Get the Benefits of Aerobic Exercise
A little known benefit of aerobic exercise is that aerobic exercise helps detoxify the body. Aerobic exercise encourages sweating and sweating helps toxins inside the body exit through the skin. Most don’t know it, but the body is really supposed to be eliminating two pounds of toxins each day - just through the skin. Aerobic exercise is needed to make this happen and it’s important that the skin is able to breathe properly to release those toxins, which can be easily accomplished by regular dry skin brushing.
Dry skin brushing involves brushing the skin each day with a brush with natural fibers - and in the direction of the heart. This is done to remove dead skin so the skin is free to breathe and easily release toxins. Dry skin brushing compounds the benefits of aerobic exercise by making sure that the toxins wanting to leave the body in the sweat can actually make it out the body.
In addition to helping the body remove toxins through sweating, aerobic exercise also stimulates the lymphatic system, which is a key detoxification pathway. Our lymph is similar to our blood in that it brings nutrients to our cells and removes waste from our cells. However, unlike other the blood which has the heart as a pump, the lymphatic system requires movement and exercise, particularly aerobic exercise, to function properly. Movement through aerobic exercise encourages the movement of the lymph and prevents it from becoming stagnant. It also encourages the removal of waste from our cells. Just like water easily becomes polluted when stagnant, so also does our lymph.
Old lymph, along with accumulated cellular debris, is dumped into the colon for removal. So, to get the greatest detoxification benefit from aerobic exercise, you can also do colon cleansing to make sure the cellular waste is actually removed from your body. Many health problems are caused by a dirty colon in the first place, so cleaning your colon can also be an important health measure - one just as important as aerobic exercise.
