You already know that you should start working out and that is the one thing which has always been on your to-do list, like forever. If you do regularly exercise, you are probably aware of the benefits that it has for your health, body, mood, life, and energy. The benefits of working out are well known to most but if you are still not convinced enough to start building a workout routine, here are five reasons you that should do it already, for your skin.
 

Working out slows the ageing process

Ageing muscles have fewer and less efficient mitochondria, the powerhouse of every cell in your body.  High intensity exercises increase the number of mitochondria, as also their efficiency, helping to reverse the whole ageing process at a basic cellular level. Exercise is a stress buster, helping to relieve stress which eventually reduces the production of stress-related hormones in your body. Exercise also increases the production of collagen in the body, which helps in repairing your skin, delaying the onset of wrinkles and other signs of ageing.

Exercise interferes with hormones that reduce the production of collagen, the protein that helps keep your skin stay supple and elastic. On account of the increased blood circulation, the production of oil in sebaceous glands results in fewer acne-related problems. It also produces anti-inflammatory hormones which help reduce skin irritation.

 

Working out increases blood flow

Exercise increases the flow of blood throughout your body, which means that oxygen and nutrients are carried to each and every cell of your body. These cells, in turn, deliver the oxygen and nutrients to the skin, which helps in repairing sun damage and in controlling the buildup of free radicals. The increased blood flow even nourishes the skin cells, adding to their vitality.

 

Working out reduces cellulite

Cellulite is one formidable foe, difficult to get rid of. Cellulite is produced due to the malfunctioning of the lymphatic system which results in deposition of fats. When you exercise, the working of this system is returned to a normal situation, ultimately decreasing the amount of cellulite in your body.

Exercising makes your heart pump more blood than usual, increasing blood circulation levels in your body. This flow of blood, when it reaches your scalp, helps in keeping your hair and the follicles healthy. Exercising also helps circulate blood across your scalp, strengthening the roots of your hair. It helps you reduce stress, a significant reason for hair loss, as well.
