“Being healthy and
fit isn’t a fad or a trend. It’s a lifestyle. – Anonymous”.
True, isn’t it. There
is nothing wrong to maintain a healthy lifestyle. In fact, we need to keep
ourselves fit in the kind of environment we live in today. It is always better
to keep a check on our diet and exercise daily to remain fit and healthy. But, is
it necessary to be a fitness freak and go beyond your limits your body can
allow. Consider a recent case of Bollywood actress, Sridevi, who died of massive
cardiac attack in spite of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and exercising
regularly.
So, what should we do? Should we stop exercising and just
live a normal life? Definitely, not!
But, you must be wondering that too much is how much and why
it is bad to be a fitness freak? Let us see some of the reasons why you should
not be too much of fitness freak.
1.
Do not
punish yourself and your body
We should continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle but only
in the certain extent – in fact, to the extent our body can tolerate the
fitness regime. It is a belief that being healthy is not just about losing
weight but the life you gain. In addition, you also need to know the fact that
you exercise to stay fit but not to punish yourself because of what you ate
last night.
2.
Eat well,
sleep well and lead a stress-free life
In today’s scenario, everything we eat may be unhealthy, so
it is very important to always eat the right amount of food and work out appropriately.
Exercising too much and eating too little food is also not good for your health.
We only need to exercise to the extent of what our body can allow at a point of
time.
3.
Exercise because
it makes you feel good
We need to exercise as it feels good and makes us happy but
not because we feel terrified that we ate too much last night. In addition, we
do not exercise because we hate the way our body looks in the mirror. Though, there
is nothing wrong to look better because after all appearance is all that
matters but do not punish yourself to just make your appearance better.
4.
Stop worrying
of what others will say or think about you
We all are different and have diverse qualities, so we need
to stop worrying of what others will say or think about us. Instead, we should focus on what would work
for us without thinking too much about others. Not anyone else but its only “we”
who can find a way that will suit us based on our body. Health is not a “one-size-fits-all”
thing so stop following what others do and maintain a lifestyle that suits you
instead.
5.
Always stay
positive at all costs because it is the only motto to keep yourself fit and healthy
We should surround ourselves with like-minded people only to
bring positivity in our life. Often, it is believed that positive mind brings positive
vibes and in turn helps you to lead a positive life. Thus, we must stay
positive at all costs and put all the negative thoughts out of the window. Our
body listens everything our mind says so we must stay positive.
