Abstract
Eating healthy diet, managing stress, exercising and having good night’s sleep may help to human feel emotionally and physically fit. But, in busy hustle and bustle of work and family commitments, physical health often gets overlooked, or even ignored, until there is problem requiring medical attention. This article reviews to learn what persons can do to live in healthy life while managing emotionally and physically vigorous. Based on studies, most common physical health and wellness issues affecting community members are obesity, hunger, chronic disease, infectious disease and mental health. A regular physical activity is one of the most important things persons can do for betterment of health. This can help to control body weight, lessen hazard of cardiovascular disease, lower blood cholesterol level and blood pressure, reduce risk of heart attack, diabetes, cancers, osteoporosis and metabolic syndrome, strengthen bones, muscles and joints, improve mental health and mood, improve ability to do daily activities and prevent falls if a person is an older adult, recover better from period of hospitalization, and increase chances of humans for living longer. Physical activity or exercise can improve health and reduce risk of developing certain conditions or diseases including unhappiness, nervousness and prevent chances of grief. Physical activity can also help to manage body function, feel better with more energy, better mood, feel more relaxed and sleep better. Most healthy children and adults should be active on a daily basis, and there should be mix of both leisurely physical activity and structured exercise. Examples of leisurely physical activity include hiking, biking and walking, while examples of more structured forms of exercise include strength training, running and sports. Physical activity includes endurance (activity for heart, lungs, circulatory system), flexibility (perform gentle reaching, bending and stretching to keep muscles relaxed and joints mobile) and strength (resistance exercise to strengthen muscles, bones and improve posture). Flexibility training should be performed daily, including stretches for all major muscle groups in order to maintain mobility. When anyone is not sure about becoming active or boosting level of physical activity because afraid of getting hurt, it is good news to take moderate-intensity of aerobic activity, like hurried walking that is generally safe for most individuals. When persons have chronic health condition such as arthritis, diabetes or heart disease, it is better to talk with Physician to find out physical activity plan that matches his abilities to avoid being inactive.
