Health
Health is defined as the condition of a person's body or mind. That is why we speak of good or bad health instead of understanding the concept as something good. Having good health is obviously and logically important, yet many people actually do nothing to attain a proper condition of mind and/or body. In order to accomplish this, it is very important to know how the body, and mind, work. For this reason we will try to help you understand different things and concepts as clearly as possible. Nevertheless, everything that comprises good health has to be read over and again in order to utterly fathom and thus make good use of the knowledge acquired. The immediate topic (physical exercise) is, perhaps, one that gathers many different and general topics that you ought to understand thoroughly and will be our starting point to get to understand many more things about health and how to achive it. We recommend you to jot down the important points on a piece of paper or a booknote so you may have the information continuously available.
Physical
activity and healthy foods are the most important things you should
care about and, afterwards, you may attend to your mind health which
will be much easier after your bodily functions are working fine.
In
developed countries, according to WHO, physical inactivity has been
identified as the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality.
Reason why, whichever exercise you choose, try to do it as much as
possible.
A
healthy diet is also important to avoid health risks such as obesity
and heart disease. Essentially, a healthy diet must be balanced,
which means that you should be eating as many different things as you
can but this does not mean in enormous quantities.
One
other factor that you must be aware of is sleep; bad sleeping damages
your whole body, so, too few as well as too much sleep is neither
good for your body nor your mind.
Lastly,
remember that during a week, you have 168 hours from which you
probably sleep around 50 hours, leaving you with 118 hours more or
less. Usually a person that goes to the gym and struggles three times
per week for an hour a day and ends up all beaten up because of it,
sums up a total of 3 hours per week if not less of exercises. Meaning
that, of the awaken hours that person has (118), he or she stays
basically inactive 115 hours a week... then a really interesting
question arises...
How
could anyone expect to lose weight and be fitted investing just a 3%
of his/her time and actually brag about such minimal and
insignificant amount of time in the gym?
Reading
is just not enough, so go ahead and train. Now! - After you have done
some exercise you can think of, you may continue reading. Even if it
is one miserable minute of stretching!
