3. Positive attitude and good mood (fight against chronic fatigue). Exercise increases energy storage. During the lesson, more oxygen is supplied, which makes it possible for a person to feel toned and in a good mood throughout the day.
   
4. Good dream. With regular physical exertion, the nervous system is strengthened, and resistance to stressful situations is developed. Sleep always improves after stress on the body.
5. Self-esteem rises. During training, the body shape changes for the better, it becomes more perfect. Thus, a person achieves the ideal. This increases self-confidence, which will be useful not only in sports, but also in everyday life.
6. Endurance. Physical activity increases the body's endurance. This will allow you to walk more, do without an elevator, carry bags of groceries and much more.
7. Increased brain activity. During exercise, the volume of circulating blood increases, thus more blood (and oxygen) flows to the brain, and its function improves. An increase in brain activity leads to an increase in mental alertness.

Why do you need to eat right?

For some, PP is a way of life, but for some it is a modern influence. But in fact, observing the basic rules of a healthy diet, you can significantly improve the quality of life.

1. Decrease in the amount of body fat;
2. Gaining muscle mass;
3. Maintaining body shape (calorie intake per day);
4. Strengthening immunity;
5. Excellent digestion. If the PP is observed, there will be no problems with the gastrointestinal tract, because the balance of fats / proteins / carbohydrates will be observed;
6. Good dream. If you follow the rules for taking (time) food, then there will be no problems with falling asleep. There will be no feeling of sleep on a full stomach;
7. Improving skin condition. The expression is perfect here - we are what we eat. After all, all junk food provokes rashes, redness and other imperfections on the skin;
8. It is easier to restore the body after serious shocks (training, illness).

Proper nutrition is a guarantee of well-being and good health.
