We all know that in the long race of achieving success, health is the thing which is left aside during the whole journey. And since we all are acquainted with the most famous phrase – “Health is Wealth” , it is important for us to prioritise health before taking any futuristic step towards success. Here are some of the benefits of prioritising our health. These are as follows :

1. It helps to keep our thinking, learning, and judgment skills sharp as we age. Daily exercise stimulates our body to release proteins and other chemicals that improve the structure and function of our brain.

• 

2. It reduces our risk of some cancers, including colon, breast , uterine, and lung cancer.

3. It helps us to control our weight. Along with diet, exercise plays an important role in controlling our weight and preventing obesity. To maintain our weight, the calories we eat and drink must equal the energy we burn. To lose weight, we must use more calories than we eat and drink.

4. It improves our sleep. Exercise can help you to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

5. It reduces our risk of heart diseases. Exercise strengthens our heart and improves blood circulation. The increased blood flow raises the oxygen levels in our body. This helps lower our risk of heart diseases such as high cholesterol, coronary artery disease, and heart attack. Regular exercise can also lower our blood pressure and triglyceride levels.

Following are some points by which one can make exercise a part of daily routine:

1. Make everyday activities more active. Even small changes can help. You can take the stairs instead of the elevator. Walk down the hall to a coworker’s office instead of sending an email. Wash the car yourself. Park further away from your destination.

2. Be active with friends and family. Having a workout partner may make you more likely to enjoy exercise. You can also plan social activities that involve exercise. You might also consider joining an exercise group or class, such as a dance class, hiking club, or volleyball team.

3. Keep tracking of progress. Keeping a log of activity or using a fitness tracker may help set goals and stay motivated.

4. Make exercise more fun. Try listening to music or watching TV while doing exercise. Also, mix things up a little bit – if you stick with just one type of exercise, you might get bored. Try doing a combination of activities.

5. Find activities that you can do even when the weather is bad. You can walk in a mall, climb stairs, or work out in a gym even if the weather stops you from exercising outside.
