If you think you can exercise your way to weight loss, I am sorry to say you are in for a big disappointment. You cannot out-work a bad diet and bad lifestyle.
Using exercise to lose weight without changing your diet is asking for failure. You can change your diet and lose weight, but if you exercise and keep your diet the same, you may gain some muscle, improve endurance, and be healthier overall, but you won’t shed many pounds.
However, combining a whole, unprocessed diet with the right exercise does wonders for your health. I don’t want you to get the impression that I don’t think exercise is important.
In fact, if I could put something in a pill that would reverse almost every chronic disease, it would be exercise. If exercise could be put in a pill, it would be the biggest blockbuster medication of all time.
Here are 7 reasons why exercise is still extremely important to our overall health:
- Better insulin sensitivity.
- Reduced stress.
- Improved brain health.
- Reduced risk for chronic disease.
- Enhanced detoxification.
- Slowed aging process.
- Improved sexual function.
