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.
