Keeping Fit

Good health is not something we are able to buy at the chemist’s and we can get back with a quick visit to the doctor when we are ill. We often ruin our health by poor diet, stress, a bad working environment, and carelessness. By keeping fit, changing bad habits or the surrounding conditions we can make our body last without major problems. And what are the ways to keep fit?

First of all you must miss no chance of outdoor activities. Skating or skiing in winter and swimming in summer must become part of your everyday life. Second, exercise. You must exercise whenever you can – in the morning or in the evening. Third, regular meals are a must if you want to keep fit. Try to avoid going without any food for hours.

The Romans spoke of health in a proverb: “A healthy mind in a healthy body.” In addition to physical health, an understanding of mental health is also important. The body does a great deal to take care of itself, but by learning a few important health rules, it is possible to help the body to work at its best.

Nowadays, health specialists promote the idea of wellness for everybody. Wellness means achieving the best possible health within the limits of your body. Some people prefer a lot easier exercise to more strenuous exercise. Some people like playing three sweaty, competitive games of tennis.
