Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Want to sleep better? Lift some weights
Sleeping is a restorative process for the brain and body. It is essential for our mental and physical health. Then, how can we have a good night’s sleep? You probably agree that physical exercise helps you sleep better. But do you know what types of exercises are better than others?
It has been thought that aerobic exercise is the best sleeping aid. It is the kind of exercise that makes the heart pump more for a continuous period of time, like 15 to 30 minutes. Jogging, fast walking, bike riding, jumping rope, and swimming are among typical examples. But a new study in the UK found that resistance exercise, a form of exercise that improves muscle strength and endurance, is even more effective to make you sleep better and longer. Resistance training includes machine weights, squats, and push-ups. They give the person more strength and force the body to build it back up. The study found that resistance exercise added more sleep time while reducing wakeups during the night. This finding doesn’t undermine the health benefits of aerobic exercise, which strengthens muscles, enlarges the heart muscle, improves circulation, reduces the risk for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. So, if you want to sleep better, why not try some muscle training?
Enjoy reading the article and learning about the benefits of resistance exercise.
