A guide to Health and fitness..

"Health And Fitness..."
It is not uncommon that we over-hear or even end up discussing "health blah blah..Fitness blah blah.." in a social gathering or peer-talk or even class reunion !! Apart from the fact that this topic is one of the most heavily scientifically debated, blogged, media covered, errr... even adult and boys’ magazine try to create space for this purpose, apart from usual eye candies. HEALTH AND FITNESS is a aspect that needs deeper understanding of personal physic and mental setup.
Well, this blog is a attempt to make readers aware and equipped for better health and total fitness.
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental, {emotional, spiritual} and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” As defined by WHO. With respect to health “fitness” can be now defined as “quality of an individual, proved fit or suitable in all aspects of health”
Now, there you go, thrown to a state of confusion; most of us are aware of health as just a physical aspect which needs trimming up and trimming down to called “healthy”. We hardly take pains with the mental, emotional, spiritual and social aspects of health. The gross frame or physical body becomes health once the deeper aspects of mind, emotion, sprit and social relationships are addressed. Physical aspect of health can be improved or ruined, as most of us are aware, by following the directions given by mind or mental aspect. Mind in turn is controlled by mood/emotions, which is paddled by zeal/sprit or the spiritual aspect and finally relationship with society balances our preferences and negations.
Many websites give detail accounts on maintenance of physical fitness, workout schedules and nutritional allowances for the day or week. Healthy food and workout programs are followed religiously and meticulously by millions, and yet, it is here the billion dollar questions start popping out “does it work for everyone?” “How many people have failed with the options offered?” “Will I become my old-self if I break the routine?” “What is the ultimate solution for my complete health?” And yes, the answers are out there too. Few satisfying and many don’t even come close to satisfactory tag. So, there again arises question “Is it wrong?” My view is –they are not wrong, but they CAN become wrong if other aspects of health are not addressed.
Exercise is a must for aspiring healthy; it forms the pillars of support for the magnificent mansion called HEALTHY or a 'wholesome individual'. Wherein, the foundation is by the mental-health, floor by emotion-health, walls by the social-health and roof by the spiritual-health. Yoga, breathing exercises and meditation help us improving mental, emotional and spiritual health. ‘Group sessions’ and ‘get-togethers’ improve social health and relationships.The blog will primarily deal with fitness of these topics-mental, emotional, spiritual and social health.
I am not going to dig into ‘maintenance of physical health’, ‘daily workout plans’, ‘recommended intake for age and body mass’, ‘body mass index’, ‘smoking and other vices’ and other usual topics which you can Google and get information on .
In my blogs, I will do my best to impress upon you, the importance and steps to attain better ‘wholesome’ health.Feel free to comment and tell me if I am wrong, or if you have a suggestion that can change outlook of society towards "health and fitness".Lets try and rediscover the HEALTH and FITNESS.
