I believe that exercise and healthy eating are needed to improve us as people. Neglecting to take care of these responsibilities can harm our bodies not only physically but mentally too. My most passionate activity is keeping my body in shape. Eating healthy and working out are extremely important to me because it gives me drive, keeps me motivated, and brings me happiness.

Depending on your eating habits and your level of exercise you can either mentally benefit or hinder. Mentally, healthy eating and exercise provides us with more motivation and drive. Taking care of our bodies can provide us with a higher self-confidence because we enjoy the way we look and are proud of what one accomplished. When I exercise and watch what I put in my mouth I feel more energized, the increased levels of serotonin makes me feel better about myself. Taking care of yourself provides an air of confidence, which makes you more likely to succeed in the workforce and in relationships. On the other hand poorly taking care of your body can put you in a bad mood because of reflections on our body images and the sluggish gross feeling from not eating well or exercising. From personal experience, when I don’t exercise or eat healthy I feel sluggish and self-conscious about my figure.

Eating healthy and exercising cannot only benefit you mentally but you benefit physically as well. People who eat healthy and exercise have less health problems and are more active people. When going to the hospital, you don’t normally see athletes having heart problems, lung problems or any problem that can be controlled by diet and exercise. I believe that the small groups of people who go out and exercise everyday whether it’s riding a bike, running or going to the gym, they lead a more stress free life style. The more active a person is the more attractive they become, they have a better relationship
