CLARION CALL: GET UP AND EXERCISE YOUR BODY.

Is the society paying deaf ears to the frequent calls by health experts to get more involved in exercising ones body? Is it that we have failed to decipher at least some of the health benefits we stand to achieve by doing so, or could it be that enough is not being done to educate the citizenry on the need for frequent exercise? Viewed from whichever angle, one is left with no other option than to conclude that it is a disservice to oneself  where it is established that a person has failed to come up with a deliberate action on physical exercise of the body to keep fit, except of course, on health ground.
Exercising yourself whenever you can, preferably on regular basis will do you a world of good as it tends to help you regain physical strength and stamina. Your joints will gain the much needed flexibility to aid your involvements in daily activities.
Experts have proved that bad cholesterol and fat lodged in the blood vessels which hinder free flow of blood to all parts of the body dissolves with the help of exercise, thus making blood supply in sufficient quantities to the body parts and aiding wellness in us possible. How much more, the increased work load on your heart in its attempt to pump enough blood round the body is brought to a manageable level. The health of your heart (engine) is thus enhanced.
Lets get something clear. You are not being asked to get prepared to participate in the Olympics, the Common Wealth Games or in any other competition. That is a different ball game. You are being asked to help yourself to keep fit and stay healthy. Therefore, there is need to get acquainted with various aerobic and anaerobic exercises you could engage in to keep fit. In one of my older blogs, I listed some health benefits in brisk walking. They are numerous. A brisk walk for about 30 minutes a day, three times a week will launch you into a pedestal that you will find out to be so good. Keep Walking.
