Health Is Wealth

HEALTH IS WEALTH
The benefits of being physically fit include:
 Being healthier
 Increased chances of living longer
 Reducing the chances of depression
 Having stronger muscles and bones
 Achieving or maintaining a healthy weight
Health is about being physically, mentally and socially fit and active. A healthy
person is always ready to work in any situation. A healthy person is more
productive than an unhealthy person. The glow on his face reflects his health.
People also describe a healthy body as a body without any disease. The health is
the most critical factor to take care.
Our health is most responsible for how we are going to live in the future. Our
health does not include only physical fitness. It is also about mental and social
activeness. Bad health always brings bad luck for us.
Health is an essential part of our life. It affects our lives to the greatest extent.
Being healthy and active is always an advantage for us. A healthy person enjoys life
better than others. Being healthy refers to being physically, mentally and socially
active throughout the day. Physical health means the health of our bodies. We can
achieve physical health by regular exercise and proper diet.
Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your
endurance. Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your
cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and
lung health improve, you have more energy to tackle daily chores.
Is gym workout really good for health?
Gym workout improves strength, flexibility and proper posture in older adults. It benefits
mental health by boosting the mood and self-confidence. Gym exercises improve quality of sleep
and you wake up feeling more energetic and refreshed. However, remember, “excess of anything
is bad”
1. Exercise controls weight

Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you
engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more
calories you burn.
Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time
to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none at all. To reap the
benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day — take the stairs instead
of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.
2. Exercise combats health conditions and diseases
Worried about heart disease? Hoping to prevent high blood pressure? No matter what
your current weight is, being active boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol,
the "good" cholesterol, and it decreases unhealthy triglycerides. This one-two punch
keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which decreases your risk of cardiovascular
diseases.
Regular exercise helps prevent or manage many health problems and concerns,
including:
 Stroke
 Metabolic syndrome
 High blood pressure
 Type 2 diabetes
 Depression
 Anxiety
 Many types of cancer
 Arthritis
 Falls
It can also help improve cognitive function and helps lower the risk of death from all
causes.
3. Exercise improves mood

Need an emotional lift? Or need to blow off some steam after a stressful day? A gym
session or brisk walk can help. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that
may leave you feeling happier, more relaxed and less anxious.
You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise
regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.
4. Exercise boosts energy

Winded by grocery shopping or household chores? Regular physical activity can
improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance.
Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular
system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lung health improve, you have
more energy to tackle daily chores.
5. Exercise promotes better sleep

Struggling to snooze? Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster, get better
sleep and deepen your sleep. Just don't exercise too close to bedtime, or you may be
too energized to go to sleep.
6. Exercise can be fun … and social!

Exercise and physical activity can be enjoyable. They give you a chance to unwind,
enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy. Physical activity
can also help you connect with family or friends in a fun social setting.
So take a dance class, hit the hiking trails or join a soccer team. Find a physical activity
you enjoy, and just do it. Bored? Try something new, or do something with friends or
family.
