Living Healthy is life

Stretching is one of the most misused exercise. It's important to stretch before and after each exercise; when you get up in the morning and before going to bed.  This promotes blood flow and improves flexibility.  

IN THE MORNING AND AT NIGHT

 A good first morning  stretch helps to wake up our sleeping muscles and get our body ready for the days activities. It further allows our bodies to regulate waste which it has been actively processing while we slept. Futhermore for those whom tends to sleep on one side of our body it helps increase blood flow to those starving muscles. Prior to going to bed it is also important to stretch. Why you ask? Well it increases the sleep endorphines needed to place the body in a more relaxed mode in order to  recoup and reenergize itself.

BEFORE AND AFTER PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

A light streching helps to warm the muscles up prior to increasing the your activity. This lets your body knows that there's a demand of energy that will be required of it soon.
