Workout consistency and heart health can be positively impacted by morning exercise. But did you know that workout routines can also help boost brain power as well as your willpower to forgo eating those unhealthy snacks?
More brain power:
Some research suggests that exercise increases mental focus and acuity for up to 10 hours because of an increase in the flow of oxygen to your brain. This natural result not only positively impacts your concentration and awareness, but it also reduces risk for problems that could lead to memory loss, enhances production of helpful chemicals that protect brain cells, and improves memory.
Though most of us would find these benefits desirable regardless of time of day, not many of us need to be more alert before we go to bed. So, if you wait until later in the day to exercise, you may be wasting that mental boost.
More willpower:
The only thing that may be more difficult than getting up early is resisting the urge to eat sugary, fatty (delicious) foods throughout the day. While ignoring your body when those cravings take hold can be hard, it might be a little easier with a little morning exercise, according the new study in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.
The new research showed that there subjects had more willpower to resist food “and participated in more total physical activity over the course of the day when they exercised in the morning.”
Boosting the power of will and brain with morning exercise is only possible if you actually get out from underneath your comfy covers. And, unless your body is getting the nourishment it needs, this may prove to be too difficult. A natural health product like NutriVerus™ could nourish your body the way it needs to be nourished with a whole-food matrix of vitamins, minerals, glyconutrients and antioxidants.
Here’s to an awesome early morning workout and all the benefits it will bring!
