Fuel your fitness with help from a Hy-Vee Registered Dietitian

    May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month and your Hy-Vee dietitians are here to support your active lifestyle with one-on-one nutrition coaching, group nutrition tours, and our top foods, products and fueling solutions to get the most out of your exercise routine. Why is consistent exercise so important? 
 
     Top five reasons to increase your physical activity:
     It can improve your mood. Regular activity has been shown to make you feel happier and decrease feelings of depression, anxiety and stress. Research has shown that exercise produces changes in areas of the brain that regulate stress and anxiety while also making the brain more sensitive to “feel good” hormones like serotonin and norepinephrine.1
     It helps build and maintain lean muscles. Resistance training stimulates muscle building, especially when paired with adequate protein intake. This signals the body to grow lean muscle and reduce muscle breakdown. As we age, we tend to lose lean muscle mass and function, which can lead to injuries and disability.  That is where some form of resistance training is essential to reduce muscle loss and maintain strength as you age.1
     It is crucial for bone health. Exercise helps build up our bone density and helps prevent osteoporosis across the lifespan.2
     It helps with relaxation and sleep quality. Regular physical activity, whether it is aerobic or resistance training, can help you sleep better and feel more energized during the day. In addition, the energy depletion that occurs during exercise stimulates recuperative and repair processes during sleep.1
     It reduces your risk for chronic disease. Regular activity supports cardiovascular health, body composition, insulin sensitivity, blood pressure levels and cholesterol levels leading to an overall lower risk of leading causes of death like heart disease and diabetes.1
