Importance Of Staying Fit And Eating Healthy

 In your childhood stories you must have read or heard that the king and the queen are the backbones of a kingdom, similarly imagine your body to be a kingdom and exercise and nutrition to be its king and queen respectively, so if you want to rule this kingdom just put them together. Someone has rightly said that health is our greatest wealth; our body is the only place we have to live in so we should try to keep it fit and take good care of it. As the preservation of our health, today is better than the cure of diseases tomorrow.  



Exercising and eating healthy go hand in hand. Inculcating both, exercise and a healthy diet in your daily routine will help your body function at its highest and in the best way possible. Staying fit and exercising daily strengthens our immunity and helps us fight diseases like, common cold, flu, diabetes, heart diseases, cancer, stroke, and shred up unwanted weight. It reduces stress, depression, anxiety levels and improves the quality of one’s life. Fitness and good health can help you attain a lot of happiness in life. 

Eating healthy is equally important as exercising is for remaining fit and healthy. A healthy, nutrient-rich diet has many benefits as it gives you a healthy heart, reduces the risk of cancer, lifts your mood, improved gut health, improved memory, weight loss, management of diabetes, strong teeth, and bones, and reduces sleep apnea. Hydrating your body at regular intervals is also very necessary, as 62% of our body is made up of water. It acts as a lubricant for the body and also helps in improving brain function, flush out toxins, carrier of nutrients to cells, and prevent constipation. 

Our bodies cannot produce everything that it needs to function so we have to take a nutrient-rich diet so our bodies can maintain optimal health. Following is the list of some essential nutrients, required by our body:  Proteins- These ensure the development and growth of muscles, hair, and bones, and form antibodies in our bodies required to fight various diseases. Foods that are good sources of proteins are; poultry, chicken, turkey, red meat, fish, seafood, legumes, dairy products, quinoa, and soy. Vitamins- 13 vitamins are essential for our body and they help to boost our immune system, strengthen bones, reduce the risk of cancer, give you glowing and healthy skin, and help the nervous system to function properly. All varieties of fruits and vegetables are the best sources of vitamins.
