Exercise and fitness

             Any human being who wish to live a healthy life, then exercise is key. Regular exercise help in getting rid of unwanted weight in the body, helps in boosting health conditions, exercise reduces diseases and improving one’s mood. On a daily basis, I ensure that I play football with my friend, not only for socializing but for nutritional values. The daily exercise helps in keeping fit and relaxation. After the football match, I ensure that I run for at least two kilometers. All these exercises are aimed at making my body fit and free from illness related to lack of exercise. Some of the negative effects lack of exercise includes; dizziness diseases, and laziness (Insel, 2017). To ensure the fitness is not in vain, I ensure proper diet which includes a lot of vegetables and fiber related foods. I avoid red meat at all cost but instead focus on the white meat which I consume once a week. Additionally, during the fitness period avoid a lot of starchy foods which are a source of weight gain (Insel, 2017). Finally, it is important to consume a lot of water for metabolism and respiration purposes. It should be understood that during the rigorous exercise a lot of carbon dioxide is deposited in the lungs. Therefore, a lot of oxygen is required.
