The gym is the place you want to be.

A gym, short for gymnasium (pl.: gymnasiums or gymnasia), is an indoor venue for exercise and sports. The word is derived from the ancient Greek term "gymnasion". They are commonly found in athletic and fitness centers, and as activity and learning spaces in educational institutions. "Gym" is also the commonly used name for a "fitness Centre" or health club, which is often an area for indoor recreation. 

What Fitness Really Means?

Our bodies are meant to move, and they tend to function better when we’re more fit. Many people strive to be fit. Fitness, after all, is synonymous with health.

Having a high level of overall fitness is linked with a lower risk of chronic disease, as well as a better ability to manage health issues that do come up. Better fitness also promotes more functionality and mobility throughout one’s life span.

And in the short term, being active can help your day-to-day functioning, from better mood to sharper focus to better sleep.

“The body achieves what the mind believes.” 

5 components of physical fitness:

• Cardiorespiratory Fitness Your VO2 max is a commonly used measure of this. It’s your body’s ability to uptake and utilize oxygen (which feeds all of your tissues), something that is directly related to your health and quality of life.
• Musculoskeletal Fitness This includes muscle strength, endurance, and power.
• Flexibility This is the range of motion of your joints.
• Balance This is your ability to stay on your feet and steady to avoid falls.
• Speed This is how quickly you can move.

Why is gym important for everyone?

Whatever your age, there's strong scientific evidence that being physically active can help you lead a healthier and happier life. People who exercise regularly have a lower risk of developing many long-term (chronic) conditions, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and some cancers.

Does everyone need to go to the gym?

And the answer is simple – it's essential to indulge in physical activity and workout according to your individual needs. However, it's not mandatory to go to a gym to do so.

What is the purpose of a gym?

The primary purpose of a gym is for people to build muscle strength, burn calories, and improve their physique. On the other hand, wellness centers, in addition to exercise equipment and group exercise classes, offer various activities and amenities.

Now, when it comes to working out, it’s important to work smarter, not harder. And anything that can make your life easier is worth its weight in gold. That’s why the gym is a perfect place to get your sweat on. It’s a competitive environment where people push themselves to the limit and put in the extra effort to be the best.

Is gym important in life?

A gym session or brisk walk can help. Physical activity stimulates many brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier, more relaxed and less anxious. You also may feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem.

“The resistance that you fight physically in the gym and the resistance that you fight in life can only build a strong character.”

Which Type of People Should Actually Hit the Gym?

Now about hitting the gym – who should do it and who should avoid it. Going to the gym isn’t for everyone, but there are definitely some folks out there who can benefit from it such as:

v Individuals preparing for bodybuilding competitions.

v Individuals who have professional goals based on looks and fitness such as models, celebrities, etc.

v Individuals who have such lifestyles that they can spare some time for gym throughout, such as people involved into huge family businesses where everyone has time for themselves, etc.

v Individuals having a lack of motivation to exercise on their own.

There are different body types as per Ayurveda (Vata, Pitta and Kapha), individuals having “Pitta” type bodies should go to the gym or swimming etc.

Conclusion

In conclusion, going to any gym has numerous benefits for both physical and mental health. Improved physical health, enhanced mental health, social interaction, increased energy and productivity, and personal achievement are just a few of the benefits of going to the gym. If you haven’t started going to the gym yet, now is the perfect time to start. Even small steps such as taking a walk or joining a fitness class can have a big impact on your health and well-being. So, make the decision to start today and take the first step towards a healthier, happier you!

VITAMIN D: VITAMIN OR HORMONE

What is Vitamin D?

Vitamin D is both a nutrient we eat and a hormone our bodies make. It keeps your bones strong, can improve your mental health and helps you sleep.

Vitamin D is actually a hormone rather than a vitamin.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for maintaining the health of your bones and teeth, supporting your immune system, brain, and nervous system, and regulating insulin levels. There are two main forms of vitamin D: vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol).

1.    Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol): This form is found in some plants, fungi, and yeast. It is also the form of vitamin D that is often used to fortify foods.

2.    Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol): This form is synthesized by the skin when it's exposed to ultraviolet B (UVB) rays from the sun. It can also be obtained from certain animal-based food sources, such as fatty fish, liver, and egg yolks. Vitamin D3 is the more potent and effective form of the vitamin.

The primary role of vitamin D is to facilitate the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the small intestine. This is crucial for the formation and maintenance of strong, healthy bones and teeth. Vitamin D also plays a role in immune function, cell growth, inflammation reduction, and neuromuscular function.

In addition to sunlight exposure and dietary sources, vitamin D can be obtained through supplements, especially for individuals who may have difficulty getting enough from sunlight or diet alone. It's important to note that excessive vitamin D intake can be harmful, leading to toxicity, so it's essential to maintain a balance.

Vitamin D deficiency can result in conditions like rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, both of which are characterized by weakened and deformed bones. Insufficient vitamin D levels have also been linked to a range of other health issues, including an increased risk of certain chronic diseases. It's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate level of vitamin D for your specific needs.

Role of Vitamin D

Vitamin D plays several crucial roles in the body, and its functions extend beyond just bone health. Here are some of the key roles of vitamin D:

1.    Bone Health: Vitamin D is essential for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestines. Adequate levels of calcium and phosphorus are necessary for the formation and maintenance of strong, healthy bones and teeth. A deficiency in vitamin D can lead to conditions such as rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, which are characterized by weakened and deformed bones.

2.    Immune System Support: Vitamin D is known to modulate the immune system, helping to protect the body against infections and diseases. It plays a role in the activation of immune cells and the production of antimicrobial peptides, which are essential for defending the body against pathogens.

3.    Cell Growth and Function: Vitamin D is involved in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. It may play a role in preventing the development of certain cancers and may have anti-inflammatory effects.

4.    Muscle Function: Vitamin D is important for muscle health and function. It helps regulate muscle contractions and may contribute to muscle strength.

5.    Regulation of Calcium and Phosphorus Levels: Vitamin D helps regulate the levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood, which are essential minerals for various physiological processes, including nerve function and blood clotting.

6.    Cardiovascular Health: Some research suggests that vitamin D may play a role in cardiovascular health by influencing factors such as blood pressure and inflammation. However, the exact relationship is complex and not fully understood.

7.    Mood and Mental Health: There is emerging evidence suggesting a link between vitamin D and mood disorders. Some studies suggest that adequate vitamin D levels may be associated with a lower risk of depression and other mood disorders.

It's important to note that while vitamin D is vital for health, excessive intake can lead to toxicity. It's always recommended to get vitamin D from a balanced diet, sensible sun exposure, and supplements if needed, under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Individuals with specific health conditions or those at risk of deficiency may require monitoring and supplementation.

The Recommended Dietary Allowances for vitamin D are as follows:

• Infants (0–12 months): 10 mcg (400 IU)
• children and teens: 15 mcg (600 IU)
• adults ages 18–70: 15 mcg (600 IU)
• adults over age 70: 20 mcg (800 IU)
• pregnant or breastfeeding women: 15 mcg (600 IU)

Symptoms when vitamin D is low

Most people with vitamin D deficiency are asymptomatic. However, if you're exhausted, your bones hurt, you have muscle weakness or mood changes, that's an indication that something may be abnormal with your body.

Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency may include:

1.    Fatigue

2.    Not sleeping well

3.    Bone pain or achiness

4.    Depression or feelings of sadness

5.    Hair loss

6.    Muscle weakness

7.    Loss of appetite

8.    Getting sick more easily

9.    Pale skin

If these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to see a medical professional. They may do a blood test to check your vitamin D levels to see if they are within normal range.  

People who could be at risk for vitamin D deficiency include:

People who live in climates with less sunlight.

People who don’t naturally get much sun exposure.

Older populations who require more vitamin D daily.

People with darker skin, as they don’t synthesize vitamin D from the sun as easily.

Get vitamin D from food

5 foods naturally high in vitamin D:

• Fatty fish like salmon, trout, tuna and mackerel
• Canned fish like herring and sardines
• Egg yolks
• Beef liver
• Fish liver

5 vitamin D fortified foods:

• Breakfast cereals 
• Milk 
• Almond milk
• Soy milk
• Orange juice 

Since there aren't a lot of naturally occurring vitamin D foods, many products are enriched with vitamin D. Always check the nutrition label to ensure there's vitamin D added.

Get vitamin D from sunlight

When your skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sun, your body creates vitamin D.

Make time daily to get out in the sun. If you don’t have classes, work or commitments scheduled that require you to go outside for the day, set aside a few minutes to take a quick walk, even if it’s just around your residence hall or the block. Remember to wear sunscreen, even on cloudy, gloomy days.

If you don’t get regular sunlight, you may need to increase your dietary intake or take a vitamin D supplement.

Take a vitamin D supplement

Vitamin D has two main forms: D2 and D3. You can absorb both types in your body. Still, studies have shown that vitamin D3 raises your levels more effectively than vitamin D2. For this reason, over-the-counter supplements that contain vitamin D3 or taking a cod liver oil supplement.

“You are what you eat, digest, absorb, transport, and metabolize,” “Same with Vitamin D. Your levels depend on the ability of your body to adequately make Vitamin D from the sun, transport vitamin D to the liver, kidneys, and cells through the body then get absorbed into the cells.” If anything is off with any of those steps, you could have insufficient vitamin D levels.

Let the Vitamin D in.
