Staying active is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, yet many of us fall short when it comes to moving our bodies enough. Regular physical activity helps our immune systems, as well as keeping us energised, improving mental health and reducing the risk of certain diseases. A lack of exercise can have long-term implications on your overall wellbeing and happiness. In this article we will outline simple tips on how to stay active and why it’s important for your body’s health.

Regular physical activity has been widely recognised for its beneficial effects on human health. Studies show that regular exercise can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, improve mood and sleep quality, help maintain weight levels and reduce the risk for certain types of cancer. Physical activity also increases energy levels by boosting endorphins in our bodies which are responsible for making us feel good about ourselves.

Staying active is important for your body. You know this, but chances are that you often fall short of what you should be doing, affecting your health. However, there are still ways to stay active, even with limited time or resources. Here are 5 reasons why keeping up with your fitness routine is essential for your overall health and well-being.

The benefits of staying active

A regular exercise regimen keeps you in good physical shape, but it helps to boost your mood, keeps you healthy, and even prolong your life. Numerous studies have shown aerobic activity helps relieve stress, reducing anxiety and depression. In fact, many more extensive studies have shown people who have a physically active lifestyle live longer than those who don’t move as much.

This is because physical activity basically increases the overall quality of your life. This is why experts recommend at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise daily to sustain good health.

Tips on staying active

These tips on staying active will help you live a full life as you get older.

1) Build exercise into your routine

Walking is one of the most effective ways to stay physically active. Most adults with busy schedules usually have less time to exercise, so walking is an excellent way to burn off some calories and remain healthy without spending too much time at the gym. So when parking your car, don’t park close to the shops. Better still, don’t use your car for short journeys – try walking to a local shop for your top-up shopping trips.

2) Do not skip sleep

Lack of sleep increases your risk of heart attack, stroke, and cancer. So make sure to get eight hours of sleep every night. However, make sure you don’t work overtime.

3) Don’t suffer in silence

Sex is a great exercise. It is a form of exercise that is fun, and at the same time, it relieves stress. Unfortunately, as you age, you may experience erectile dysfunction. It can be depressing, but you do not have to suffer in silence. There are ways to deal with erectile dysfunction. For example, Vardenafil is a prescription drug that increases the blood flow to your penis, helping to maintain an erection.

4) Eat healthy foods

What you eat directly affects your overall health and well-being. So you should avoid processed foods such as full-sugar drinks, sweets, and desserts. Instead, opt for freshly prepared meals in your kitchen or go out for a nice healthy meal with friends and family, where you can savor delicious food full of nutrients. Remember, a healthy body needs nutritious food like fruits, vegetables, and grains while also getting enough essential fats (like omega 3), so add seeds (chia seeds, flaxseeds) to all your meals.

5) Get involved in social sports

Sports can be a perfect way to increase your physical activity. If you’re unsure where to begin, why not ask whether there are any social sports clubs in your area? Think Tennis, Badminton, Swimming, etc. However, check with your doctor before strenuous physical exercise if you have been diagnosed with a health condition.

The benefits of staying active are numerous, so you should try to keep up with your fitness routine whenever you can. And any time is a good time to start.
