities. Regular exercising
and dancing can improve your muscle strength and so also boost your
power to endure. Your heart and lungs works better, and there is
increased blood supply to all parts of the body making you feel more
energetic.
Improves sleep
Finding it difficult to
sleep, or suffering from insomnia? One of the most effective remedies
for this is to exercise and dance. On the one hand these two physical
activities boost energy, and on the other hand also ensure one sleeps
in peace because there is reduced stress after exercising. Also when
the body muscles get exhausted after exercising, sleep comes easier.
Improved sex life
After the day’s work, do
you feel too tired or out of shape for spending some intimate time
with your partner? Daily stress and a weak body can drive the fun out
of your sex life. If you wish to restore it, it is time for some
physical exercise and dancing. By making you feel more energetic, and
low on stress can lead to enhanced arousal in women and reduce the
chances of “erectile
dysfunction in men”.
Have fun while exercising
and dancing
Exercising and dancing are
not draining on one’s mind, but let you freely grove your body to
certain rhythms. Exercising follows a certain pattern and so does
dancing. Accompany these by your favorite tunes, and unwind the
stress on your mind as well as on your body. And, why exercise alone?
Get your friends and family along, and enjoy sometime socializing
with them through the medium of dance and exercise.
