Physical Activity & Environment

Introduction

Physical activity broadly accepted and acknowledged as being helpful for health. However, only a few citizen of United Kingdom attain the suggested physical activity and their levels, this has been seen that there is a declined trend in the physical active people in past few years. This discussion focus on how the population is encouraged to control in order to be physically active more often. It also discuss about the health benefits thorough proper physical activity and how environment plays its role in enhancing the pattern of life through physical activity, it also focus on the factors of reduction in occupational physical activity and the factors that increase the energy that has a direct impact on national physical activity levels.

There is growing evidence from United Kingdom and other countries that frequent physical activity reduces the chances and the risk to suffer from several usual or universal disorders. Apparently, the reduction in physical activity can increase the risk of diseases and clinical disorders through which a person can face problems regarding his or her health such as (heart disease), a very common disease and the cause of death around the world. The physical inactivity may also increase the risk of suffering from osteoporosis, diabetes, strokes and different types of cancer.

Discussion

Physical Activity & Common Disorders

Researchers suggested that about 40 percent of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) deaths are related with the insufficient physical activity, high blood pressure, stress, and obesity. Several of other factors increase the level of CHD such as (hypertension, high cholesterol and smoking). The physical inactive people live with approximately twice of the risk in developing CHD than those who frequently involve themselves in physical activities.

Stroke

It also decreases the risk of strokes through the blood clotting and hypertension. Physical inactivity causes the increase in strokes, and it is generally found in middle aged people. It is also found that increased level of physical activity reduces the number of stroke for approximately 1 quarter.

Diabetes

Physical activity facilitate in reducing the risk of disorders or disease like insulin dependants. It increases the insulin sensitivity by approximately 25 percent in order to help the blood circulation, adrenaline and the other concentration of the insulin; these considerations are lower in a person who is physically active. This evidences that physical activity helps in reducing the risk factor in developing the diabetes problem.

Hypertension

Frequent exercise and physical activity can help in delaying or reducing the cause of increased blood pressure, researchers suggested that the increased in activity can reduce the blood pressure problem that causes due to the hypertension and it increases the levels of advantageous high density lipoprotein and decrease the levels of harmful and unfavourable low density lipoprotein.

Cancer

Frequent physical activity is directly associated with the reducing in risks of different cancers, the risk for cancer is higher for about three times for those who are not physically active. The studies have shown the direct relationship in between the cancer and physical ...
