If You're Not Moving, You're Dying
A couple of months ago - some issues I was experiencing caused me to do a 180 with my diet and exercise routine. A better way to explain it would be - I realized if I didn't start on my way to being healthy, I might not be around.
We've all heard the saying, "Garbage In, Garbage Out," for our diets. But we may not have heard the saying: "If You're Not Moving, You're Dying," for our bodies.
When you're lethargic and sedimentary - your body loses. This is just a small list of the things that can occur when you choose to stop moving:
- Inflammation.
- Increased chances of high cholesterol and/or blood pressure, diabetes, certain cancers, poor blood circulation, strokes, and heart attacks.
- Lower metabolism.
- You'll experience fewer calories burnt. Couple this with a poor diet, and weight gain - even obesity - is likely to follow.
- Loss of endurance and strength.
- Weak Bones.
- Compromised immune system.
- And much more!
Try to implement a few or all of these simple steps:
- Try to stand and stretch at least once every hour.
- Work exercise into your daily routine.
- Limit the amount of sitting you do.
- Don't take the easy way out. Take stairs as opposed to elevators. Park further away as opposed to looking for the closest spot.
- Pay attention to what you're putting into your body. Eat for fuel - not fun.
The idea of retiring sounds fun to someone who dislikes their job. But, when you think about how many people take a turn for the worst after retiring - it doesn't seem as appealing. Instead - find something you love to do and keep moving!
