07 Jul Improve Your Healing Capabilities with the Help of Exercise

Everyone knows that following a regular routine of exercise is essential to living a healthy lifestyle. After all, an extensive amount of research has demonstrated that people who exercise regularly are less likely to suffer from conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and even certain types of cancers.  But, did you know that working out on a regular basis can also help your body heal more quickly?

The reality is that exercising on a regular basis helps give your immune system a boost.  As a result, your body is better able to fend of illness and disease while also being able to heal more quickly after it is injured.  Although it has always made sense that regular exercise would help promote healing, a recent study has demonstrated that it truly does.

In order to conduct the study, the researchers had half of their participants follow an exercise program that involved exercising one hour per day, three days per week for a total of three months.  At the end of the study, they found that the wounds of those who exercised regularly healed in 29 days while the wounds on those who didn’t exercise took 39 days to heal.

Although it is not clear how regular exercise helps to make wounds heal more quickly, researchers believe the resulting increase in circulation helps to regulate hormones as well as the immune system, both of which help to promote healing.

So, if you are ready to start living a healthier lifestyle and to give your body’s healing capacity a boost, take a look at the many different exercise machines we have to offer.  We are certain you will find a piece of exercise equipment to meet your needs and put you well on the road to enjoying a happier and healthier body.
