When we exercise, we are not just working our muscles, we are working our systems. We have many of them: the cardiovascular system, nervous system, circulatory system, reproductive system, and our lymphatic system.
One feeds the other. Just walking regularly makes a huge difference in how you age. We have become a very sedentary culture. With all of the time people spend behind a computer screen and on their phones, they are losing the habit of being in the body. Many no longer experience the pleasure of being in excellent physical shape.
I enjoy walking barefoot on the beach. The effort and energy it takes to walk on dry sand really works the leg muscles. Riding a bike in the fresh air and sunshine is something that is carefree, exciting, and it gets the endorphins going.
Practicing yoga and the breathing exercises really helps one to feel calm, centered, and in tune with the truth. Dedicated practice also keeps the body youthful. It takes discipline to exercise each day, but it's totally worth it. Your skin, body, and hair will reflect your health.
I rode the bus with a friend yesterday and he commented, "You and Carmela just don't age." It was so sweet of him. Carmela, (another bus regular,) is in her eighties, is very disciplined, and she walks miles each day. She used to be a hula dancer. People that stay physical as they get older feel better, and they have an easier time maintaining emotional balance. Among other benefits, exercise discharges negative energy.
