10 HEALTH BENEFITS OF CYCLING
Cycling is good for your health, but did you know just how good? Here are 10 reasons to ride to stay in shape!
1: A MORE EFFICIENT BRAIN
Memory and concentration... Cycling enthusiasts have better oxygenated brains that function more optimally.
2: LESS DIABETES
30 minutes of cycling per day reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 40%.
3: GREATER SEXUAL VITALITY
Cycling allows better vascularization in all parts of the anatomy ... Including the most intimate.
4: GOOD FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH
Cycling, like other sports, triggers the secretion of endorphins, which reduces stress, anxiety and even the risk of depression.
5: A BETTER CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Cycling helps maintain an optimal weight, stimulates the heart muscle, lowers the heart rate at rest as well as cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
6: IMPROVE BALANCE
Cycling improves coordination, balance and muscle strength, which reduces the risk of falls, especially for the elderly.
7: LESS RISK OF DEVELOPING CANCER
The increased breathing and heart rate caused by cycling stimulates the contraction of intestinal muscles, which reduces the risk of colon cancer.
8: MORE ENERGY
A study conducted by a University of Georgia kinesiology professor found that cycling increases energy levels by 20% and reduces fatigue by 65%.
9: BETTER SLEEP
Time spent outside cycling exposes you to more natural light, and therefore helps your circadian rhythm. The anti-stress effect of cycling also has a positive effect on sleep.
10: A GOOD IMMUNE SYSTEM
Moderate physical activity makes the immune system more active and therefore more effective in fighting infections.
