The important topic that is being addressed is physical fitness. Physical fitness holds great significance because it embodies the needs and qualities

that are needed in order to live life to its fullest potential. Overall a strong

physical and mental way of life will greatly reduce the chances of contracting

illnesses such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and certain

forms of cancer. Poor diet and poor fitness antics may also lead to mental

health issues such as depression, anxiety, and an overall feeling of

hopelessness. Being in good health is what allows us to function and grow

into obtaining our biggest accomplishments. The best way to incorporate

exercise into your everyday regimens is to wake early in the morning before

leaving to attend work or school and performing a quick but well put together

physical activity. The other alternative to waking up early would be working

after attending work or school.Putting fitness first in your life should be

essential and not up for debate. A lot of hard work, and dedication is required

but it is worth it in the end. Eating healthy and exercising must become part

of our lifestyle in order for it to become permanently embedded in our daily

routine. Just think about,it from where are you receiving your vitamins and

minerals if you are constantly stuffing yourself with junk or fast food. The

general population is suffering from many types of diseases that could greatly

be reduced.The overall amount of relaxation and destressing your body

encounters due to these two small but major changes is life altering. When

our bodies are over exposed to a lot of sugar it is automatically converted to

fat. We do not have to reach nor perform at the level of an olympic

athlete in order to maintain an adequate level of well-being; receiving at a

minimum of thirty minutes of exercise, whether it be a quick jog or

bicycling, along with consuming the proper food choices should be enough to

keep you in good health. In order to be victorious at achieving a level of

physical fitness that we are satisfied with we must be willing to put in the effort to to reach our greatest level of potential.

Physical fitness is important because the positive benefits that are reaped

from it most definitely outweigh the negative. The reason why I say this is

because it has been scientifically proven that consuming nutrient packed

foods on a regular basis help to improve the way your body processes and

digest food. Some examples of healthy snacks you may want to consider

giving a try are mixed nuts, dark chocolate, celery sticks, greek yogurt, baby

carrots with ranch dressing, kale chips, popcorn, granola bars, string cheese,

and pretzels. There are also ways to stay healthy that do not include working

out such as practicing eating smaller portion sized meals, and consuming fiber rich foods.
