Feeling stressed, anxious and sleep deprived is a reality for many people around the world. The good news is riding your bike not only helps you escape; it helps you cope.
Prolonged stress leads to increased
levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) in your body. Cortisol inflames
your tissue and muscles. Not exercising causes the regulation of
inflammatory and immune responses to decrease. Your inflammation becomes
a response to stress, and that’s why you sometimes feel physical aches
and pains when you stress. On top of that, cortisol causes weight gain.
Riding your bike reduces inflammation and helps reduce stress.
