Importance of being physically active

avatar

I wanted to share some thoughts on this topic because recently I had to take my cousin to hospital for some issue. The reason was that his SPO2 levels were not stable. It was way below 70 percent and his lungs were filled with lots of CO2. He was still managing with low levels of Oxygen. Obesity is one of their biggest problems for him. He did not have any other problems in the body.

In the last 2 years, his weight increased from 100kg to 160kg. I understand that this can happen to anyone but I guess everyone should wake up when they see their weight increasing over 100kg. Whoever it may be it is hard to do many things and stay active with an overweight body. The body will feel tired all the time and it will send the same signals to the mind as well.

COVID has done so many good things for some people and for some people it has done a lot of harm. I hear from some of my friends that they were able to get babies because they were able to spend a lot of time together during the lockdown. Though this is really the good part. There is also a dark side. Some people started getting health issues and especially gained more weight during COVID. Not being able to move from their place is one of the biggest reasons for this. They find it hard to be physically active and that in turn increases their body weight.

I'm really glad that the work-from-home culture is getting over and most companies have started calling their employees to the office. When people start going to the office, the commute itself gives a good mental strength and in addition to that, they get to see a lot of faces and interact with lots of people in the office. This acts as a great boost to the mind and gives a great lively feeling. Sitting at home and staring at our laptops for a long period of time is not going to help anyone.

People are now used to working from home culture and they don't find it interesting to go to the office. For some people going to the office is a relief and for some people continuing work from home is what is amusing. But with work-from-office culture, we are able to move physically and stay active.

My cousin had a serious issue and the doctor said that most of the organs in the body are literally soaking in water and he did not take any effort to reduce his weight. The doctor also said that he is very close to reaching Coma if he is not going to take care of his health. I would like to request everyone to do a lot of physical activities wherever possible. Spending so many hours in front of our laptops to earn the money and spending that money on our health is not wise.

Quite spot on with the part where you mentioned how Covid had its bad sides and a bit of good too. Yes, a lot of free time was available in our hands, a bit too much for us to handle, to be honest. That is why a lot of people have now become lazy and more inclined towards staying indoors.

I myself have gained a bit of weight too, and it's been over 3 years since I last hit the gym, but I surely did try to maintain my diet. Now I don't know if I succeeded or failed with my diet and weight maintenance, but I surely didn't gain way too much weight; I probably gained around 4 to 5 kgs, which resulted in some annoying love handles on the sides lol.

Obviously I'm not as active like I used to be, because I was an absolute muscle-head at one point, embracing the "gym life" wholeheartedly. Now, many would think that I'm now completely out of shape, but I'm not actually, it's only my midsection that's out of shape haha, everything else is still solid; thanks to a good diet and a fair amount of activity and exercise.

Yet, it's mostly thanks to the changes that I implemented in my diet. People forget that exercise comes in second place, diet comes first. A good diet alone is more than enough to maintain a good physique, but when it all gets to extreme levels, requiring massive changes, only then the gym and a solid workout routine becomes necessary.
