Cycling regularly helps in stimulating your heart, lung functions, improves heart muscles, and reduces blood fat levels.
The United Nations General Assembly declared June 3 in 2018, in New York. The day is observed to celebrate the uniqueness, versatility, and sustainability of the bicycle. It is one of the most reliable means of transport, which is impartial to the social division of rich and poor and serves as a fair means of transport.
The logo of world bicycle day which is designed by Isaac Feld and Professor John E. Swanson depicts various types of cyclists around the globe. It breaks all the barriers of division and serves all of humanity. The purpose and benefits of bicycles are more than social inclusion, peace, and tolerance in society; cycling as an activity has more than one health benefit, let’s know how it improves our overall health.
Improved Cardiovascular endurance
Cycling regularly helps in stimulating your heart, lung functions, improves heart muscles, and reduces blood fat levels. An hour of cycling can help burn 400-1000 calories, according to the intensity and rider’s body weight.
Better balance and coordination
It helps with balance, strength, and coordination, which will eventually help from falls and fractures in bones. It is best for people with osteoarthritis as it places stress on joints and is a low-impact exercise.
Better mental well-being
Cycling combines physical activity with the joy of being outdoors. One can always challenge themselves with goals, and once achieved like any exercise, the body releases endorphins and adrenaline (the feel-good hormones).
It builds muscles
It helps build muscles around the glutes, hamstrings, quads, and calves which helps in easier weight loss. Muscle is a leaner fat that helps reduce calories faster.
Boosts brain power
It helps improve the flow of blood by 28 per cent to 70 per cent in some areas of the brain. It increases the production of protein used for creating new brain cells by 2 to 3 times than usual.
