Fitness And Health: A Vital Part Of Our Lives

By Hilda Jackson

The significance of fitness and health is often underestimated by folks. People just don't get why it's vital to exercise everyday! It's quite frustrating making an attempt to get my mother to grasp that she shouldn't be eating that chocolate mousse whenever she passes by the confectioners' but will she listen? Na uh! there's still hope for lots of folks out there, who are open to idea. Keep in mind that it's never too late to add muscle.

How are health and fitness Related?

Fitness and health go side by side. This is simply because, the fitter you are the more fit and better you feel. Keeping fit not only helps you feel better about yourself, but keeps the risk of many life-threatening sicknesses at bay!

moreover, fit folk have so much energy! Whether it is at home, or at work, fit folks are always happy. After a hectic day at the office, most of us don't have the patience or the energy to play with our youngsters. But if you are healthy and fit, then you are going to be able to do it!

moreover, when you're active and stay fit, you use more calories all of the time, even when you're sleeping. This is because your basal rate of metabolism increases and you don't have to think carefully about getting that ice cream for yourself ( not everyday though ). Moreover, you do not have to be a sports figure to stay fit. A moderate level of activity is adequate.

Recommended Exercise

For health-related fitness, brisk walking for 2 and a half hours a week will do just fine. Or, you can even do vigorous exercise routines, like running for around an hour and a quarter a week as well. Begin with walking and slowly progress to jogging. Or increase the length of your walking if you are not ok with jogging.

So what are the benefits of a high level of health and fitness? Except for feeling great about yourself and getting a whole storehouse of energy, you also lower the risk of heart sicknesses, diabetes, high cholesterol and blood pressure and even a few kinds of cancers!

Now isn't that something? I'd say this is the cheapest kind of medical therapy available on the planet! So never underestimate fitness and health, keep burning your calories! - 31994
