Science has proven that there are countless benefits to exercising for even a short period every single day. Here are some of the most common benefits we see at our Lawrenceville family health center:

Helps Control Weight

The thing regular exercise is best known for is helping you to control your weight. Depending on the intensity of your workout, exercise can help to prevent you from gaining weight, maintain medical weight loss, lose weight or add muscle weight.

Combats Health Conditions and Diseases

Heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes are all diseases that regular exercise can help to manage. Being active boosts your good cholesterol levels, strengthens your heart muscles, keeps your blood flowing and keeps your weight in check. Each of these improvements to your overall health helps to directly combat these health conditions and diseases.

Improves Your Mood

Exercising can also help to combat depression, lift your spirits or just help you to blow off steam after a stressful day. Physical activity stimulates the dopamine producers in your brain to make you feel better about yourself and the world. Our Gwinnett physicians note that daily exercise may also improve how you feel about your appearance, which is a great boost to your confidence and self-esteem.

Boosts Energy

Exercising every day can help to improve your muscle strength, boost your endurance, help your body to work more efficiently and even help you to sleep more soundly at night. Each of these things combines to give you more energy throughout your day — no extra caffeine needed!

Brings Back That Spark

Daily exercise can help you to feel so energetic and attractive that it can actually improve those special moments between you and your partner. In fact, women who exercise regularly report enhanced arousal, and men report less difficulties with erectile dysfunction.
