Exercise - Health and Fitness

Exercise is one thing that most people in the world aren't doing enough of. Health is affected negatively by the lack of exercise and fitness is usually determined in levels. Someone's fitness level will usually tell you how in shape or healthy that person is. So we can see that these three topics all go hand in hand in the well being of a persons body.

The human body is capable of adapting to any stresses that it is put under. When you exercise you are exerting more energy and the muscles have to work harder than they are used to which results in them getting sore. A muscle is sore because it has micro tares and it is repairing them which will result in a stronger muscle.

Being healthy is a combination of fitness and nutrition. Studies are now showing that Americans are overweight more so because of poor nutrition choices rather than lack of exercise. But a change in both diet and workout will benefit overweight people to much greater extent than either one alone.

Here are some tips to live a healthier lifestyle. Eat fish at least 2 times per week. The health benefits from doing this are amazing! I can't stress the importance of eating fish enough. It improves your cholesterol dramatically while providing a meal low in fat and high in protein. Eat 5 times in a day and eat fruit everyday. Most people go days without a piece of fruit. If you don't have fruit go to the store now and buy fruit and juice that contains 100% fruit juice.
