To be healthy and fit, we all know that we should exercise and eat mindfully. However, it is true that when people dedicate time to one good behaviour, they devote less time to the other. So, which is more crucial for your health: nutrition or exercise?
As a fitness expert, I spend a lot of time encouraging and aiding others achieve their fitness goals. An important aspect of this is education. Exercise and diet are two sides of the same coin; both are essential for fitness. Two of the most important things you can do to be healthy at any age are eating a balanced diet and staying physically active. It's critical to strike a balance between the two. If you believe that exercise is the key to fitness, you may exercise more and pay less attention to what you eat. When exercise can certainly enhance your health—and make you feel better, among other things—people often overestimate the number of calories they burn while exercising and compensate by eating more. On the other hand, if you believe that eating a well-balanced diet is the key to good health, you may be less concerned about exercise and more concerned with what you eat.
Choose active living and make intelligent decisions regarding physical activity and good nutrition as a means to enhanced health. According to scientists, in order to stay healthy and improve one's health, one should engage in 60 minutes of physical activity each day.
The following are a few suggestions for staying fit:
Exercise:
Resistance exercise is used to build muscles and bones while also improving posture. Squats, crunches, and push-ups should be done 2-3 times a week to improve muscles.
Perform endurance activity for the lungs, heart, and circulatory system. Squats, crunches, and push ups should be combined with cardio at least 3-4 times a week. Reduce the time between sets of two exercises to increase endurance.
Stretching, reaching, and bending are all good ways to enhance flexibility and keep muscles relaxed and joints mobile.
Diet:
Eat at least 1 gram of protein per kilogramme of body weight per day. When you exercise and your protein intake is poor, you will lose muscle as well as whatever fat you may have. A high-protein diet will aid in the preservation of lean muscle mass. Include high-quality proteins such quinoa, chia seeds, nuts and seeds, cereal and pulse combinations, beans and lentils, and other animal sources of protein.
A gallon of water should be consumed every day. You'll stay hydrated and healthy if you drink enough water. Allow water to be your main beverage throughout the day. Plain water is the finest alternative to diet drinks and artificial beverages.
Micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, and phosphorous should be consumed on a daily basis. To meet the criterion, always use natural sources. Vitamins can be obtained by eating fresh fruits and vegetables. Calcium is good for your bone health, so incorporate sesame seeds, chia seeds, almonds, and ragi (nachni) in your diet. Iron-rich foods such as dates, jaggery, spinach, and garden cress seeds should be consumed.
Physical activity and healthy eating are both encouraged as part of a holistic approach to health. Exercise releases endorphins, which stimulate your metabolism and motivate you to eat healthier, which supports heart health, strengthens bones, improves sleep, relieves stress, and improves mental health. A mix of physical activity and proper food is required to create a sound mind, fit body, and pure soul.
