Lifestyle, food and drink, and our family life and travel adventures.
With so much pollution and global warming, we are noticing an increase in the number of new diseases, and some of them are so new that there is no cure for them. But if you are fit and have a strong immunity system, then chances are that you may be protected from those diseases.
Of course, with most people having such a busy schedule nowadays, we don’t have so much time to think about our health. But systematically organising your routine can help with that. Include some exercise, healthy eating habits, and frequent body checkups in your routine, and this will help massively.
When it comes to exercise, some join gyms, and some work out through YouTube videos or with the help of online trainers. But people who have an interest in dancing can join Salsa classes to benefit their health. You don’t need a lot to begin; however, investing in quality Salsa dance shoes is essential. Not only will you be setting yourself up for success, but you will also look and feel great doing it!
By choosing Salsa dance as your exercise routine, you will not only learn a new form of dance but also learn coordination, a new language, and can make friends as well. Here, we will be discussing the health benefits that you get from Salsa dance.
You will be amazed to know that in the late 1960s and early 1970s, it was mainly developed by Puerto Ricans and Cubans in New York. Did you know that the salsa origin is very interesting? You must be wondering how. Well, you can dance to any music, but when it comes to salsa dance, you need a specific sort of music. Basically, you can’t do Salsa to all the songs.
Bone and joint health
If we talk about dance, it is itself a very effective exercise; any form, for that matter, offers you some benefits. But salsa dance can prevent and treat osteoporosis for both men and women. Mainly, a significant drop in estrogen levels is seen in women at the time of post-menopause, which let the bones not absorb the calcium. But it can help allow bones to absorb it as well as lubricate the bones to prevent arthritis. Dancing can do miracles, but unfortunately, people only see it as a medium for entertainment.
Weight loss
With the invention of junk food and unhealthy lifestyles, people face problems like obesity and weight gain. This condition, unfortunately, helps a lot in reducing your confidence and self-esteem. So why don’t we take some significant steps in controlling the intake of junk food and adding a healthy diet with exercise? Because with a busy work schedule, we fail to understand what sort of exercise to do, right? We would highly recommend dancing. Only 30 minutes of dancing can show positive results in your life.
Salsa dance can be the one to go for as you will meet new people and will learn not only a dance form but a new culture, as well as build stamina. The fact that has been noticed in a few studies is that dancing can burn 5 to 10 calories per minute. Isn’t it great? So why not choose it as a major fitness technique? Well, after reading this, you will definitely add it to your fitness routine.
Muscle targeting
Salsa helps in overall muscle exercise. From the hamstrings, calves, glutes, and quadriceps, it will tighten your every muscle. This is done because Salsa contains various movements and steps that let the whole body and muscles perform.
Keeps you looking young
If you wish to look young all the time, it’s better to start dancing now. It assists you in lowering the ageing process. Not only this, but salsa dance can be advantageous to benefit your lungs capacity, cardiovascular system, and heart. So, if you are healthy, you will automatically look younger. And it even helps in building the stamina and the breathing capacity of the dancers.
Lowers cholesterol
When you are determining your health, it is recommended to measure bad and good cholesterol levels as well. Dancing helps in controlling lipids, raising HDL, which is good cholesterol, and decreasing LDL, which is known as bad cholesterol. It even aids in blood sugar control; therefore, it is considered good for diabetes as well. So many benefits with fun you can only get with dancing.
Improved balance
It may be easy to balance yourself in one position, but it takes a lot of stamina to do it in various positions. Thus, dancing helps stabilize and strengthen our muscles while simultaneously protecting our core, which keeps us less prone to injury. It makes our coordination strong and aids in maintaining our reflexes. Therefore, choosing it and adding it to your daily routine will be a good choice for sure.
Improved memory
As we need to recall steps, patterns, and movements, it helps in improving our memory. The most significant benefit is that mental exercise keeps your mind alert, open, quick, and young. Therefore, opting for dancing as an exercise can give you complete wellness.
Improved emotional health
By raising our endorphin levels, dancing elevates our mood. This is what helps us overcome our depression and stress, which is the old enemy of our immune system. Dancing even helps us enhance self-discipline and self-confidence as well as maintain harmony among our body and our brain.
As they say, “Dancing is surely the easiest way to express yourself,” similarly, it helps a lot in making you healthy and confident. Salsa is a dance form that needs lots of movements, expressions, postures, and rhythm. Thus, choosing this form of dancing can benefit you personally, emotionally, and physically in so many ways.
