Just Get Moving

When all is said and done, you just want to get moving. As long as you are getting in a regular sweat session, you are shaving years off your physical appearance and improving your cognitive abilities. The reason why physical activity is so beneficial to your health is because it helps with the production of myokines.

Myokines are a type of protein produced in the muscles that gets carried throughout the body, improving your complexion. One study found that women over 65 who exercised at least 2 hours a week for 3 months had a skin composure of someone 20-30 years younger.

Of course, movement is just not about the skin. Movement preserves your muscles, bones, skin, mind, and your happiness, too.
