SIMPLE WAYS TO KEEP YOUR BODY HEALTHY
The main
aspects of the body to be healthy are physical, mental and diet constraints. The
main sources for the body to be healthy are good sleep, regular exercise and
mind relaxation.
Physical fitness:
The physical
fitness are categorized into two types:
General fitness
In its most
general meaning, physical fitness is a general state of good
physical health. A physically handicapped person's body may be
physically fit (healthy), though its ability is likely to be less than optimum.
Physical
fitness is usually a result of regular physical activity and
proper nutrition.
Physical
fitness can be divided into different areas, including:
- Flexibility
- Cardio-respiratory endurance
- Strength
The
government Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans say to aim for
at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of aerobic activity that requires moderate
effort each week.
Task-oriented
fitness
A person may
be said to be physically fit to
perform a particular task with a reasonable efficiency, for example, fit
for military service.
Good Sleep:
Good sleep
is very essential for a human body to keep the body healthy and it increases
the activeness in the body.
In order to
be a very healthy person, you need 8-10 hours of sleep every 24 hours. This
keeps you awake and alert, so you don't have to drink caffeine and sugar-loaded
energy drinks.
Mind relaxation:
The mind
relaxation for the body can be achieved by the recreation activities in the
life such as doing yoga and playing games which relaxes the body from day to
day burdens and problems.
Water:
Water plays
a major role in keeping the body healthy as it purifies the blood in the body
and many other organs which help in circulation of essential blood levels and
cholesterol levels in the body.
Diet:
A healthy
diet is one that helps maintain or improve overall health.
A healthy diet
provides the body with essential nutrition: fluid, adequate
essential amino acids from protein, essential fatty
acids, vitamins, minerals, and adequate calories. The requirements for a
healthy diet can be met from a variety of plant-based and animal-based foods. A
healthy diet supports energy needs and provides for human
nutrition without exposure to toxicity or excessive weight gain
from consuming excessive amounts. Where lack of calories is not an issue, a
properly balanced diet (in addition to exercise) is also thought to be
important for lowering health risks, such as obesity, heart
disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cancer.
