Health and fitness are two words that we have heard on a daily basis. When we go to school, we have our physical education classes where we are trained to be fit. Health and fitness are two sides of the same coin. If you are fit, then you are healthy!
Often we have heard phrases like “Health is wealth”, but have we wondered why do people say so? It is because if you are healthy, then you will be able to work harder and earn more wealth in your life. Let us see what the definitions for health and fitness are.
What is health?
Being ‘healthy’ means a state of being completely physically and mentally well. It is dependent on a lot of factors such as hygiene, environment and food intake. If a person wants to live their life fully, they need to be healthy. For example, if you get tired very easily after taking a flight of stairs, or you are eating too much junk food, then you are not really healthy. If you eat more vegetables and fruits and a balanced meal 3 times a day, then you are on the healthy path.
What is fitness?
Fitness is not about how much you can run or walk in a day, it is also about the discipline that you follow in everyday life. If one has control over what they eat in the day and how much they exercise, then they can be fit and can do anything thrown at their feet.
