Balanced Diet Vs. Physical Exercises

Staying healthy and keeping yourself in shape is not an easy task. When one gets older, the physical fitness and strength gradually declines. People would always want to be as energetic and fit as they used to be in their youth phases. For this reason, people indulge themselves in different form of physical exercises to keep them healthy and fit.

Some times back ‘aerobics’ gained a lot of popularity which of course helped everybody stay in good shape. With the life getting busier and busier every day, they did not have enough time to start or continue with their aerobics. The popularity of such aerobics then lost its composure. Other such activities include Tai-Chi, Shaolin or Whushu all being Chinese art and other marital arts as well. But the marital arts became more efficient in self defense techniques rather than a mere physical exercise.

Yoga was also one of the most popular forms of such exercises that people got into. For the first timers, yoga seemed to be too much more difficult and thus yoga is now practiced on rare occasions by rare people only. Many, health related books regularly publish simple day to day tips and tricks to remain healthy like using the staircase instead of elevators and escalators, rope skipping in the morning, jogging a few kilometers ever day in the morning and etc. But what I feel is, a balanced diet is more than enough to help keep a body healthy. Proper combination of nutrition and consuming them in time is the only thing that helps anyone, maintain their shape. Junk foods, delicious dishes with edible chemical ingredients should be avoided. Fruits are the real source of such nutrition and have no side effect of any kinds. So if you want to remain healthier as you grow old, you should always be cautious on your diet.
