Our life experiences teach us how to live a simple life. Complications start in the mind. If we are always thinking of our problems, our life will be miserable. Finding solutions to our thousands of questions is easier if we have a clear mind and an open heart in accepting possible answers. Surviving the challenges that we face every day is all matter of learning the ropes of working hard and enjoying what we have at the present.
Anything we do has an impact in our daily lives. It only depends how we manage our time and efforts toward what is beneficial to our being. When it comes to health, living a good life means that we are aware of the things that would be harmful or helpful to us. The food that we eat, the activities that we do, and how we weigh things out have an effect in our physical health. These also help us determine if we are really health conscious or serious to stay in shape.
We know that regular exercise and healthy diet are essential in staying fit. Both exercise and diet go hand-in-hand in making the body healthy. However, these two should be made in moderation since too much of something is not good. Dieting does not mean getting so thin. It means reducing the food intake rich in fat, sugar or calories. Vegetables and fruits should be part of the meal. They are good sources of vitamins and minerals that help the body to be strong and fight back free radicals in the body. You don’t need to look so slim to tell that you are in a diet but rather to have an ideal weight using the body mass index. It is based on your height and weight, although it is not the only factor used in identifying if you are really healthy. There are still many factors such blood pressure, cholesterol level, sugar content in the body, etc.
Having a clearer complexion is not only through medications or whitening soaps. Exercising is one way of having good skin. As you exercise, it causes the pores to open and helps release the sweat. Sweating is sometimes messy and makes us look tired and restless; but this helps to eliminate dirt and impurities in our system. As a result, it makes our complexion clearer.
In getting rid of stored fat in the body, burning the calories through exercise is the answer. Depending on the plumpness of the problem areas, more rigid activities are necessary, particularly cardiovascular exercises such as brisk walking, running, biking, etc.
Staying in shape gives you the opportunity to move lightly and freely without any feeling of shyness that you look heavy or always complaining that you tire easily. Exercise strengthens your body against fatigue and stress.
The benefits of exercise are reducing high blood pressure, preventing and controlling type 2 diabetes, preventing osteoporosis or thinning of the bone tissue and loss of bone density overtime, preventing cardiovascular diseases, stroke, helping to improve your mood toward having more patience, not easily irritable and helping to keep the muscle strong. Other types of cancers are also prevented such as colon, prostate and breast cancer.
Exercise doesn’t have to be always on the gym. Activities like running, walking, swimming, gardening, skiing or biking are suggested. Diet pills and other supplements are helpful but doctors’ advice should be sought for proper medication and guidance.
