One of the best benefits of regular exercise is that it can keep you looking and feeling younger.  The research tells us that exercise helps to fight the signs of aging playing a big role in how young and how healthy your skin looks and feels.  Now we are just looking at the surface I know, but it is the wrapping that we come in.  Of course, we know that exercise can reduce and tone the package, so we get the benefits of exercise with fitness, a  more energized body, and healthier skin.

"It's no secret that exercise has important benefits for the entire body. But what many people don't realize is that our skin is the largest organ of our body, and thus, the benefits can be enormous," says Audrey Kunin, MD, a Kansas City, Mo., dermatologist and author of The DERMAdoctor Skinstruction Manual.

Dr Kunin goes on to state that exercise increases our circulation and delivery of nutrients to skin cells while removing potentially damaging toxins.  This in turn provides the skin with the optimum conditions for making collagen, the support fibers that help keep wrinkles and lines at bay.

So just one more reason to find some "Me Time" and exercises for your health and good looks.
