People follow three paths
to good health: doctor, diet, and exercise. Our path to the doctor involves
the greatest expense. However, there would be less expense, trauma, and
tragedy if we prevent many of these medical problems.
Unfortunately, those who decide to respond to health alerts tend to go overboard
on nutrition and to adopt the wrong exercises. Therefore, we need true aerobic exercises
that helps strengthen the heart, such as fast walking, cycling, jogging,
swimming and skating.
The best exercise to change our sedentary habits is the one we can and will
do nearly every day. Cycling exercises the heart better than walking without
the pounding of jogging. One can ride a bicycle almost anywhere, at any
time of the year, and at low cost.
Little or no time has to be lost, as bike travel can be used to get to work,
perform errands, or enjoy the outdoors. Commuting by bike reduces pollution
that causes asthma and bronchitis. A commuting cyclist is also less exposed
to air pollution than a commuting motorist.
Our vision is to create awareness about Cycling and its close relation with
our heart. So far in India cycle is considered as poor man's transport,
rich man's hobby and medical activity for the olds.
So on February 2010, let's unite for a cause and peddle our way to
a nation of healthy hearts.
