The health element some people miss is the easy part. First we have to describe fitness. Fitness is preserving the body's structure to work with a minimum of illness, problems, and breakdown. That's like explaining a gadget, but that's what our body is, a wonder gadget.
Like any machine, what kind of gas we put into the machine is critical because if low-grade gasoline enters the machine, the result is low-grade efficiency. We live in a world where sugar is clearly the dietary king.
If a baby develops a taste for sugar when it's young, parents fail to get the kid to consume something that's nutritious from the addictive taste that sugar has.
The next time you visit the store, look at some of the aisle food products. Note the children's snack, morning tea, cereals, and even some main courses. Look for fructose and sucrose because it's sugars. Many children's beverages are filled with sugar, let alone soft drinks.
Adults have the same problem as many foods we believe are safe and nutritious are still filled with sugar. We need to concentrate on a few vegetables , fruits and lean meats, including poultry and fish. Our diets are the first step in acquiring fitness for our bodies. And that's the easiest element we've listed.
Next comes the tougher part, but not so hard if we're coordinated a bit. Exercise is important because it involves our bodies. Our muscles should be relaxed, our blood vessels a little cleansed. Exercise thrives our souls. Everything to do is walk a little every day. No marathon running stuff, just take your time and walk a half-an-hour day.
A half-hour walk is around 3⁄4 to 1 mile. Take your time to enjoy the scenery, which means a lot to your body.
Sleep well and drink plenty of water. The body can't heal without enough rest. Practically all healing happens as we sleep. Can we say more? Water flushes our system and keeps us going. Our body consists of 50-60% water, so staying hydrated is essential.
The toughest part in this is agreeing to do something. Good health and wellbeing aren't automatic. It takes years to get into some health problems for young and old people as a result of little to no exercise and consuming all the wrong things over time. It makes sense to take some time to repair all the damage done.
