Exercise helps glow your Skin | Effects of Cellular Respiration







Do you regularly exercise in any form? If you do, you would be experiencing a number of ways, on how beneficial it can be proved to your health and well-being. Here's another fact to keep moving- 'Possessing up a regular fitness routine can outstandingly improve your skin's overall appearance and health'. Don't be surprised if you get to encounter more of the Skin radiance that normally used to be nostalgia from the good old running childhoods.

That's right, not only the 'post-workout glow' but healthy and vibrant skin has always been a real advantage to a fit body. Right when you're exercising, you not only increase metabolism in your muscles but also in your respiratory and circulatory systems compared to when the body is at rest. At the moment we need more fresh air because the rate of breathing and heartbeat goes faster to deliver oxygen and nutrients to your muscles.



Cellular Respiration for skin health? 


Cellular respiration or cellular metabolism can be aerobic or anaerobic. Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen promotes slow production of ATP, while anaerobic cellular respiration occurs in the absence of adequate oxygen supply where the energy(ATP) production is high. Based on the intensity and duration of the exercise, frequent repetitions of fast and intense exercise, such as sprinting and swimming, increases the rate of anaerobic respiration. 

Both the ways of workout have been proved effective to burn calories and possess better skin health. Studies have discovered that the process of cellular respiration tends to be higher in younger skin than in older skin which led to a conjecture that if skin respiration could be increased then perhaps skin aging could be reversed.

But really a conjecture? Around us, there are many influencing personalities who have proved the theory of anti-aging by consistent handwork in the right direction. The 54 years old triathlon champion Milind Usha Soman can explain how.   


How does it work? 


Exercise increases the heartbeat boosting the blood flow more rapidly to every corner of our body. The oxygen that we inhale gets pumped to each and every cell from all different organs allowing better cellular respiration to convert chemical energy from oxygen molecules or nutrients into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) - which is the primary source of energy for most of the cellular processes, and helps flush cellular debris (like CO2 & dead cells) out of the system.

Experts have told exercise has also been shown to ease stress. And with the stress factor, a few conditions that may get intensified by stress can show improvement. One of them is 'Insomnia', asleep deprivation which can affect your skin hydration and texture. Most cases of insomnia are related to poor sleeping habits, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, etc among which lack of exercise also has a serious role.


Cardiovascular Exercises (for both men and women) are a great way to bring the theory into realization as it requires less time and effort. One great form of Cardio workout is HIIT. The involvement of sweating that is produced during a high-intensity interval training (HIIT), or a regular self-weight workout brings deeply embedded impurities and dead skin cells to the surface of the skin which makes the skin spotless, clean, and radiant.
