“With the right diet and exercise, you can totally change your life for the better – no matter what the current state of your health is”
Physical activity should never be ignored as part of a healthy lifestyle. Being physically active is all about engaging in an activity that you enjoy; which makes you sweat and conditions your heart. Physical activity or exercise is not meant for those that want to shed excess weight alone; it is good for everybody that desires sound health and a beautiful body.
Slim or fat, one form of physical activity or another is suitable for you. Just like foods, exercise is not a one form fits all. This means that there are different physical activities tailored for every one, including physically challenged people. Why, you may ask? The simple answer is that the body was designed by God to be dynamic and not be static.
Remember, water forms about two–thirds of our body mass. Think of what happens when water sits for a long time in a cup, puddle, or pond. It gradually gets covered with slime and gunk, breeds disease and becomes toxic. Think of those green algae– covered pounds; the process is similar to what goes on in many people’s bodies.
When water moves, life thrives. Running water is usually fresh water. Rivers and waterfalls are beautiful and inviting – ALIVE. That is a perfect picture of what exercise and physical activity does for the body. It refreshes your body and clears it of toxins and cellular garbage, sharpening your mind and giving you strength and energy.
Just like a car, your body was designed to move. If you pack a car in your garage for long without driving it, you don’t expect to get immediate response the day you decide to drive the car; if you don’t drive it, it will break down. It was meant to run.
Your body was designed to be positively dynamic; it needs water, rest, food and exercise to run smoothly. When you park your self in a chair and don’t exercise, eventually you may run down your engine. A lot of people have become pools of disease due to stagnation, so they get to the point where they can’t exercise because their bodies are so broken down with heart disease, arthritis and other degenerative disease. “Stirring the waters” with exercise has a powerful effect on your health. How?
(a) Exercise helps reduce obesity: Aside good nutrition, the best way to maintain healthy body fat percentage is through regular exercise. Research has shown that the most successful body-fat loss in the clinically obese is when they participate in physical activity that burns 4,000 calories a week. (b) It helps reduce cholesterol levels: In tests conducted, people who exercise for three 10 minute– sessions a day showed greater improvement in their blood cholesterol levels.
(c) Regular exercise reduces blood pressure: Studies show that regular exercise reduces blood pressure. However, if you are concerned about your blood pressure or do not know your blood pressure level, you must check with your doctor before committing to any exercise (not all exercises are suitable for everybody).
(d) Exercise prevents cancer: Studies have shown that approximately one–third of cancer deaths could be linked to diet and sedentary lifestyles. Simple movements and exercise decrease the risk of certain cancers such as breast, colon, and possibly prostate cancers.
A study published in “The Journal of the American Medical Association” showed that women who engaged in the equivalent of brisk walking for about one or two hours per week decreased their risk of breast cancer by 18 percent compared with inactive women.
NEED I SAY MORE: A study by Joslin Diabetes Cancer Researches, U.S.A., showed that obese adults who lost just 7 percent of their weight and did moderate intensity physical exercise for six months improved their major blood vessel function by approximately 80 percent, regardless of whether or not they had type 2 diabetes or not.
