written by: Master McCorry

In the rushed lifestyle of today, age starts taking its toll on you once
you are past thirty. This shows up most easily and quickly in your health.
Today’s youth starts complaining of joint aches, tiredness, lifestyle
diseases and obesity around the time they reach their late thirties. Again,
the lifestyle puts its own pressure on the adult mind as well. According to
Statistic Brain, 77 percent of US adults report stress and subsequent
physical problems such as lack of sleep, dizziness and pressure variation.
Once you become an adult, it is necessary to attend to your health – both
physical and mental – and try to improve your lifestyle accordingly. Among
the different methods to enhance health, martial arts always stands out.

Health Benefits for Adults – The Martial Art Way
There was a time when martial arts were considered to be a mere sport and
entertainment, but today’s health experts are aware of the remarkable
impact that martial arts can leave on your health. Practicing any martial
art can give you the following benefits:

1. Strength and Fitness of your Body
Martial arts are proven to enhance the strength of muscular and skeletal
systems. It can burn unwanted fat from your body and realign remaining fat
to those parts of body where it is needed for metabolism. This will make
you fitter, and in the course of time, physically stronger. Martial arts is
a good solution to those who want to combat obesity.

2. Get Rid of Non-Communicable Diseases
By non-communicable diseases, we mean diseases caused more or less by
lifestyle and which are not contagious. This group contains some of the
villains of the modern man, including diabetes, cholesterol, low and high
blood pressure and thyroid. Martial arts can prevent these diseases to an
extent. Cardiovascular moves will fight cholesterol. Exercise, in general,
can help to reduce diabetes-like diseases.

3. Keep Stress Away
Martial arts combine meditation-like philosophies and practices to
physical moves. Non-contact martial arts like yoga are scientifically
proven to reduce stress. Even the more physical ones like karate and
kickboxing can positively direct your internal energy. Once stress is off
your mind, naturally, accompanying problems like sleeplessness and
dizziness too go away.

4. Coordination and Flexibility
Every other moment we see adults complaining that they can’t pick up
things from floor, climb stairs, walk fast and so on. Through martial arts,
you will regain your adolescent flexibility and suppleness of your body. It
will also improve faculties like coordination, balance and quickness.

5. Rejuvenation
How to regain youthful energy is a much debated topic among anti-ageing
campaigners. Very few of them realize that martial arts can actually make a
change. A study by British Sports Medicine Journal speaks of how martial
art learners could do two times the number of sit ups that a non-learner
could do. Martial arts can make you fresher, stronger and livelier.
