Being healthy means a lot of things! It ranges from having good blood
pressure, cholesterol and heart rate, to maintaining normal blood sugar levels.
It also means keeping our bones and muscles strong, helping our body stay
flexible and maintaining a healthy weight. Also, staying physically active helps
to maintain a happy/healthy state of mind. In order to take steps to accomplish
what it means to be healthy, we often don't know where to start. A simple yet
effective way is to commit to a weekly physical fitness program!
Many of us are busy trying to balance work, family and other
responsibilities. As a result, our health goals are often put on hold.
That said; being healthy does not have to be difficult, just remember small
steps can lead to big impact.
Cardiovascular exercise helps bring down one's blood pressure,
LDL (bad) cholesterol while increasing the good cholesterol (HDL), helps
regulate a normal resting heart rate, keeps your blood sugar in check and
helps increase stamina for taking on those extra steps. Incorporating a weight
training program along with this helps get our muscles and bones stronger
which is crucial since the aging process can contribute to muscle mass and bone
loss. These two components of an exercise program can help with weight loss/
maintaining a healthy weight. Throwing in some flexibility stretches/exercises
and/or a Yoga/Meditation class or two greatly increases your state of mental
health and helps keep your body flexible.
