’Fitness’’ is not the word only used for “physical fitness.” But, it also includes the fitness of mind, body, and spirit. So, we can say that fitness means having a fit body, a sound mind, and a peaceful mood. We usually don’t understand the benefit of being fit until illness hits us. What illness can that be? It covers diseases of both body and mind. Such as weight gain, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, which causes heart diseases, certain cancers, type 2 diabetics, loss of sleep, depression, stroke, etc. So, to avoid all the circumstances, what should we do? Notably, when we go to doctors for advice, we are usually advised for two things, that are exercise and healthy eating. For being fit, we cannot ignore any of it. There are many types of activities. I was familiar with three types of exercises earlier as far as it goes. Those are walking, running and swimming. But I started to google for workouts, which I can do by staying at home. I have learned about many forms of exercises like- stretching and balancing, yoga, aerobic, cardio, climbing stairs, jump rope, dancing, planks, kick-boxing. Also, there are some outdoor exercises- running, biking, hiking, inline skating, swimming, etc.
Similarly, If we talk about healthy eating, there are many diet plan options. Nowadays, the most famous one is the keto diet, which consists of 75% fat, 10-30% protein, no more than 20-50 grams of carbs a day. Another one is intermittent fasting. Although, It is a pattern, not a diet. But, people count it as a diet plan. However, more diet plans are named the vegan diet, low-carb diets, the HCG diet, and many more. But, in my opinion, eating healthy is the primary key to maintaining a balanced lifestyle. For this, we don’t need to follow a strict diet plan to live a healthy and fit human being; only neat and clean eating is necessary, but exercise is a must.
On the other hand, if we want to maintain an appropriate weight, both exercise and diet plans are necessary. A healthy lifestyle is the key to a prosperous life. So, to live a healthy life and keep our body fit, there is no alternative to healthy eating and at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. Also, exercising 30 mins a daily keeps us away from depression, increases energy level. Therefore, I can conclude that good health brings a healthy life.
