As human beings we take pride in our appearance, hygiene and wellbeing. We are consistently told in society that we “need” to do things. One example from dentists is that we need to brush and floss our teeth daily, even twice a day for some. This eliminates bad dental hygiene and protects us from painful experiences at the dentist! Is there a reason why we shouldn’t be giving the same amount of attention to the rest of our body?
The answer is simple “No!”. Just like brushing our teeth to keep the dentist’s drill at bay, we need to increase our exercise and physical activity daily to improve our overall body health and stay pain-free. This comes through improvements in cardiovascular health, respiratory health, muscular health, bone health. We should look after all of these things daily just like we do our mouth and teeth. We can achieve this from aerobic exercise for heart disease, lung disease and metabolic issues, resistance exercise for Osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis. We can also use a combination of aerobic and resistance exercise for obesity and type 2 diabetes. The possibilities are endless.
