  1. Health and Fitness


    Exercise Regularly For A Healthy Living

    "Health is wealth" they say. This statement necessitated the need to have a healthy living, because what is the purpose of being wealthy without being healthy. Being active makes a person healthy and strong. It is not just for people who have a weight problem but for everyone who likes to stay fit.

    There are a lot of activities a person can do such as jogging or walking every morning, play basketball or any other sports, either alone or with friends if a person wants to live a stress-free life, have muscles and look healthy. one can decide to sign up and workout in a gym or engage in any activity that can reduce fat and other unnecessary cholesterol from the body.

    People workout for 3 reasons;

    The first is that the person is overweight and the only way to lose those extra pounds will be to reduce ones calorie intake and at the same time workout in the gym.

    The second is that the person is underweight and the only way to add extra pounds is to have more calories in ones diet and workout.

    The third is just for fun and to keep that person in shape.

    The best exercise plan should have cardiovascular and weight training exercises. This helps burn calories and increase the muscle to fat ratio that will increase ones metabolism and gain or lose weight.

    Just like taking any medicine, one should first consult the doctor before undergoing any form of exercise.

    Here are some benefits of exercising;

    1. It is the easiest way to maintain and improve ones health from a variety of diseases and premature death.

    2. Studies have shown that it makes a person feels happier and increases ones self esteem preventing one from falling into depression or anxiety.

    3. An active lifestyle makes a person live longer than a person who doesn’t.

    It is a best idea for someone who has not being doing it before to thread softly while exercising their body. Endurance will not be built in a day and doing it repeatedly will surely be beneficial to the person.

    It is advisable to workout regularly with a reasonable diet.

    A person can consult with a dietitian or a health professional to really help plan a good diet program. It starts by evaluating the lifestyle and the health of the patient before any programme can be developed at all.

    Afterwards, this should be thoroughly discussed and recommended to the person which usually consists of an eating plan and an exercise programme that does not require the use of supplements or to purchase any expensive fitness equipment.

    A good diet should have food from all the food groups.

    This is made up by 2 things. The first is carbohydrates. The food that a person consumes should have vitamins, minerals and fiber. A lot of this can come from oats, rice, potatoes and cereals. The best still come from vegetables and fruits since these have phytochemicals, enzymes and micronutrients that are essential for a healthy diet.

    The second is fat which can come from mono and poly saturated food sources rather than animal fats. Since fat contains more than double the number of calories in food, this should be taken in small quantities in order to gain or lose weight.

    Another way to stay healthy is to give up some vices. Most people smoke and drink. Smoking has been proven to cause lung cancer and other diseases as well as complications for women giving birth. Excessive drinking has also shown to do the same.

    For people who don’t smoke, it is best to stay away from people who do since studies have shown that nonsmokers are also at risk of developing cancer due to secondary smoke inhalation.

    However, what you choose to do to live a healthy and successful life try to contact your doctor in order to have first-hand information about whatever you may be experiencing at any particular point in time.
    Thank you.
