What Are Exercise Benefits?is that exercise helps every cell in your body. That is right! But how does exercise accomplish this phenomenal task? We all have waste products in all of our cells. In order to be healthy, you must remove this waste. So, your cells deposit their waste into the surrounding lymphatic fluid. When you exercise, you contract your muscles. This contraction helps to pump the waste through the lymphatic channels and then into the blood stream. The waste is then delivered to the kidneys. Your cells are happy. Also, your cells need nutrition and oxygen. Exercise brings nutrients and oxygen to the lymphatic fluid. The nutrients and oxygen then travel to your cells. Your cells are very happy – and healthy! Without exercise, your cells would be bathed in their own waste products. They would be unable to deposit any more waste into the clogged up lymphatic fluid. The waste would accumulate in your cells eventually making your cells malfunction. Your cells are sad. Also, without exercise, nutrients and oxygen would not be able to travel through the clogged up lymphatic fluid. Your cells would starve in this anaerobic (without air) environment. Your cells are very sad - and sick! So, exercise benefits your cells making them happy and healthy. A healthy diet with whole food supplementation and good sleep habits can also help your cells to stay happy and healthy.

Weight-bearing exercise in particular increases bone density and decreases osteoporosis. In addition, exercise assists with better coordination, trunk stability, flexibility, balance and posture. Neurological connections are also strengthened. These factors are all extremely important for individuals with sensory integration dysfunction.
