Hey Steemians,

I am so excited to share my secrets of sucessful keeping fit and staying healthy. I will be spilling all my secrets so make sure you read till the end.

*** INTRODUCTION***

I know a lot of us have heard the word ‘health’ and ‘fitness’ and even, we use it in our everyday conversation. We say phrases like ‘health is wealth’ and ‘fitness is the key’ but What does the word health really mean? For me, It implies the idea of ‘being well’ and i call a person healthy and fit when he/she functions well physically as well as mentally. Good health and fitness is not something one can achieve entirely on his/her own. It depends on their environment and the quality of food you eat. We live in villages, towns, and cities and in these places, our environment can affect our health, our day-to-day habits also determines our fitness level, the quality of food, air, water all helps in building our fitness level.

HOW I STAY HEATHY AND FIT.

I have tried as much as possible to fight fat from my body. I use to have a fat belly, clothes really don't fits me, i am taking drugs because of one illness or the other. All those made me shy and never want to be noticed. Until i thought about it, that i can actually work on all that by keeping fit and eating healthy.

So the first thing that really helped me stay fit is food. I took more of nutritious food, Food that are rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates. Protein helps to build my body, Carbohydrates gives me energy to perform my various tasks, Vitamins and minerals help in building my bones and boosting my immune system.

However, it is very important that you take a balance diet because taking food in an uneven quantity is not good for the body, so it is important to take the essential nutrients in the right amount. Taking a balanced diet helps the body and mind stay strong and healthy. Good food helps you sleep better, makes the brain function properly and makes you have a healthy body weight. I make sure to add vegetables and fruits in my daily diets and also make sure i have a three-course meal. I have been able to reduce the amount of fat in my diet to prevent cholesterol and heart diseases.

EXERCISES/FITNESS

Daily exercising has really helped me a lot. It has helped improve my muscles, helped in good oxygen supply and blood flow throughout my body, my heart and lungs work very well and my bones are just so strong that i don't feel any pain when i work. I spend at least twenty minutes in my exercise daily, So it just helps to burn fat and controls the cholesterol level in my body.

However, i don't usually go to the gym to exercise rather i engage in meditations and yoga which i do in my house. You all know that meditation is considered the best way to fight depression. They don't only make me physically fit but mentally strong as well. Meditation helps my concentration level, makes my mind relax and think of becoming positive. Yoga makes me stressfree and controls my blood pressure. I have an app on my phone that has helped me with my Yoga exercises. I also subscribed to Chloe Ting on youtube, she has amazing workout for the body.

CONCLUSION.

When a person is fit and healthy, he/she is happier and less prone to chronic diseases. A healthy mind reacts better in a pressure situation and his/her self-confidence level is increased, the risk of heart failure is reduced drastically and the person's immune system will be strong enough to fight cancerous cells.
