Golf Helps Keeping you in Good Health in Tunisia

Golf in Good Health

Are you looking for a weight loss program that won’t keep you stuck in a sweaty gym or taking the same walk around your neighbourhood? Do you want to add a little weight training to your cardio workout? Does adding natural vitamin D to your diet, better sleep to your night time and finding new friends’ interest you? Take a swing at a golf course and all this, and more, could be yours. If you care about you health, then you got to play golf! Seriously, there are many health benefits of playing golf in Tunisia including:

Cardiovascular workout: Any activity that leaves you slightly short of breath and works up a bit of a sweat is great for your cardiovascular system, or heart. In addition to lowering harmful cholesterol, it also helps speed up your metabolism, making weight loss easier. A round of golf burns about 300 calories in a 150 pound individual who plays for 1 hour while carrying clubs. If you choose to ride in a cart, the same round of golf will burn only 230 calories. The driving range burns about 200 calories per hour.

Proper exercise: Weight Bearing exercises are great for your bones. Weight bearing exercises two to three times a week can create long, lean muscle mass, which helps support a strong skeleton. This type of exercise can also help prevent bone degeneration, including osteoporosis. To include weight bearing in your golf game, carry your clubs. A great option to release stress on your shoulders is a double strapped golf bag.

Plenty of Vitamin D: This vitamin is essential for strong bones, it regulates the amount of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. Vitamin D also helps regulate the growth of skin cells. While you can eat some foods that are high in vitamin D, your body can actually make this entire vitamin it needs just by catching some rays outside. So go outside, take a walk around the links and let your body do its work.

Sleep Better: Study after study has shown that regular exercise increases the positives that sleep brings. You’ll fall asleep faster and remain in a deep sleep for a longer period of time with regular exercise, which includes activities like golf. Sleep is important because it allows time for your muscles to repair themselves. Playing a round of golf by day will likely increase the quality of your restfulness by night.

Find New Friends: Golf is a social game. There’s plenty of time to chat with new friends and get to know new ones. Making friends increases endorphins, which helps mental outlook and an overall feeling of well being. Studies have shown that seniors that remain social and friendly live up to six years longer than those that don’t. So, get out there!
Grab your clubs and balls, set out to the golf course and enjoy a day in the sun. Before starting any workout regimen, make sure you are healthy enough by checking with your doctor.
