Health tips for youngsters to stay fit during Corona
You can either practise some Natural Health Tips or workout at home using some basic equipment like skipping ropes, dumbbells, etc. There is a direct relationship between your diet, physical activity, and health. Your nutrition is a key player when it comes to physical, mental, and social well-being. And it’s important for preventing disease.
Lifestyle
factors may also determine if you’re going to get sick or remain healthy. One
of those factors is physical activity (PA). A sedentary lifestyle is usually
associated with an increased risk for chronic disease, loss of movement, and
decreased immune health. For those reasons, physical activity and movement are
extremely important during the coronavirus pandemic. With that in mind, I will
cover the benefits of PA, where your focus should be, how to think about
exercising, equipment, how much you should be doing, and much more.
Benefits
Physically active
individuals usually live longer than those who are inactive or may have a risk
of heart disease. Inactivity is an important risk factor similar to high blood
pressure, smoking, or high cholesterol. These are some benefits of exercise.
·
Stress and anxiety relief: Stress and anxiety are rising with
the current pandemic, and it can lower your immune response. Exercising
releases chemicals in your brain, such as serotonin and endorphins which can
help improve your mood, reduce the risk of depression and cognitive decline,
and delay onset of dementia.
· Immune support: Regular PA helps your immune system function.
·
Reduces health risks and prevents diseases: Regular PA
reduces blood pressure as well as risks of serious health issues such as type 2
diabetes, heart disease, and stroke when it’s paired a balanced nutritious
diet.
· Bone, muscles, balance, and flexibility: PA also improves bone and muscle strength, and increases balance and flexibility. This is important for everyone, especially older adults because it can prevent falls and injuries. As for children, it aids with growth and development and sets healthy habits for the future.
·
Strength and core strength: This is the amount
of force a muscle can produce against some form of resistance. This resistance
can come from external objects or your body weight. Your core is a set of
muscles that play a key role in many movement patterns. Improving core strength
may improve motion.
·
Aerobic capacity and endurance: This is the ability
of your heart and lungs to get oxygen to your muscles for their use.
·
Flexibility, Mobility, and Stability: Flexibility is the
capacity of moving through your full active and passive range of motion.
Mobility is moving your joints and muscles properly in an active manner through
their range of motion (ROM). Stability is maintaining control of the position
and movement of your joints. People usually lack mobility and stability in
their joints and lose overall movement.
·
Balance and coordination: Balance is the ability to stay in
control of your body’s movement and coordination is being able to move two or
more body parts with control.
