Top 20 Reasons to Exercise
Now and then we all engage in some form of Convenient rationalization, especially when faced with the seemingly insurmountable task of transforming a fat and out of shape body into a buff, healthy version of its former self. But the reality is that many people (who are probably a lot more out of shape than you) have successfully dieted and exercised their way to a new look, and a new way of life.
That?s not to say working out is easy or takes no effort, but the hardest thing to do is to get started. Once you pass that barrier, the results you see will motivate you even further.

   6. Can help reduce likelihood of tearing or severe trauma from episiotomy.

Walking, running, swimming and cycling are the antidote to everything from stress and low self esteem to Y2K. Anyway, they are powerful and life-changing. Here’s how:

Quality of Life.
There’s no guarantee you’ll live longer by adopting a fitness lifestyle, but chances are you will live better. It’s the ultimate revenge: a full, healthy, happy life.

Fun.
Even if you hated sports as a kid-picked last for the softball team, creamed in dodgeball-remember that walking, running, swimming, and cycling are different. No one screams at or slams into you, you compete as much or as little as you want, you’re outdoors, and you set the pace. It’s play, not work.

Confidence Booster.
By setting an exercise goal-however modest-and progressing toward it, you become more self-assured. As you begin to feel and look fitter and healthier, you gain confidence.

Forget Dieting.
Working out burns lots of calories-and raises your metabolism so you consume them at a higher rate than a sedentary person even when you’re not exercising. Bottom line: You can control your weight without starving yourself by eating a healthy, balanced diet (including the occasional chocolate sundae).

Stress Relief.
Feeling tense? Overwhelmed? Unappreciated? Taking regular exercise breaks, as short as 30 minutes a day, can refresh and relax you. Use the time to calm yourself, regain perspective on what’s important, or even figure out a solution to a problem.

Fat-Be-Gone.
By working out, you’re losing fat and gaining muscle. Regular exercisers often have body fat levels at least 5% lower than the average person. You’ll probably go down a clothing size or two, because muscle, though heavier than fat, takes up less space.

Instant Friends.
Everybody tends to loosen up when they’re sweaty and out of breath. Participatory sports provide an accessible, non-threatening, casual atmosphere for meeting people. Opportunities abound: fun runs, a swim workout or lesson, a group bike ride, an organized hike.

A Spring in Your Step.
Working out can raise your VO2 max (the amount of oxygen your muscles can use) by up to 40%. That means you have more energy and everyday tasks become easier.

Cold-Killer.
Aerobic exercise bolsters your immune system. You’re better prepared to fight off viruses and other nasty stuff.

A Tougher Ticker.
Endurance sports such as running, walking, swimming and cycling strengthen your cardiovascular system. Your heart becomes more efficient and less susceptible to disease.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
