Fit India
Movement “A step towards healthy and wealthy India.”
Today in the 21st century we have become too busy to even eat, sleep and exercise
properly. But what about the impacts of these on our health we cannot do any
work if we are not well.
Mahatma
Gandhi has truly said that it is our health which is our biggest wealth and not
the pieces of paper. Health plays a major role in building our future. What if
we know how to do work but because of our health, we cannot perform those work.
We must take
care of our health because it is one of the most important things which can make
us successful. The kind of lifestyle we are pursuing nowadays had made us lazy
to perform physical works. As a consequence, our health and life expectancy has depleted. Moreover today we are
technologically advanced but physically weak. Today because of the pollution level has increased so much so as diseases.
To make
people understand how precious our health is, our Prime Minister PM Narendra
Modi on 29th august 2019 on the occasion of national sports day has
launched the “Fit India Movement”. Its main aim is to encourage people to remain
healthy and fit by including physical activities and sports in their daily lives.
PM Modi also
requested all the schools and institutions to give their students live fitness
classes and sports classes because students can only study well when they are
physically and mentally fit. He urged that we should use stairs instead of escalators
and try to at least walk ten thousand steps daily excluding the use of vehicles
for short distances.
In fact there
are many diseases that can be cured by doing simple meditation, exercises,
yoga. Not only this, there are unlimited advantages of exercises in our body
like it boosts our immunity, improves blood circulation rate, and makes us feel relax as well.
Earlier
people were fit and their life expectancy was more than us because they know to
do physical exercises but in contrast to this today we have become so lazy to
even make proper food for us.
Today the
rate of heart and diabetes patients have increased so much, heart attacks have become so
common that every other person is suffering from some of these
illness. But its reason is not only environmental change but our carelessness towards
our physical
health.
It is not necessary for us to go to the gym and
spend so much to do fitness exercises we can do them in our home too. But we
should at least try to take initiative to practice physical exercises daily.
A nation can
only grow when its people are free from diseases. Fit India Movement is a very
good initiative taken by our prime minister and we must try to do physical exercises
atlease1 hour a day and should encourage every person to do the same.
