Health
The definitions of health are not limited to only one, however, according to the classical medical researches’ health is defined as the nonappearance of any diseases. The world health organization has portrayed a positive concept regarding health. Based on the recent studies in the medical fields, health is defined as an individual’s capacity to acclimatize according to the external and internal environment to which an individual is being exposed. In this global era, health is twisted as “Global Health” but again this is linked with the notions of diseases. Health in Oxford Dictionary is defined as the state when an organism, more specifically is free from any kind of disease or any infection ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"VaqLZXH8","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Karimi & Brazier, 2016)","plainCitation":"(Karimi & Brazier, 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":620,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/smYQhi21/items/UTSYE5D3"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/smYQhi21/items/UTSYE5D3"],"itemData":{"id":620,"type":"article-journal","container-title":"Pharmacoeconomics","issue":"7","page":"645-649","title":"Health, health-related quality of life, and quality of life: what is the difference?","volume":"34","author":[{"family":"Karimi","given":"Milad"},{"family":"Brazier","given":"John"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2016"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Karimi & Brazier, 2016). Following the patterns of language, health and wellness are used to portray the same meaning. However, the preferred meaning for health is described as the adapting capacity of individuals in any exposed environment. Studies have been conducted to study the concepts of health, moreover, conducting studies on the importance o health are also emphasized.

Studying health will allow and enable individuals to acquire information about the trending diseases, and hazardous factors.

FITT Principle
Physical activities or exercises are an important part of our daily life and it is also important to monition our physical activities ka ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"drARpkCK","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Katsukawa, 2016)","plainCitation":"(Katsukawa, 2016)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":619,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/smYQhi21/items/RXJMX5YN"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/smYQhi21/items/RXJMX5YN"],"itemData":{"id":619,"type":"article-journal","container-title":"Clinical calcium","issue":"3","page":"447-451","title":"FITT principle of exercise in the management of lifestyle-related diseases","volume":"26","author":[{"family":"Katsukawa","given":"Fuminori"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2016"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Katsukawa, 2016)t. For this purpose, Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type (FITT) principle is helpful to keep a record and information to monitor our physical activity program. These components of this principle are interlinked and the FITT principle depicts the effective ways to monitor the physical activities. Sometimes it becomes difficult to differentiate between different diet patterns, therefore, this principle may be helpful to prepare an appropriate diet that is healthy for us. FITT principle is another way to maintain fitness planning which will work to maintain weight ADDIN ZOTERO_TEMP {Citation}. This is the principle that helps us to keep and maintain our dietary plans properly that will enable us to reach our fitness goals. Moreover, being fit means that there is no impact on disease.
