World Physical Therapy Day: Importance of physical health
Physical health forms a major part of our life. Being physically active, maintaining nutritional balance, good rest and sound sleep are a few components of physical health. Giving importance to physical health will reap benefits at all ages of your life. Good physical health can contribute to leading a successful life. Physical activity or exercise will reduce risks of long term diseases like cancer, diabetes, cardiac and respiratory diseases. It will have long term health benefits too. Inactivity is on a rise due to sedentary lifestyle, technological advances in gadgets, etc. Goals should be small and realistic like designing a small chart to write out your fitness goals and try to stick to it as much as possible. Once you achieve the goals, you can change them and raise your activity/fitness. Walking to the metro or railway station if possible to add fitness to your commute, parking the car farther away from the entry of your office will add more walking/activity time to your day.
