Regular exercise is one of the most important parts of daily life. Research has shown that 30 minutes of exercise a day is more beneficial to mental wellbeing than any antidepressant on the market. Not only does it help the brain, but your body as well. The human body is not used to being lazy and slothful, and it causes people to be stressed, sad, and anxious, which is commonly seen in the modern day. Most people neglect their body in favor of their mind, but if they put their body first, then they would be good in both areas. The natural human condition is spending time outside in the sun and being active all day long, but this is completely contrary to the modern lifestyle. It is unnatural to be lazy, and the effects on your health can be seen from it. Lack of exercise causes obesity, diabetes, fatigue, and increases the chances of heart disease and cancer. These are some of the most common causes of death in modern times, which is understandable because of most people’s lack of exercise. Vitamin deficiency is also a common problem around the world, with around ⅛ of the population suffering from Vitamin D deficiency. This stems from the fact that most people don’t go out into the sun for extended periods of time to get their share of Vitamin D. Vitamin B12 as well as iron deficiency are also common problems in the modern world, with both of these being responsible for red blood cell production. Both of these Vitamins are also commonly found in red meat, which is incredibly healthy for you. Beef also contains Vitamin B6, which allows for proper brain function. The modern diet is deficient in most nutrients you need to live, which also takes away from your exercising capabilities. Staying properly nourished is vital for exercise, which is necessary for a long and prosperous life.
