6 Healthy Reasons to Exercise Daily
Lifelong good health is a boon that is not granted by God but is in our own hands. When we are healthy, we are able to do more and achieve more. We are able to go about our daily activities with full vigor and cheer. On the other hand, when we are ill, we are not capable of doing even simple activities without frustration and irritation.
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. Exercise dissolves excess fat thus reducing weight
2. Exercise leads to a more natural, deep and restful sleep
3. Exercise strengthens the bones and prevents serious injuries
4. Exercise lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and some forms of cancer
5. Exercise improves psychological well-being
6. Improves stamina and prevents muscle sagging with age.
How much exercise is sufficient? It depends on your objective. If you wish to have a body like Sylvester Stallone, then you might need workouts at a gym. But if you only wish to maintain a healthy body, then all you require is half an hour of exercise, comprising of walking, running and light aerobics, for 4-5 days in a week.
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 a no-brainer that if you eat more fats than you can expend, your body will store them and increase in weight. This will put pressure on your system and lead to hypertension and other illnesses. Therefore, health is also directly related to what you eat.
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. - 17274
