Keep Strong - Keep Healthy

We are constantly bombarded with gloom and doom news stories warning us that heart disease is the world's number one killer followed closely by cancer then diabetes, but what is really the biggest threat to your health?



The answer to this is the gravest and most serious public health public of the 21st century is physical inactivity and the extreme risk it poses to the deterioration of health. Simply put, sitting on your butt all day instead of moving your body in the ways it is supposed to move can be deadly.



It seems strange that so much money and resources are spent on medical techniques, surgery, diagnostic equipment and drugs to try and save lives once they are threatened by disease and illness. Why are we are we still putting the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff? Shouldn't we be stopping people from falling off the cliff in the first place?



Exercise is not merely important it is absolutely critical if one wants to stay healthy and live a long healthy life. Most people, however, do not realize this because of the time factor between the lack of muscle building and maintaining exercise and the resulting decline in functional ability and ill health is so great. This time factor can be many years before ones body begins to show the harm done by a lack of proper exercise.



If nothing is done to prevent it, we lose muscle tissue as we age at the rate of one half pound per year from the mid 20's and this rate doubles after age 50. This causes a weakening of the human body and all of its structures, systems and processes.



Everything is downgraded - from the metabolism (the bodies engine), the efficiency of the heart and lungs, brain power, muscle and bone strength, energy levels, mental and emotional stability, how we look and feel, and the biggie - the immune system which exposes us to greater risk of disease.



Yet such a simple thing can be added to ones life to stop all of this happening. All adults need a proper exercise program that builds and maintains muscle strength. Forget long slow endurance types of activities like walking, jogging or cycling. These are not a proper exercise program that works the muscular system through its full ranges of movement under a load.



It has been well proven that these recreational activities do not meet the requirements of proper exercise that stops muscle and bone loss in adults as they get older.



Get yourself into your local gym and get a proper program set up by a fitness professional. You not only need to do the exercises properly you need to do them at the right level of intensity (degree of effort used) otherwise the program will be of little use.



Take it upon yourself to ensure that you will not be a victim of premature and preventable 'lifestyle disease' somewhere down the track. This will be determined by what you do and don't do in the way of exercise and healthy eating every single day of your adult life. Up to 80 percent of these diseases are under your control so grab that advantage while you can.
