Care of the Body
Some tips about your body.
Need for exercise
Everyone needs some exercise in order to keep the muscle in good state. When we remember how much of the body is made up of muscles, we realize the importance of this conditioning. The object of exercise is to cause the heart to pump faster. This forces a little more blood into capillaries in the tissues, and makes certain that every part of the body is being nourished and having its waste products removed. It also causes deeper breathing, thereby emptying out carbon dioxide from sacs in the lungs that are ordinarily not used. The right amount of exercise gives a feeling of well-being, not fatigue.
Need for rest
Very strenuous exercise or exercising for too long may produce fatigue. Fatigue is caused by wastes accumulating in the body. When muscles are moving continuously or under strain, they produce more waste products than the body can immediately rid itself of. When this happens, the body needs rest, in order to catch up on waste removal. Sleep is the best kind of rest and one should get enough sleep every day.
Hope these tips help some of you.
