The Fitness in Health and Fitness
Physical fitness can be referred to as a
state of good physical health. Regardless of age or sex, physical activity will
help to decrease the risk of chronic (lifestyle) diseases, increases balance
and coordination, aid with weight loss, and lifts a person’s self-esteem and
confidence. Regular exercise will also toughen your bones and tones your muscles.
However before you start any physical activity you should take all your health
concerns to your doctor who will provide adequate guidance. Beginning any
exercise program is a significant choice, but individuals shouldn’t allow it to
be an overwhelming one. Plan carefully and pacing oneself and you will be on
your way to making health and fitness habits which will lasts a long time.
The Health in Health and Fitness
Health can be referred to as a state of whole
physical, mental and social wellbeing. World Health Organization (WHO) described
health in 1946 as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social
well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." The
health triangle - throughout the campaign for health and fitness, it is realized
through different mixtures of physical, mental, and social wellbeing, together referred
to as the "health triangle."
Health and Fitness is not complete without a Healthy Diet
A healthy diet is described as one in which the
right nutrient ingestion is maintained while fat, salt, cholesterol, and sugar
intake are reduced. A healthy diet will contain varied food which may include
fruits and vegetables, proteins mainly from fish, dairy products, and nuts. Healthy
eating is synonymous with a healthy diet, that is, it is related to the
practice of food intake for healthy living and good wellbeing.
Persons who eat healthy diets are not as
likely to surrender to common minor ailments, such as some forms of influenza (common
cold). This is because the eating of a healthy balanced diet should offer sufficient
nutrients and energy for the body which will help to fight off such illnesses. During
illness healthy diets can also be used to help the body. "Feed a cold and starve
a fever" is a common myth known to many in Britain. This is true a myth because
giving the body the required nutrients during illness is very helpful. A healthy
diet will replenish nutrient and energy stores to be used by the body to fight
illnesses.
Health and fitness is very important for the
general and overall wellbeing of all individuals. Without good health and
fitness life in many aspects will be very difficult. So go ahead a get on the
right track towards go health and wellbeing.
