If you get down during the winter, then increase your exercise schedule. Your workouts help you give energy and a positive attitude, which can fight off the cold weather blues.

Nocturia is just a prettier name for getting up in the middle of the night to pee. For some men, exercising just one hour a week can reduce the frequency

of nighttime urination. Exercise that helps you stay in bed longer. Sounds pretty good to us.

If you feel like all you ever want to eat are nachos and pizza, keeping active will keep your willpower strong. Some studies showed that an hour of running helped

suppress junk food cravings by making low calorie foods more appealing to the brain. Anything that makes a salad look better than french fries is pretty amazing.

People who did 15 minutes of cardio after getting a flu shot had double the antibody response than those who were inactive. We like to think of it as your

growing muscles punching flu in the face, but it's probably more about cardio increasing your metabolism and immune system. But it's still cool to imagine punching out the flu.

Exercise has all kinds of great effects on the brain. The younger you start working out, the greater your cognitive development will be. Young adults with a high fitness level did

better on tests taken 25 years later than their less fit friends. Plus, memory and mental agility is improved. So, you'll be ripped and a genius. Pretty awesome.

Since exercise helps your brain overall, that means it also helps your brain recover after too much drinking. Of course, you don't want to test this out by drinking a

ton and trying to burn it all off, but the more you exercise, the faster you recover from the occasional crazy night.

Since you're full of energy and sharp as a tack, it's obvious that exercise will help your career. You're already used to working hard and going after goals and that

mentality folds right into the career of your choice. Fitness makes you a boss, literally and figuratively.

Guys might not worry about wrinkles as much as women do, but as you see yourself starting to age, you'll be glad that your fitness routine is slowing down the

process. A report studied individuals who did cardio twice a week and found that their skin was of the same quality as 20 to 30-year-olds, even though some participants

were over 65-years-old.

Sure, working out helps fix your gut in the sense of making your stomach smaller, but exercise also helps your digestion and intestinal health. People who regularly worked out tend to have a

higher variety of gut bacteria, which helps ward off obesity and intestinal illness.

People with asthma may be wary of working out. But some types of exercise strengthen the heart and lungs, easing asthma symptoms overall. If you have asthma and are worried

about starting a workout routine, just start slow and remember you're improving for overall health and mind by committing to a fitness regime.
