Physical Activities You Need to Improve Learning Results while Working on Your Internet Business, by Ken Nourolahi

Physical Activity and Learning
   
The benefits of physical exercise are well known.  Consistent exercise improves the heart and lungs and releases endorphins (hormones) that improve our mood.  However, recent studies have also shown that exercising on a regular basis has a definite impact on a person’s learning.  William Greenough, at the University of Illinois in the early 1990’s, conducted experiments with rats that showed that a greater number of connections among neurons existed in the rats who exercised than those that were sedentary.  In addition, there were a greater number of capillaries around the brain neurons of rats that exercised.

As adults, we face many obstacles to our health and well being.  In this information age, we spend an inordinate amount of time in front of our computers, and watching television or videos.  This translates into less time for exercise and the missed benefits that exercise provides.  The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that a metabolic syndrome has emerged as a major health risk in Americans (Ford, et. al. 2002).  The metabolic syndrome is defined as manifestation of chronic ailments and life threatening diseases observed in almost one-forth of the US adult population (Ford, et. al. 2002).  Obese individuals with sedentary lifestyles are at an increased risk for developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease (Medical News, 2010).

   Chronic diseases associated with poor habits are preventable and it is up to each individual to develop the appropriate daily diet and exercise regimen for a healthy life (Medical News, 2010).  The individuals who are involved in Internet marketing or any Internet based business perform more than 90% of their work sitting in front of a computer on a daily basis.  This work is usually very intense and could place a great deal of strain on the back, wrist, and eyes.  The sedentary life style associated with this type of work and lack of appropriate diet could be a major contributor to chronic health problems.  It is important that a minimum of 15 minutes break every couple of hours are taken to relax those overused muscles.  It is equally important that there is an appropriate balance between work, a healthy diet, and recreation to stabilize the number of consumed calories and the calories that are used-up.  How does one achieve this balance?  The answer is in the basic steps outlined below:

1. Start the day with a quick exercise regiment to jump start your metabolism and get blood capillaries around the brain’s neurons flowing.
2. Eat a breakfast with fruit and grains to provide energy.
3. Make a list of goals for the day that includes goals to achieve at work and goals for recreation and exercise after work.
4. Include a daily 20 - 30 minutes brisk walk in your daily physical activities. 

Obviously, these are the minimum steps required to maintain a normal healthy status and as mentioned earlier, would have to be modified to meet the specific needs of each person.
