Nutrition and exercising are a big part of our lives on a daily basis. Sadly, some don't take it seriously. I have been into fitness on and off for years, but have been consistent lately. And I have noticed in myself and with the changes of my daily routines and how that my life has benefited from it. I would like to share the benefits to better health.

1. Reduces your dementia risk.

Dementia attacks the brain and causes memory loss and other things with it . Benefit to being active help our bodies avoid dementia. Dancing is one of them, due to the coordination and steps is another benefit. Dancing lowers the risk of getting dementia, especially the older you get .

2. Decreases your osteoporosis risk.

One factor to exercise, is the benefits it does to the bones and makes them stronger to live a long healthy life. Weight lifting is a favorite of mine and the impact to lift heavier weights is a benefit. The coordination and right form helps the muscles and prevents injuries.

3 .Relaxing boosts your memory.

Based on studies, being more active helps the brain and getting enough rest. Rest is a benefit of motivation to ourselves and improves our performance, whether in the gym or work activities.

4.Reduces stress, depression and anxiety.

Stress is common to the average teen. To an adult, depression can cause anxiety and drives a person away, not closer, to taking care of themselves. It can lead to health issues. The positive side to exercise is it builds confidence and increases body temperature, which helps to calm nerves in our system.

5.Reduces cancer risk.

I like to state that taking care of ourselves can reduce the risk of different types of cancer for example lung, colon and breast cancers with our physical activity and what we nourish into our bodies.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
