Health and sports
These two words are very
important and it comes together, because one depends from the other. That is
why this topic is vital, for this reason I am going to write about this. All
the things these themes included represent an important part of what health is.
The concept of health is said by the World Health Organization:
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental
and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
According to this wide
concept of health, it is necessary to understand the facts related to it. For
example, the most common diseases, some advices to improve our health. Then,
there is the important role of sports to contribute and help to have a better
and plenty life.
The most common diseases
that most people use to have now days, due to the bad eating habits are the
hypertension, stress, fatigue, obesity. Why this? Because people use to eat the
first thing they can and more now, that there are junk food everywhere.
Let talk about hypertension,
the American Heart Association can describe this disease in the next quote:
“High blood pressure,
also known as HBP or hypertension, is a widely misunderstood medical condition.
Some people think that those with hypertension are tense, nervous or
hyperactive, but hypertension has nothing to do with personality traits. The
truth is, you can be a calm, relaxed person and still have HBP” (Arnett, 2014)
This illness affects the
blood pressure in people, because arteries can be filled with fat, this is the
reason why the heart start working fast and fast, because fat makes obstruction
into the arteries and it can be very dangerous. Hypertension cannot be cure,
but it can be treated with medicines and with a good treatment. The principal
cause is the obesity or it can be hereditary. For this reason I am going to
write some recommendations.
- First, you must have good
eating habits.
-Second, try to have a
balance diet of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids basically.
-Then, follow your medical
treatment.
-Also, make regular exercises,
you can walk, run, or even better if you play some sport.
-Finally, do not smoke or
drink to have a better life style with the disease.
Have a good health allow us
to enjoy all the things we do daily, without apprehension, do whatever we want,
in the good way, sure. Health is not only being physically okay, it also involves
our mind, because it also must be good and stable.
However, a good way to promote
health is by making exercises and sports. In our country the most common sport
is the soccer, boys and girls like it. So for this reason is the principal
sport practiced by the fans and people in general. Other popular sports people
tend to play are: walks, people tend to run, also people like to practice beach
volleyball and beach soccer. So this is an excellent way to allow kids,
teenagers, adults explore the physical activity.
As a result of the facts
that we have today, people even more become more sedentary. The principal facts
are technology and restaurants of fast food. Today children prefer stay at home
playing Xbox, play station and using their computer, instead of riding a bike,
or playing football.
So, parents should avoid
the uses of these technological devices and put attention to their kids,
passing time outside together promoting the sports, because at the end it will
be benefit.
