In honour of Movember, the month of moustache growing and mens health awareness, I have decided to focus on the benefits of exercise and how it helps to grow a thick, healthy soup strainer.
When we exercise, our bodies go through a number of remarkable changes. Everything speeds up and is done with great efficiency.
Our increase in circulation is one of the greatest, most influential changes that happens. The heart increases in beats per minute, helping to get the oxygenated blood to the working muscles and the skin. Transported with that blood are certain neurotransmitters, hormones, enzymes and proteins that help to build and repair damaged tissue, a by-product of exercise.
The increased circulation to the skin allows for greater nutrient dense blood to help grow that cookie duster to its full potential. Testosterone is also a large by-product of exercise, especially in men. Testosterone helps in the growing of all things manly; muscles, ego and hair, therefore being a key contributor to having that 1970’s Burt Reynolds special.
Testosterone is also responsible for increasing both bone mass and sex drive.
In conclusion, exercise can help the body with:
- decrease in cardiovascular disease
- decrease in unhealthy fat percentages
- increase in libido
- increase in energy
- decrease in chances of dying
But more importantly you can boast that ‘nose neighbor’ all around the office if you head to the gym.
Good luck and stay strong YYC!!
