Everyone knows that sport is health, and health, of course, prolongs life. But unfortunately, for almost everyone, the words sound intimidating: proper nutrition, exercise, rejection of destructive habits.
After all, this is really so! Still, doing nothing, lying on the couch and faithfully making friends with laziness is very simple. It is much more difficult not to succumb to laziness and bad habits, that is, every minute, every second to be in confrontation with oneself. And in order for all people to start adhering to the correct lifestyle and move towards sports, it is necessary to know several very important facts:
- Bad habits delete 30 minutes of life from every day.
- Excess weight reduces life expectancy by 5 years, and obesity even more by 10-15 years.
- Everyday physical activity for 20 minutes increases the lifespan by 2 years.
How do you start if you have no experience in sports? Very often, after such a question arises, people choose for themselves the wrong workouts with an excessive load, or they start to "give up", saying that nothing is working out.
For starters, consider revising your daily diet to include healthy and balanced foods. Diet is again a scary word that instills fear in every person. Also, many people think that this word means complete abstinence from food. This is complete nonsense. Diet is the correct consumption of food.
Everyone knows that the human body contains 80% water. Therefore, taking in a sufficient volume of water per day is necessary, as well as proper daily nutrition. You also need to drink water during your workout. After all, dehydration of the body will not lead to better health. The water balance should be maintained every 10–20 minutes, approximately 1/4 liter at a time. Otherwise, the efficiency is reduced by 20-30%.
A few basic rules for physical activity:
- It is recommended to start with active walking. This will be a great warm-up for the body, and it will be sufficiently oxygenated.
- The load on the body should be increased gradually every day. If after exercise you feel pain or some discomfort, it is advisable not to do them for a while. Better to change to lighter ones.
- It is best to exercise in the morning or in the afternoon, as by the evening the body is tired, and insomnia may creep up.
- Do not eat for at least 30 minutes before playing sports. Otherwise, the exercise will be much harder.
