ON HEALTH AND BODY FITNESS
Health can generally be measured on three major parameters
which includes psychological and nutritional; physical health means the
physical appearance of a person, nutritional health means the presence of
essential nutrients in the body to fight disease with immunity. Psychological
health means the ability in a person to maintain patience, calm and composure
in all circumstances of life.
Health
professionals consider cancer, diabetes and several other mental and physical
health issues such as depression, lethargic attitude, e .t. c to deficiencies
in fitness and well-being of a person. Unhealthy and unfit lifestyle of a
person also results in premature death. Obesity and lack of physical fitness in
young generation sets the stage for diabetes, heart diseases, and other serious
health problems.
Walking,
running, cycling, playing, swimming, gardening, skipping, Wight-lifting and
yoga are some of the important activities which help us maintain fit and
healthy style. A person who is fit both physically and mentally is strong
enough to face the ups and down of life, and affected by drastic changes in the
circumstances.
One should also spend time outdoors in
the sun, inhaling fresh air and taking part mostly in healthy activities like
swimming, dancing, hiking so on than staying at work (24/7) in most cases under
unnatural environment and pressurizing air offices just to keep cool, I believe
they add nothing but rather depleting the quality of our body tissue, anyway,
its technology!! Staying active makes you stay energetic.
Out of the several components that affect
ones health, the following are the seven key physical components to ensure the
overall good health, fitness and mental well-being:
1. cardiovascular/aerobic
conditioning

training and muscular development
3. stretching-
muscles, ligaments and tendons
4. core
stability- both physical and mental
5. nutrition
and supplementation- balanced diet
6. mental
rest and relaxation- balanced lifestyle
7. sleep-
regular sleep
Eating
healthy and nutrients rich food, excising, taking sufficient sleep (not a nap
or siesta), avoiding intake of harmful substances are just few simple ways to
stay healthy and fit. These are directly related to our mental, physical and
emotional healthy life. The benefits of an active and healthy lifestyle are undesirable
by all means.
Weather you decide to increase your
activity levels slightly or develops and participates in a thorough fitness plan;
it will pay you off in the long run. Exercise is good for your health of
various organs of your body makes you feel stronger.
