You might be planning to buy new sportswear for your workout session but I am going to share with you 7 genuine benefits of exercising naked that would change your thought process.
No doubt sports clothing helps you improve your performance but exercising without clothes gives you multiple physical as well as psychological benefits.
Let’s discuss the benefits of exercising naked that you can try at home.
Benefits of Exercising Naked
#1. Regulates Mood
The very first benefit of exercising naked is it regulates your mood. Situations like we are facing today are extremely stressful while staying quarantined at home. Doing something different can be a good way out to feel better in such hard times.
Now the question arises, how exercising naked is more beneficial?
Well, when you uncloth yourself and allow sun rays to get absorbed in your body, your body starts producing Vitamin D (well even a caveman knows this) that not only strengthens our bones and muscles but also stimulates secretion of Serotonin.
Serotonin is responsible for our good mood that’s why its also called Happy Hormone.
But don’t stay longer under the sun, a 15 mins exercise in the sun would be highly beneficial for your physical and mental health.
#2. Freedom of Movement
Many factors that limit our exercising capabilities and one of them is our clothes. You can reduce the limitations by exercising naked.
You can move your body as much as you can and see the flexibility your body has that you haven’t noticed ever before.
#3. Give More Life to Your Body and Skin
Wearing clothing while exercising may cause excessive sweating which may further result into skin problems like –
- Swollen skin follicle
- Rashes and breakouts.
Going naked lets your skin breathe freely and get relaxed. That results in youthful and radiant skin.
#4. Notice Progress
Another benefit of exercising naked is that you can be more aware of your body and you can check what’s happening to your body during exercises and whether you are doing it correctly or not.
This, in summary, is called body mindfulness, which is when you are completely aware of your body and its movements.
With being more mindful about your own body you are completely aware of your body and its movements. You become more aware about your posture, the way your body reacts to some change.
The more you become aware of your body, the more you take care of it.
#5. Improves Blood Circulation
Exercising naked also lets your body completely get rid of sweat toxins, that clothing can reintroduce to the body, that improves the overall blood circulation and more oxygen flow throughout the body.
More oxygen results in better functioning of heart, lungs, and all other organs.
#6. Boosts Your Sex Life.
Going commando may seduce your partner but that’s the one thing.
Oestrogen in females and Testosterone in males sex hormone that are directly related to sex drive.
Various studies have shown that an hour of direct sunlight can boost a man’s testosterone level by approximately 70%. All thanks to Vitamin D.
Similarly, vitamin D deficiency may lead to low oestrogen levels in women that causes low sex drive.
Exercising naked under sunlight increases Vitamin D in our body and balances the sex hormones.
#7. Saves Money
Let’s discuss the economic angle of exercising naked. According to a recent study showed that if we were not wearing clothes, we would have saved around 1,200,00 million dollars globally and the overall life of people would have been better as this money could be used to solve worldwide problems of food, health, and poverty.
