August 13, 2022 is National Bowling Day, a day when we celebrate the fun and competitive game of bowling. Did you know that bowling is also good for you? That’s right! There are a number of unexpected health benefits of bowling. Let’s check out the ways bowling helps your health:

1. Improves circulation.

Bowling is a great way to get your blood flowing and your heart pumping. The movement and exercise helps to increase circulation throughout your body, which is important for overall health.

2. Increases metabolism for weight loss.

Bowling is a great calorie-burning activity that can help you lose weight and keep it off. The more you bowl, the more calories you’ll burn, which can lead to weight loss over time.

3. Improves muscle tone and strength.

Bowling works out a variety of muscles in your body, including your arms, legs, back and core. The more you bowl, the stronger and more toned your muscles will become.

4. Relieves stress.

Bowling is a great way to relieve stress and unwind after a long day. The act of throwing a heavy ball down a lane can be therapeutic, and the social aspect of bowling can help take your mind off of whatever is stressing you out.

5. Increases bone density.

Bowling is a weight-bearing exercise, which means it helps to increase bone density. This is important for preventing osteoporosis and keeping bones strong and healthy as we age.

6. Lowers blood pressure.

Bowling can help to lower blood pressure by getting the heart pumping and improving circulation. If you have high blood pressure, bowling is a fun and social activity to add to your health routine.

7. Improves social life by combating loneliness and depression.

Bowling is a social activity that can help combat loneliness and depression, especially for older adults. The act of bowling with friends or family can improve your mood and make you feel more connected to others.
