Did you know how well your body produces happy endorphins in response to your workouts? Exercise has been shown to improve the sleep patterns of insomniacs, as well as lower anxiety. Studies indicate that exercise mimics the effects of antidepressants on the brain. Exercise is also responsible for the creation of new brain cells in the part of the brain responsible for learning and memory
Exercise has been shown to increase antibody production by as much as 300 percent. Exercise also directly increases the number of T-cells in your body. By increasing numbers of “hunters” (antibodies) and “killers” (T-cells), it’s no wonder a workout keeps you healthier. And since people who exercise tend to report higher levels of happiness, the exercise-induced happiness improves the immune system independent of the physiological effects of the exercise.
