“GOOD HEALTH"
is the key to a happy life”. In a fast and demanding
life health unfortunately takes a back seat whereas it should
be of prime concern. Because of the health benefits of physical
activity, it is recommended to participate in 30 minutes
of accumulated moderate intensity physical activity such
as walking fast on five or more days of the week. Yet in
our increasingly sedentary world , where almost every essential
task can be performed online, from the drivers seat, or
with a phone call, exercising and being physically fit can
be tough. Most of us are unable to include exercise as part
of our healthy practices even if we are aware of its benefits.
The American Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism
had published an issue regarding the result of their study
and found out that lack of physical fitness were the key
reasons for obesity and other series diseases like diabetics.
Every year world wide more than 50000 deaths are attributed
to lack of physical activity.
Regular physical activity provides enormous health benefits.
It helps reduce heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes and
many other diseases and metabolic conditions. Regular fitness
exercise is also highly beneficial for weight reduction
and weight maintenance, and may improve brain chemistry
to reduce depression. By contrast, health studies that have
monitored the wellbeing of large groups of people over many
years clearly show that inactivity significantly increases
the risk of overweight, obesity and chronic diseases. |
