The Body's Incredible Adaptability During Strength Training

-

Hi my friend,

During heavy exercise, our less-used organs, such as the renal and digestive systems, do experience a decrease in blood supply. This is because our bodies are prioritizing blood flow to the muscles that are being used during exercise.

However, our bodies are very efficient at adapting to changes in blood flow. Our less-used organs are able to reduce their metabolism and function at a lower level during exercise. This allows them to survive with the reduced blood supply.

In fact, our kidneys actually play an important role in regulating blood pressure during exercise. They do this by filtering out excess fluid and electrolytes from the blood. This helps to prevent blood pressure from rising too high during exercise.

So, while our less-used organs may experience a decrease in blood supply during heavy exercise, they are able to adapt and function normally.

The apostle Paul compares the body of Christ to a human body. He says that each part of the body is important and that they all work together to make the body function properly. (1 Corinthians 12:12-27)

In the same way, our bodies are made up of many different organs and systems, each of which is important for our overall health and well-being. Even our less-used organs play a vital role in keeping us healthy.

So, next time you're working out hard, remember that your less-used organs are working hard too. They are sacrificing their own blood supply so that you can achieve your fitness goals.

Hope this helps. If it does, please

Did you know that muscles burn more calories than fat? Yes. It’s called the afterburn effect. This means that even after we finish exercising, our bodies continue to burn calories for up to 24 hours. That means we might be on the coach chilling on netflix and ice tea - long after our strength training workout - and still our fat burns on. Other benefits of having muscles are: Reduced risk of injuries.  Muscles help to support and protect our joints. When we have more muscle mass, we are less likely to experience injuries, especially as we age. Improved balance and coordination.  Muscles also help us to maintain our balance and coordination. This is important for preventing falls and other accidents. Stronger bones.  Muscles help to strengthen our bones by pulling on them. This is especially important f...
