Excercise

It’s very important that we are healthy and take care of our body. I read an article on why it’s so important to take care of our body. It covered different ways to stay healthy. It covered the importance of healthy eating in our society today. It was a good article on healthy living.

In the article I was informed about how our mentality is affected by exercise (the runners high). Later, the article talked about why it’s important to have colonoscopies once Americans hit their 40s so that they avoid colon cancer. It also talked about how exercise can be like a medication for depression and other illnesses. The author of the article said that he has been taking colonoscopies since he was 20 and it is a very relaxing process to know you are cancer free. It was a very informative article and I learned a lot from it.

I think that our health is very important if we choose to live a long healthy life. If we want to live for a long time we need to be very concerned about our health and genetics. A lot of cancer is directly linked to our parents and grandparents. If they had a cancer our chances are very good. I stand by what I said our health is very important if we choose to live a long healthy life.

World statistics show that if our ancestors have suffered from a stroke or cancer then we are very likely to suffer as well. We need to still be very concerned with some of the things that we are letting into our bodies, but exercise is very important. Proper exercise, getting enough sleep, and regular doctor appointments are critical. Duke University says that the average American should exercise 30 minutes a day for 3 weeks. My doctor says that everyone should have a doctor’s appointment annually.

We should all be aware of the problems faced with poor health. If we don’t take care of our bodies then we will not succeed in living long. Proper exercise, getting enough sleep, and regular doctor appointments are key to healthy living. We should be really concerned about what we do with our bodies. I think that every American should be very concerned about their heatlh.
