Regular Exercise + Healthy Diet = Lifelong Good Health
Good health can be the most precious possession one can have. When you are healthy, you are cheerful and enthusiastic. You have the energy to do your daily work and balance both work and family. You think positive thoughts and your brain is sharp to handle all daily issues.
When we are young, our body is naturally strong and healthy. But as we grow old, the bones and muscles start becoming weaker and the skin starts developing lines and wrinkles. This aging process can be delayed by regular exercise which helps to maintain fitness levels of the body. Exercise has many benefits and here the six most important ones.
1. Regular exercise keeps you lean and helps you to lose fat
2. Exercise leads to a more natural, deep and restful sleep
3. Improves bone density and reduces the risk of falls and fractures
4. Exercise lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and some forms of cancer
5. Exercise improves psychological well-being
6. Reverses the natural muscle loss that happens with aging
Experts advise a simple exercise schedule of 30 minutes for 5 days in a week. There is no need to join a gym and develop 6 pack abs. All you need is simple walking, climbing stairs and some aerobics.
The comforts of life have made us lazy. Gadgets and appliances have contributed a lot to reducing the amount of physical activity that we normally do. The microwave cooks for us, the car drive us to the office and the lift take us up the building.
Therefore it is important to consciously make choices and include that little exercise whenever possible. If you have to go to the 10th floor, take the stairs for 2-3 floors before taking the lift. If you can walk to the neighborhood grocery store, do not take the car. Instead of watching a game on television, play with children.
It is common sense that the body takes in calories from food and spends it in doing work. If the calorie intake is higher than work output, the body stores it or spends it in unhealthy ways. Therefore good food habits also contribute to health equally.
Take interest in what you eat. Know about vitamins, proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Find out what food contains what ingredients and what effect they have on the health. Check with your medical advisor whether your body needs any dietary supplements. Develop good eating habits and start regular exercises while you are young and maintain it through your life. - 17269
