Exercise has so many benefits that it’s often hard to keep track of all of them. There are so many things within your body that improve during workouts that it’s no surprise that it’s as trendy as it is today. But here’s one particular benefit we want to discuss: the positive effect exercise has on our eating habits. Here’s why it exists, and why you should pay attention to it.
We Know Our Bodies More
It’s not that working out automatically forces us to start eating sugarless food for the rest of our days. It’s about the fact that exercise makes us more in tune with our bodies, and more aware of what our bodies want. It just so happens to be that our bodies want us to eat healthily—so when we engage in physical activity, we’re learning more about our body’s needs, and eating healthy as a result.
Domino Effect
Another aspect to consider is the obvious domino effect that working out has on us. From a psychological standpoint, working out makes us feel good about ourselves, and thus more motivated to do other healthy things—such as eating nutritious foods. One good thing leads to another, and this is as true in our heads as it is in our hearts.
