Health And Fitness Matter

by Sheryl Hines

I am sure I do not need to explain to you how important it is to eat right and stay fit.

Few of us have avoided the many health recommendations and advertisements that are practically every where you look.

And if you are in a relationship you may have noticed that either you or your partner is more aware of this issue than the other one.

Proper nutrition plays a vital role in keeping one healthy.

But if meals are being prepared for one or two people it is often easier to grab something on the run or have a quick snack than it is to prepare a full meal.

I completely understand that because I am very guilty of not eating right.

The reasons that your health and fitness matter in a relationship are many.

First of all you should always take the best care of yourself that you can.

Additionally, you should want nothing less for your partner.

Being healthy will mean that the two of you will be able to do a wider variety of things.

And yes, I know that some illnesses are unavoidable but we do owe it to our partner and ourselves to try to maintain our health.

A longer life with our partner would not be a bad thing!

So my suggestion is that you and your partner discuss ways to take better care of yourselves. Perhaps you will find that planning meals and cooking together will add a new interest to your life.

Or maybe you will find a weight management plan that you both want to practice.

Working together to promote your health will result in another bonding experience for you as a couple and you will enjoy the efforts much more than if you do it on your own.

The same is true about fitness. But before I elaborate on this I must say that I am not into physical activities.

I enjoy walking and biking and I like to work out. But I have never enjoyed sports.

The same is not true of my husband.

He loves to play golf and he enjoys playing softball.

Because we have different interests does not mean that we cannot share that time together.

My husband will go for walks with me and I have gone to the golf courses with him. I also watch his softball games.

Although our activities do not offer a totally shared experience we have found ways to integrate each of our interests.

The benefits are wonderful. I love our walks because it is one-on-one time.

We get to enjoy nature while having interesting conversations. The times at the ball fields are fun and exciting.

And when I go to the golf course we walk so that I can get more exercise.

With determined efforts to keep the two of you healthy and fit you will find multiple benefits.

It is another shared experience that will strengthen your relationship.

I hope that you have found some helpful tips here for how to build a lasting relationship.

But you always need to keep learning and researching for more help and expert guidance if you want to keep things fresh and current.

If you need help in your communicating you can also get more help here for how to improve relationship communication.

"You are a life Saver!!

I recently discovered this site and I can tell you that my life has not been the same. I now come here EVERYDAY and spend at least 1 hour.

I used to spend that time browsing online fashion and beauty magazine which just means that I spend more. Now I have replaced that habit with coming here.

In future I will think about contributing articles as well. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! and God bless"
