Exercise
Good physical and mental health depends on the proactive health
management. The proactive health management includes routine modest exercise, healthy
food and
nutritional supplement. Regular exercise is good for health; moderate amount of
activity performed three to five days per week can improve your strength, hearts
health, one’s mood, memory, to learn and reduce the risk of heart disease. The
systematic way to develop an exercise pattern is to; select an exercise pattern
of your choice.
Medical supervision is mandatory for those with any heart problem
and those above forty years of age.
For those with musculoskeletal problem, a physiotherapist’s
supervision is ideal.
The preferable exercise pattern should be a combination of your
choice, for five days a week, aerobics for two to three days a week and
strength training exercise for two to three days a week and rest for two days a
week. Aerobic exercise will help lose
weight, increase stamina, reduce the risk of chronic degenerative diseases and
strengthen your muscles and helps mobility at older age. Resistance/strength training will give
sufficient strength for long bones of upper extremities, spine, pelvis and
ribs. This also prevents loss of muscle mass, which is commonly seen in those
above forty years.
The idea of modest exercise is to keep the production of free
radicals under check. Intensive exercise
causes elevated aerobic metabolism leading to the production of free
radicals. During intense exercise there
is an increase of 10 – 20 times oxygen consumption than a normal sedentary
person. During exercise the fat and
sugar are converted to energy through oxidation, most of the oxygen combines with
hydrogen to produce water but 5 percentage of oxygen becomes free radical.
A scientific regimen allows a person to:
- Reduce excess weight
- Lower blood pressure and sugar
- Control the risk of Osteoporosis by developing strong bones
- Increases level of good cholesterol (HDL) and decrease levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides (Fat)
- Optimizes performance of immune system
- Reduce the risk of chronic degenerative diseases (diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, back pain, depression and obesity)
- Build up one’s sense of well being
Routine modest exercise will help you to lead a healthy long old age
life without any chronic degenerative diseases. Go To HEALTH INFORMATION
Nutritional Supplement
Nutritional supplements provide nutrients which
our body is not getting from normal food we consume. Nutrients are chemicals that an organism
needs to live and grow. READ MORE.....
Aerobic Exercise
Physical exercises done at a moderate level for a long period of time is Aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise generates energy during exercise using oxygen, required for the work out. Aerobic exercise like walking, jogging, running, swimming and bicycling help you live longer. During aerobic activity you move your larger muscles in your arms, legs and hips. You will breathe faster and maximize the amount of oxygen in your blood. Your heart will beat faster and increase the blood flow to your muscles and back to lungs. All your blood vessels will widen to deliver more oxygen to your muscles and carry away waste products (CO2 and lactic acid). Your body will release Endorphin, natural pain killer that promote and increase the sense of well-being. READ MORE....Strength Training/ Resistance Exercise
Strength training is based on the principle that muscles will work to overcome a resistance force when required so. Strength training /resistance exercise program include strength to improve bone joint function, bone density, muscle tendon and ligament strength. The basic principle behind strength training involves number of repetition (reps), sets, tempo,exercise and force to cause the desired changes in strength. READ MORE.....
