Our first topic of discussion on our lifestyle segment will focus on the 'Benefits of Exercise'  which is an important activity of our day to day life. I will relate this topic to a recent retreat that i attended recently with my fellow youths from church. I will narrate my small experience about the activity before dwelling back on the main topic of the day.

The Retreat...
 On Wednesday 25th August 2017, I joined my fellow youths from church in attending a youth retreat that was organized by our youth leaders. The main purpose of the retreat was to go out and have fun,enjoy ourselves and clear our minds from the normal day to day activity. As the saying goes, 'Work with no play, makes jolly a dull boy'. We departed at 10.00a.m and by 10.30a.m we had already arrived at our destination. The venue of our retreat was Kolol Riverside Resort which has a very beautiful scenery and a huge field. We did a lot of activities and played different sorts of games as part of exercising.  Everybody including I had such a good time. At the end of the day, my mind was fresh and my body was rejuvenated with more energy.


Exercise is important in our day to day lives but we may not know why or what exercise can do for us. It is important to remember that we have evolved from nomadic ancestors who spent all their time moving around in search of food and shelter, traveling long distance on a daily basis. Our bodies are designed and have evolved to be regularly active. Overtime, people do develop problems if they sit down all day at a desk or in front of the  TV and minimize the amount of exercise they do. Outlined are some of the benefits of exercise:

Benefits...

1. Exercise increases energy level: It improves both the strength and the efficiency of your cardiovascular system to get the oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. When your cardiovascular system works better everything seems easier and you have energy for the fun stuff in life.
2. Improves  muscle strength: Staying active keeps muscles strong and joints, tendons and ligaments flexible, allowing you to move more increasingly and avoid injury.
3. Maintenance of a healthy weights: The more you exercise, the more calories you burn. In addition, the more muscle you develop, the higher the metabolic rate becomes, so you burn more calories even when your not exercise.
4. It is good for your heart: It reduces LDH cholesterol (the type that clogs your arteries), increases HDL (the good cholesterol) and reduces blood pressure so lowers the stress in your heart. Added to this, it also strengthens your heart muscles. Combined with a healthy diet, exercise lowers the risk of developing coronary heart disease. 
5. It Enhances your immune system: It improves your bodies ability to pump the oxygen and nutrients around your body that are required to fuel the cells that fights bacteria and effects. 

There are different types of exercise that you can do in your daily lives. Some of them include:

• Running
• Going to the gym
• Swimming
• Dancing
• Aerobics
• Cycling.

Lack of proper exercise has clearly been shown to be a risk factor for cardio vascular diseases and other conditions: less active and less fit people have a greater risk of developing high blood pressure. Physical inactivity may increase the risk of certain cancers.So to avoid all those risks, it is important for you to proper exercise.

In conclusion, i urge you all our readers to try as much as possible to do proper exercises on your daily lives so as to prevent risks of certain diseases. I hope this article will be of importance to you all. Every Thursday, is a day for us to introduce you to a trendy yet sophisticated lifestyle, keep it tuned to STYLE WITH ALPHY.
