The Side-Effect of Looking Good

Looking good on vacation is a great side-effect of being healthy

Regular exercise has been known to have great effects on health conditions from diabetes to high blood pressure and more. There have been plenty of reports of people getting off meds or at least needing them less often or in lower doses.

Exercise improves mood. Really, try it. Go for a run or lift some weights. Slam a medicine ball. There, don’t you feel better? Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly (especially when you get the side-effect of fitting better in your clothes), which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.

Physical activity can also give you a little energy boost. Are you feeling a bit run down? Run on a treadmill. Winded just climbing the stairs to GymIt? Meet with a trainer and try some circuit training. And if just feeling and looking better isn’t enough motivation, the Mayo Clinic says that Regular physical activity can lead to enhanced arousal for women. And men who exercise regularly are less likely to have problems with erectile dysfunction than are men who don't exercise—If that won’t motivate you to get in gear, nothing will.

In the end, while you may be exercising to look good for your high school reunion or a vacation to Cabo, that weight loss is really just a side-effect of being healthy and getting the most out of life.
