From birth, a person is constantly in motion. Let the baby make simple movements, but they give him the opportunity to develop, constantly becoming more complex. Thanks to the movement, the child learns the world and even improves intellectually.
In recent years, lack of movement and lack of exercise have become a real scourge of urban residents. A sedentary lifestyle, constant rush to work and an abundance of time spent on the Internet make people spend a lot of time in office chairs, and when they come home after a busy and nervous working day, they lie on sofas in front of TVs, in an attempt to relax and avoid stress. But stress cannot be expelled from the body in this way, it only settles even deeper in the body, waiting for a convenient opportunity to go outside in the form of nervous breakdowns and a bad mood. Motor activity is necessary for a person to have a full life and stress resistance, because as a result of motor “starvation”, the body breaks energy metabolism and breaks down the digestion of fats, thereby making it possible to grow harmful cholesterol in the blood, which provokes atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases.
Motor activity gives joy to life and forms a positive outlook on life, and its absence disrupts the metabolism and reduces the supply of oxygen to internal organs and muscles. The heart decreases in size as a result of the lack of the necessary load, and this is dangerous with its various diseases - heart attack, various carditis.
The skeletal system is also changing : the bones are thinning because calcium is washed out into the blood. This condition is fraught with the development of osteoporosis. Teeth begin to break down, the likelihood of blood clots and kidney stones increasing. In general, the absence of such a necessary component in a person’s life as physical activity is a threat to health. The body is easily exposed to infections, exacerbation of diseases that occur in a chronic form, a person becomes irritable and tired, problems with sleep and memory appear.
The human motor system is designed for constant physical activity, and their absence excludes the concept of a full life. Even simple morning exercises bring the muscles of the body into tone, so you need to force yourself to at least warm up in the morning. Each person, due to their age and physical capabilities, can choose a suitable mode of physical activity that is right for him. It is not necessary to engage in heavy and fast sports that are especially traumatic, and calm Pilates exercises, for example, a couple of times a week, will be enough.
Motive activity involves such simple components as walking up stairs, going to work and going to shops on foot. Every day you need to increase the distance traveled, then over time shortness of breath and fatigue will quietly leave your life. Gradually, morning exercises and walking can add stretching exercises for joint flexibility at least once a week. Stretching can be done at any convenient time. Such exercises develop joints and stretch muscles, making movements and gait particularly beautiful and smooth.
Developed motor qualities contribute to the acquisition and restoration of joint health and mobility. This lifestyle significantly improves it and prolongs a person’s youth. Therefore, do not give up the movement in favor of lying on the couch - so you will always be in good physical shape and have a good mood, delighting others with your sincere smile.
