Physical Fitness
Physical fitness is
directly related to diet and exercise; these two go hand in hand. If
anyone thinks that he can be physically fit just by following a strict
diet regime, exactly the way the dietician prescribes, by strictly
regulating his calories intake or balancing the various categories of
nutrients he requires, one really cannot maintain a physically fit
life.
Similarly, if one believes that he can just go on eating recklessly
without caring for his calorie intake, believing that he will burn off
everything in the gym, then that too is not the right attitude to have
a physically fit life.
According to the researches constituted by various organizations, to
achieve physical fitness you must balance both your diet and your
exercise regime. Overdoing nothing is advisable. Nothing in excess is
ever good or healthy. Many people tend to go overboard in either of the
two.
For instance, many people believe that fats are nothing but calorie
builders which pile up around the lower abdomen region and are the sole
culprits for making one obese. So they totally stay away from fat. They
believe that just by staying away from fat they can maintain their slim
and trim figure and be physically fit. But they forget that fats
provide the body essential heat and energy and the skin becomes dry and
loses its sheen in total absence of it. Hence, if we totally avoid fat,
we tend to be low in carbohydrates and energy too. Thus having moderate
quantity of all essential nutrients is essential for physical fitness.
The correct option would be to have fat in moderate quantity and if you
are obese and want to maintain your physical fitness then go to a gym
and burn it out. When you burn out your extra calories, the body
uses up and absorbs the nutritional aspects of the food that you had
taken and expels the unused portion when you go for the high
energy using, calorie burning work outs.
Eating a well balanced diet and exercising is the only route to
physical fitness. There is no other way out. Together they
prevent various diseases like heart diseases, diabetes and improve
overall quality of life and even extend life. Although exercises
are considered rather old fashioned and laughed at by the younger
generation, nothing is better for your physical fitness than a sweaty,
vigorous exercise. Even a moderate exercise does wonders, if you are
unable to do vigorous exercises due to various health constraints.
However you must always consult a dietician before embarking on any
major change in your diet. Those who are suffering from any ailment,
especially diabetes or cardio vascular problems must essentially
consult a dietician and a physician before embarking on any major
exercise regime for physical fitness.
It is true that there is nothing as good as a combined diet routine and
exercise regime but it should always be undertaken under medical
supervision to avoid any complications that may arise. Physical fitness
is important no doubt. But you definitely have to keep in mind your
limitations and health conditions before setting upon a strict physical
fitness routine.
