HEALTH BENEFITS OF TREKKING, HIKING & MOUNTAIN CLIMBING
For the average person, mountain climbing and trekking seem to be something that is tiring and risky hobby. It conjures up images of feeling drained of energy, muscle aches and cramps and even health risks. But there are a lot of benefits to these activities. In fact far more benefits than the associated risks and our bodies and minds have been trained to explore. Trekking and mountain climbing provide a complete set of benefits from the physical, mental and social aspects. Your entire physical body benefits from trekking or climbing in many ways. • Your heart pumps at maximum capacity while your whole body works out. • It reduces blood pressure. • It increases the capacity of your lungs by heavy breathing. • It also clears the lungs of residual air that resides in your lungs after you breathe out and in turn breathe in clean nature’s air. • It reduces blood sugar levels.
• It increases blood oxygenation levels. Meaning the amount of oxygen that your blood carries to different parts of your body. • It helps to control your weight by burning fat deposits throughout the body. • It improves coordination of movement between your eyes, hands and feet. • It improves your sense of balance as you need to walk over uneven terrain or even small ridges. • It improves bone density as you carry heavy loads at varying inclines. • It improves your skin texture and tone. • It tones up your muscles and makes them more resilient and flexible. • It is the perfect interval training where there are bursts of extreme effort such as scrambling and rock climbing followed by mild walking or short sprinting. • It improves the quality sleep.
