Fitness is something that all of us want. we all get up one fine day and decide its time to get healthy and we start out very enthusiastically, but we never actually have enough motivation to complete what we started out with. i would like to blog something for those people who are in this category. fitness is not all just about exercise but is also about a lot of other things.

So what is fitness?

Fitness is both the well being of the mind as well as the physical body and only when there is a balance between the both will we be able to achive perfect health.

Statistics show there is an increase in the the incidence of heart related ailment in todays world . Why???? What is different from our fore fathers times? Today we eat healthy , we try not to fall sick, we go for regular health check ups yet we are unable to escape that heart attack or myocardial infarction.Our ancestors never ate healthy. Infact the gorged on red meat and animal grease, both a taboo for our generation.but coronary disease was never a problem then.

The answer is work/life style.
Our fore fathers worked hard and they ate well . We don't work but still eat well. Tell me how is the body supposed to burn those excess calories?

There was a recent study that was done in India, where they argued that the use of coconut oil (coconut oil has one of the highest content of harmful cholesterol)for cooking was one of the leading causes for coronary heart disease in a small state called kerala. However the counter argument was that coconut oil was used in preparation of food in kerala for many centuries and why now only the problem. The answer they found was that the dynamic change in life style. Later another study was done where they found that in spite of good health care systems at their finger tips the upper class was at more risk for a coronary artery disease as compared to the lower class.

So where do we start??/

As usual from the mouth... not enough just to watch what you eat but also how u eat...............

Let me give you example from a intresting study.a study was conducted in the United states and in France. The subjects were divided into two groups based on thier countries and both groups were given fast food to eat for a couple of days. Their physical activity was measured and optimised so that all individual subjects burnt almost the same amount of calories. The results were astounding. They discovered that the americans had a significant increase in thier cholestrol levels as compared to the french. but why. Both had the same food and almost the same level of activity. They discovered that the only difference was how trhey ate thier food. the americans had thier food the way how the food sounded fast. the french took twice as long or even more to eat the same amount of food. they wrere more relaked , talking and chewing more as comapred the americans.The study concluded that this was the reson whey the french did not have significant increse in tghier cholestrol levels.

Can u relat this to our fore fathers? They alays had a meal around the family table where they talked and ate. For them meal times formed a real bOnding time between the family

Compare it with our scenario.!!!!!!!! we cant wait just to gooble down our food as as we can get to our own work.
