Bodily fitness is being able to deal with and handle the daily stresses
of life, good physical and mental health, especially when maintained by
proper diet, exercise, and habits. Nutrition refers to the nurturing of
our body, in our ability to keep it healthy and functioning as it is
supposed to do. Our ability to provide the body with all the necessary
food, vitamins, and minerals so that we continue to thrive in our daily
life processes is a part of overall fitness. Fitness refers to the
condition of good physical, mental, and spiritual health.
Fitness of the body occurs when all the body processes, physical and
mental are functioning as the peak levels What does it take to achieve
complete body fitness? It requires more than simply taking a trip to the
gym, or a walk in the park.
Many factors come into play when we consider our body’s fitness. The
daily intake of food, vitamins, and water are absolute necessities, and
most often the items thought about. What about the conditioning of our
body to deal with life each day?
Does our physical exercise have anything to do with the fitness of our
body? Absolutely. For one condition without regard to the other, is not a
complete whole. The body includes all of our physical processes, our mind,
and our physical being as a whole. When we give thought to the fitness of
the body, most often we contemplate our physical condition as it applies
to our cardiovascular needs and our weight. But our bodies are much more
than heart and a nice figure. What about all of our other organs? Are they
fit? How do we maintain a fitness of the entirety? Daily physical exercise
that benefits the body as a whole, taking time to rest and restore what
has been depleted from our body over the course of the day, and making
sure that we adequately supply our entire body with the nutrition
necessary for healthy function.
If we use our resources wisely and educate our selves about the things
our body needs to maintain fitness, over the course of our life, it isn’t
a difficult thing to attain. But you cannot abuse your body for years, and
then hope for immediate results in trying to attain overall fitness. It
didn’t become unfit overnight, and it won’t become fit again that
quickly.
Proper attention to the physical needs of each part of your body
results in the fitness of the whole. Every part of your physical body
exists to work in unison with another part of the body. Two hands are
necessary for optimal functioning of the limbs, two feet, two eyes, etc.
The physical body is designed to work better than any machine invented to
date. It is more complex and powerful than any piece of equipment we have
on the market. It takes more abuse than believable, and continues to
operate, even without the daily requirements being met, for several days.
It is a fascinating machine, as machines go. But it is an even more
fascinating subject, when we choose to care for our bodies as the temples
they really are. They house our mind and soul, and when the body is fit,
it does its job tremendously well.
