Take A Walk Daily !!

Oh, if we could only somehow discipline ourselves. We have grown used to relaxed lifestyles and everybody needs exercise, mind you. Regular exercise is essential not just for people affected with heart-diseases, diabetes, depression etc. but for all normal people of all ages. Walking is the best exercise as it is most convenient for people of all ages. The healthcare experts advise that a normal person should carry out some form of exercise at least 5-6 days a week for at least 20-30 minutes. But make it brisk walk where you sweat it out and your heart pumps. Jogging and weight-training are also recommended, but starting these at a later age might bring some health problems. Consult a healthcare expert or family physician also in this regard. Remember that for exercise, you have to take some time apart from your ordinary routine in life. Hence, housewives who exert themselves indoors or executives who think moving around in their offices serves as exercise are hugely mistaken, as those are basically duty-bound stressful activities (even though they have their own merit).

Regular exercise carried out over years contributes to your overall health and builds up your immune system against diseases. So take some time out instead of sitting or relaxing in front of laptops or cable TV all the time and invest it in a good life!
