Exercise Benefits Health

So far in PE class (4th & 5th grades) we have discussed 5 ways that exercise can positively impact health.

1. Improved Energy - trains the body to make energy more efficiently
2. Improved Cardiovascular health - strengthens the heart and blood vessels; improves circulation
3. Improves Mood - releases dopamine and endorphins to give us a sense of well-being
4. Improves Brain Health - releases BDNF to protect & rejuvenate brain cells
5. Improves Detoxification - stimulates sweating and respiration to remove toxins from the body

* Writing assignment coming up Wednesday & Thursday
