Does Fitness Matter

A recent article in Time Magazine has made a case for not having regular exercise into your life and said that the exercise has nothing to do with weight loss and weight control. The author wrote that the more he exercised, more his appetite, more he ate and he won the greatest weight. To have a personal experience, as it is a thing, but to make the hypothesis that exercise makes you fat couldn't be less true or more irresponsible. Fitness is important and can play an important role in weight loss.

When we talk about diet and exercise, there are a lot of factors that enter into a successful weight loss. Food consumption and calories are number one on the list, but genetics, attitude, support and Yes, exercise, all live up to successful weight loss. There is still no other formula that works to lose weight better than this one: burn more calories than you take in. This is the simple answer to a very complex equation.

It brings the question: Does matter of surrender in the form?

For the defence of the author of this now infamous article, it states that exercise plays a crucial role in the control of diabetes, health of the heart and in the prevention of some cancers and it is on this brand. But the role of exercise in our lives is a different experience for each person. Individual needs are different that are the relationships we have with the fitness, but it is a place for physical activity in the lives of everyone.

Expand our tour national size and childhood obesity continues to increase, the need for regular exercise is perhaps more important than ever. 60% of Americans do not move enough and this statistic has not much changed since Eisenhower was in office. This does not mean that 40% of Americans are walking and moving enough, but 80% of our health care, costs increase in lifestyle related problems. This includes people who smoke, drink and driving recklessly. Most people are still too watching TV, eating too many calories and simply does not move enough.

Technological developments play a role in Why Americans are mostly sedentary. Elevators, escalators, the transport and all the conveniences of day that we enjoy can make our life easier, but it adds to our lack of movement. Return to hunting, collection days, we lived to find calories calories are what keep us alive. At the time; the creed has been move or die.

We are more motivated to move. Our calories are readily available and easily obtained. The need to exit out and dig, plow, plant and harvest are replaced with fast food, frozen meals and eat in restaurants. The hunting for food, is what led our ancestors to walk up to three miles a day. This need has disappeared for a long time.

What exactly is moving more? What defines a mobile society? Fundamental national guidelines for physical activity maintain the health of the heart is to walk for 10 minutes three times a day, five days a week. 30 minutes a day on most days is a difficult prospect for most people. Break down to minis walks 10 minutes, which makes it more attractive and certainly makes it seem like an attainable goal. But these 60% of Americans who are sedentary, even it is too large an order.

It is not just obesity which puts people at risk. It is the lack of movement. Those who are bold but active and in shape have half the rate of deaths of people of normal weight who are unfit. Half of the death rate is a huge statistical and all because they are active, no not because they are thin.

Where we choose to live can make a difference in our perception of fitness. The value of some companies exercise and see the need to integrate adaptation into our daily lives. In General, European countries allow easier travel bike and literally design their cities to accommodate walking pedestrians. Studies show that people who live in dense cities tend to walk more. Areas where people live farther apart should lead to their destination. Places planning safe city to walk in and make the effort to easier to achieve movement.

But there is another study that shows that the opposite may be true. When a city is too dense with people and buildings and is too crowded, it becomes counter-productive to the market. Security becomes a problem, as does the sense of do
