Did you know that muscles have another important function beyond movement? They also act as messengers to other organs in our bodies! So, let's stay strong and keep our bodies integrated 💪

check out my blog post on medium: Uncovering the Secret Power of Muscles: hormone function

hormones support our health in so many ways and this is why exercise is so legit:
Here are some exciting reasons to be engaged on the science of the muscular system:
Exercise can be used to treat 26 different chronic conditions (Pederson, 2015)
Exercise can naturally lower systemic inflammation and help treat chronic conditions (Gleeson, 2011)
Exercise can prevent and treat depression (Schuch, 2019)
Muscular strength and aerobic fitness can contribute to lowering all-cause mortality
Exercise, along with Pain Neuroscience Education, can reduce chronic pain (Louw, 2019)
Exercise alone can make our brain more adaptable and healthier (Dishman, 2006)

If all of these impressive benefits are related to the endocrine function of our muscles, I urge all of us to engage without wellness with an optimized muscular system. Exercise alone is incredibly powerful and beneficial, but it requires a long-term commitment to truly reap the rewards. Success in exercise depends on various factors, including social health, emotional and psychological well-being, and environmental influences.

We can optimize our muscular system through a thought process on taking care of it as an integral part of our health. To learn more, listen to my podcasts on the Think Fit. Be Fit. podcast network. ‪@thinkfit.befit.podcast‬
