Let’s Get Physical

Although I am always in front of my lappy everyday I make sure that I still do some cardio exercises and stretches. Exercise is good for our health and makes us vibrant and youthful looking. I know it’s really hard to lose weight, especially when you are eating a lot and you exercise less and your heart is pumping slowly. I’ve been to this stage and I don’t want to be unhealthy again because it’s no good. I also make sure that I am following the food pyramid by eating more fruit and vegetables and eating less oil, fatty and sweet foods. Exercise offers a lot of great benefits like:

• Reduce the risk of premature death
• Reduce the risk of developing and/or dying from heart disease
• Reduce high blood pressure or the risk of developing high blood pressure
• Reduce high cholesterol or the risk of developing high cholesterol
• Reduce the risk of developing colon cancer and breast cancer
• Reduce the risk of developing diabetes
• Reduce or maintain body weight or body fat
• Build and maintain healthy muscles, bones, and joints
• Reduce depression and anxiety
• Improve psychological well-being
• Enhanced work, recreation, and sport performance

So, keep on moving and don’t forget to drink plenty of water! Always remember, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
