Keeping Physically Fit and Healthy

Staying healthy physically can help you stay healthy emotionally too. If you are eating the right food and keeping fit, your body will be strong and help you to cope with stress and fight illness. Eating well and exercising often when you are young will also help you stay in good health later in life.

You do not have to do strenuous exercises to keep fit and healthy. Eating the right foods and working out from time to time will do. It takes discipline and determination to achieve that because what ain’t good for us appeals to us more than what benefits us. That yummy chocolate cake and cold-stone keep calling out to us every time while the greens just seem to repel us. Eating those junk foods ain’t bad but them taking a greater percentage of our diet is what is wrong. You just need to strike a balance.

Staying fit and healthy is a top priority for many people but there are still some of us that struggle to keep in tiptop condition and this could affect long term health. It can be hard to find the time to exercise regularly and prepare meals each day especially with a busy schedule but making some time during your day can help you reap the rewards in future health benefits.

So what can you do to get fit and healthy:

• Eat healthily. What you eat is closely linked to your health. Avoid fast and processed foods. Eat more greens and fewer fries.
• Avoid smoking and drinking
• Work out and exercise
• Stay out of direct sunlight and protect your skin
• Be sure to get sleep
• Drink lots of water
• Avoid caffeine and carbonated sugary drinks
• Reduce stress levels
• Keep track of food intake
• Stay motivated

It is not enough to wish for a good body, you must also work for it. Fitness is like a relationship you cannot cheat and expect it to work. Health is an investment, not an expense. Fall in love with taking care of yourself, mind, body and spirit. Work out. Eat well. Be patient. Your body will reward you.

Everyday is another chance to get stronger,to eat better, to live healthier and to be the best version of you.
