Have you ever wondered if exercise could be the cure
to many health problems? I have heard that it can help prevent many diseases later in life. Could it be the answer we’re all hoping to hear or is it relevant to
think of looking at exercise in a way that it could be a cure for many common
health problems?

Sometimes I think to myself that I want to start exercising
more but I feel like there’s not enough time and I could do something more
important, but then I feel like exercising should be put in my schedule as a
first priority. Are people cutting it off because they have more important
stuff to do? I understand how busy one’s life is because I have 4 kids myself
and I struggle to find the time; I can only imagine someone trying to find the
time having a job, kids, housework, school, etc. How much time does one need to
exercise in order to get the benefits? I always feel like if I’m only going to
work out for ten minutes, why even bother? Will taking the time of day to exercise
really help against diseases and complications? I feel like if this is true why are people
not taking action? If work is a few blocks away, go walking or if it is a mile
or two away, ride a bicycle; small things like this will benefit you in many
ways.

In order to find the answers, I will find articles related to exercise
and health and the effects on our body if we do not exercise. I will also want
to look into articles on how and why people get diseases and weigh it all down.
Moreover, I think the articles that are written from specialists and doctors will have much
useful information.
I think this is a very relevant topic, especially considering our national standing in regard to health and obesity. The question you posed that I found especially interesting was our hesitance to begin leading a healthier lifestyle. I appreciate how you wound up to this question by mentioning the benefit of exercise even in the smallest increments. If ten minutes really makes a difference, how can we not "take a ten" for our own health? I'd be very interested to see statistics or even scientific proposals about what perpetuates this aversion we typically have to exercise and health.
ReplyDeleteAs I was reading your post I started to wonder about the relativity of health and what the typical view of "healthy" is? It made me question if people feel less motivated to do even a short exercise, because it will likely not make them sprout abs overnight. It makes me wonder how many of us define health as those sought after abs, and is that really the ultimate standard of health?
I agree with your research plan, I think it is solid. I think you're quite clever for researching not only the correlation between health and exercise, but also choosing to work the problem backwards by looking at the effect lack of exercise has on the body.
Looking forward to seeing more, great job!
