Regular physical activity is a critical component for life-long health and
maintaining quality of life as you age. Whether you are a serious athlete or one
who prefers to just maintain an active lifestyle, getting some form of exercise
daily is necessary to maintain the strength of your cardiovascular and
musculoskeletal systems as well as your mental well-being. Currently, the
World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that the average adult get at
least 600 metabolic equivalent minutes (METs, a metric combining both time
and exercise intensity used to estimate overall energy expenditure) every
week, which is equivalent to approximately 150 minutes of brisk walking.
However, recent research suggests that significantly more (and more intense)
activity may be necessary for the best long-term health benefits. How do
essential oils fit into all of this? You can put a few drops of CPTG® Peppermint
essential oil into your palms, rub them together, and directly inhale for a quick
energizing boost as you head to the gym or hit the trails for the exercise your
body needs for long-term health and wellness.
