What motivates me to continue being active in the future is that I will be able to live a longer and healthy life. Working out and eating healthy have so many health benefits and I feel that that is what’s going to keep me exercising in the future. I see myself living an active lifestyle in the future by running, swimming and maybe joining a city team sport like soccer. Three benefits of a healthy active lifestyle are that it improves your muscle and bone density, which prevents diseases such as osteoporosis, it can improve your sleep and can control some of the risk factors for heart disease like hypertension. Three possible consequences of a sedentary lifestyle are that it can increase the risk of certain types of cancer, it can contribute to anxiety and depression and it can cause a decrease in skeletal muscle mass. Two examples of healthy fats are avocados and chia seeds.
