The word physician and physical as in physical exercise come from the same Greek word physis, which loosely translates as "nature".This connection is more than just a saying.
Many people today mistakenly think of physical exercise as something primarily for aesthetic rather than medical wellness benefits, which is far from the truth. Lack of regular physical exercise is attributed as the cause of approximately 25percent of the deaths in our society today. Yet amazingly, only 5 percent of Nigerian adults engage in vigorous physical activity while the rest gets no exercise at all.
Many of us have sedentary occupations, with little or no time for exercise outside our work. Moreover, when it comes to exercise, our bodies require both generic aerobic exercise (running, biking) and specific exercise (weight training, flexibility) to keep us healthy and functional. #itagokwaife
