Importance of Physical Fitness in a Student’s Life

Good health is something everyone should strive for. Having good health means, being physically and mentally fit. The saying, ‘healthy mind dwells in a healthy body’ holds true for everybody across the globe. Physical fitness brings in complete efficiency. To be physically and mentally fit, we all should include exercise in our daily routine. Exercises have numerous benefits. Almost every individual is aware of the significant role of exercises in everyday life. 

Physical fitness plays an important role in the life of students as they go through a lot of stress and anxiety, working hard for their studies and other activities throughout the year. These exercises promote good health, relieve stress and thus make learning sharp for the students. Also following a regular exercise routine ensures muscle strength, strong bones, flexibility etc. A physically fit student not only enjoys the benefit of good health but also has a sharp and focused mind. Such children perform activities of daily life with least effort and almost no feeling of tiredness and fatigue. 

Healthy and nutritious food is another important component that plays a crucial role in making a student stay healthy. Physical fitness not only adds years to life but also adds life to your current years. Children should be taught the importance of exercise and balanced diet from the beginning itself. Children who follow a proper daily schedule at home are found to be more disciplined and regular at school. These little bundles of energies can be trained to become disciplined, well behaved and active citizens of the country when they grown up to be an adult. 

Games and sports should always be an integral part of the academic program in the schools. A comprehensive physical education and training should be made compulsory to promote good health of the students. It is necessary that schools follow a curriculum where sports and extra-curricular activities are given equal emphasis as academics. Workshops on physical fitness and hazards of junk food and other health declining things should be organized in the school time to time. 

Parents are the first teacher of any child. Parents of today must make an effort to make children understand the importance of good health, balanced diet and discipline in life. When a child gets this environment at home, he learns it as a way of life.  These practices help us to avoid feelings of anger, frustration, stress, depression & peer pressure in growing children. 

Obesity is one of the common issues seen among the teenagers these days. This in turn gives rise to other problems such as mental stress, complexity etc. Exercise and sports can help us get rid of these situations as well. It not only eases the life of students but makes it easier for parents as well to handle children in difficult phases of life. Those who exercise feel more relaxed and happy during the day. Regular exercise helps control weight, risk of heart disease, blood sugar level and many other diseases, thus ensuring physical wellness of a person.
