Health and Fitness Activity - Essay Example

"Health and Fitness Activity" is a great example of a paper on fitness and exercises. One very easy fitness activity that I can easily try is tying a broad belt around my abdomen for an hour before eating, and then gradually releasing that belt during the meals. This is a very easy activity as all it requires one to have is a broad leather belt. What this activity does is that it temporarily shrinks the size of the stomach so that one feels relished and full even though one has eaten significantly lesser than what one would have eaten otherwise. One concern is that this sort of activity might damage the stomach, but the chances of any sort of damage and risk can be reduced by trying this activity for only two to three weeks. This is sufficient time to change eating habits. Most of the food we eat is determined by our habits and culture rather than our needs. We need a significantly lesser amount of food to stay healthy than we normally eat. This sort of physical activity helps an individual change his/her habit of consuming food in large quantities. If this activity is continued for only two weeks, one can gradually start decreasing the pressure on the stomach afterward as consuming food in lesser quantity becomes a habit already.

I tried this activity about two months ago and found this very effective. Now I consume three times lesser food than I used to eat before, and yet I do not get episodes of extreme hunger. I enjoyed this activity but stopped wearing the belt within a month as my eating habits had already changed.
