Bike for a lifestyle

So, clearly a healthy activity or exercise is a liability and must become a lifestyle. As a worker, very practically, biking to and from work (bike to work) is the most sensible option as an effort to build a healthy lifestyle activities.

In this case, with a bike to work, there is no reason for the problem of free time, because the bike to work means the transfer time is used during the course of using motor vehicles (the less there are elements of physical activity) to the time olahragadengan bicycle activity, which is certainly a physical activity more than enough to maintain our health. Surely this is more effective and efficient compared to the gym, yet also sought a treadmill and stationary bike machines.

I own a few times to read the testimony of the workers who suffered health recovery cycling. Which was often recurrent asthma, disappear abruptly relapsing. Not to mention they are excited to record levels of cholesterol and sugar are reduced because the routine cycling.

And perhaps just as the word of my new colleagues at the symposium Riskesdas, when he said, that is also important is how to try to build a healthy mind in yourself, build the suggestion and positive thinking to become a stimulus for the brain (hipothalamus) that can control work system metabolism, immune system and health system of our body. And it seems to lifestyle exercise bike to work like this, indirectly affecting the building of our minds against our own body to become healthy.

For that, a healthy lifestyle such as this should be mandatory bike towork promoted. Create government, Department of Health may, all the above things are supposed to be the momentum to continue to promote a healthy lifestyle such as bike to work this into the broader society, in addition to healthy eating habits campaign programs and programs for early detection of disease at the community level health facilities. Because, however, building a healthy lifestyle as preventive measures, would be more cost-effective.

For the workers, do not be afraid to lose the rhythm of your physical activeness when your glorious times of old when I was in college or have not worked. Also do not be afraid to start a healthy lifestyle change to start biking to and from work. Because it takes only a willingness to memancalkan pedal your bike. After that let the next round of the pedal takes you to enjoy every movement of the muscles, heart, blood vessels, lungs, and sweat glands to be so cheerful and bubbling menggeretak but it gives a new refreshment for your body.

Do not let the silent killer suddenly rob us of health.
