Importance of Physical Activity

Our body needs a balance between physical activity and rest. Today, most people's daily work does not include any physical exertion. Rather, it consists mostly of sitting at a desk, and usually in front of a computer, for 8-10 hours a day. This sedentary lifestyle is sorely lacking in physical activity.

Imagine a pool of stagnant or sluggish water. Dirt and rubbish will accumulate. Eventually, the water will become murky and may even give out a bad smell. In contrast, the water in a running brook is clear and full of vitality. The same goes for our body. When we lack physical activity, our circulation becomes lethargic, thus metabolic waste is not eliminated efficiently. Over time as the waste accumulates to a certain level, the person will become ill. Therefore, to compensate for the extended hours that we spend sitting, we need to exercise.

Understanding Our Body's Needs

Throughout the ages human beings live relatively close to nature. With the coming of the industrial age, people started moving away from the countryside and lived in cities instead. The change in our living environment and the advent of modern technology resulted in us living in a more and more synthetic world. This also led to a dramatic change in our life styles when compared to a hundred or two hundred years ago. Instead of working in the fields, people moved to work in factories during the industrial age, and now in offices. Since the invention of electric light, our working hours are no longer limited by daylight, and production increased. All these are good in terms of progress. However, some of the resulting changes in our life style go against the nature and needs of our body. So we need to pay more attention and cater to our body's needs, both physical and emotional, in order to avoid paying the price of health.
