Benefits of sports! When was the last time you played a sport? School? College? A few months ago? Yesterday? Most of us would have been ardent sports enthusiasts during school days playing Basketball, Cricket, Throwball, etc. But as time passed we slowly forgot playing outside to stay fit and rather resorted to gyms to hit Fitness goals. Why? Seriously why would you want to let go of all the fun? If you are thinking sports is a waste of time, then you might want to rethink about what sports do to you. There are tons of benefits you can garner out of playing sports regularly. Here’s some enlightenment for you!

1) Busts the stress out, BIG TIME!

Stress has become a dear friend these days with a survey stating that almost 46% of the working population in India are affected by it. This seems like a sad thing to encounter and realize but one should also have some equally important stress busters to maintain a balance in life and lead a healthier lifestyle. Sports has proven to be one of the best stress busters with most corporates leaning towards this idea to organize sports tournaments for the employees to counter-attack the stress the workload serves. So anytime you feel stressed, make sure you go play a sport to bust it out.

2) Happiness becomes a lifestyle

Makes you happy

Playing sports releases a hormone in your body named “Dopamine”. This hormone is a neurotransmitter that sends signals to your brain making you feel pleasure and happiness. Thus for a reason “Dopamine” is called the “Happy Hormone”. This is the same hormone that is released into your blood when you eat chocolate/ice-cream or hug a person. By playing sports regularly, you can make Happiness a lifestyle and eliminate all the bad that’s been troubling you eventually.

3) Makes you super creative
