When we talk about fitness, we fixate our mind on looks, well built, attractiveness, beauty and even sometimes status. Fitness, an ideal body condition, is never understood in a wholesome manner, the idea about fitness is vague, illusioned , distorted, and hypothetical.The ambiguity around fitness mostly stems from what influences us or from what we draw our motivation from.
A number of celebrities who died recently were either at gyms or seemed to us as physically robust. Untimely deaths of young actors like Sidharth Shukla, Siddhaanth Vir Surryavanshi, Amit Mistry sent a wave of shock around the entire country. "They were so fit!," many people said then. These actors, all in their prime, were regularly hitting the gyms, working out, had good and clean diets and were always passionate about their work. Recently after Sushmita Sen opened up on surviving a heart attack, it again made us think she looks so fit on screen! We have seen the former Miss Universe being a fitness icon through the years.
Sleep deprivation is common these days. Nobody cares to give the body the amount of rest it needs. An adult human body needs 7-8 hours of sleep on a daily basis. Less sleep might not make you feel lethargic in the beginning but it is sure that depriving the body of sleep you are throwing it towards serious damage.Our body needs to regulate the stress hormones. Lack of sleep poses a greater risk for cardiovascular health.
Just as sleep less is talked about diet. There are two sides of an imbalanced pattern of diet, one is not consuming the right amount of nutrition and filling the stomach just to suppress the appetite.
The second one is putting the body through different kinds of diets, without consulting any doctor beforehand. These days foods are being delivered with the blink of an eye. This fast food delivery system fills the gap of buying groceries and cooking. Huge dependency on processed foods is the reason why our body does not get sufficient nutrients. Information is easily available these days. A diet trend that worked for some big influencer or a celebrity gets amplified within no time. This tempts people to try this fad. Without even understanding the pros and cons of the diet, people simply indulge in it.
Fitness is the condition of the body where the mental and physical health is sound. It includes body composition, and biological functions and not just appearances.
