Can you ever imagine politics and fitness going together? I am sure most of them would say no. But let me tell you that this is the best combination one can take up. If a person is fit only then he can do his other jobs more accurately and efficiently, be it running a country or running a marathon race. Unfortunately for your knowledge, the politicians of India are the most unfit people. At times I wonder that if a person is not a fit politician, then how he can govern the country competently. If he cannot take care of himself, then how is it possible that he can take care of the nation? Hence, in this post, we shall discuss the funny reasons as to why politicians should be fit.
Promote Fitness among Youngsters
Nowadays, junk food has become a staple diet in youngsters. As a result, obesity is among them. So if our politicians are fit, they can work as a promoter of fitness for many. The best example is Newsom, who was a mayor of San Francisco from 2004 to 2011. Being himself fit, he wanted his people also to be fit. So he had made special laws which required the city restaurants to add nutrition info on their menus and also proposed changes in the policy for bringing healthy meals from the farms of Northern California into the city. So what say? Even our politicians should do something like this one?
To be Active and Energetic
Most of our politicians are either aged or overweighed. As a result, they often tend to be lethargic and cannot think of new strategies for the betterment of the country. So, if they get fit by doing exercise or any other activity that reduces their flab, they can feel more activeness in their body. Also, they feel energetic and can do the work for running the nation more efficiently. Said that when a person is fit, he can take critical decisions much better than an unfit person.
Self Protection
See if someone attacks a politician, or there is some natural calamity then he can fight or run fast to save himself. I know there are usually bodyguards protecting him from all odds. But what if they are dead too? So in this situation, he can save himself only if he is fit enough. And if he is not fit then, he won’t be able to save himself. Now, in this type of condition, you only decide whether a politician should be fit or not.
Keeping Oneself Busy
Everyone knows that a healthy mind is a fertile mind, while an empty account is a devil’s workshop. So at certain times when a politician gets bored with his job, mentally fit, he can think and discover different ways to keep him busy. As a result, a good impression made in front of the public of how hard he is working for the nation you see.
Discover One’s Actual Interest
Following fitness regularly may help the politicians to know themselves and discover their new and buried interests. After which they may do the work that they are more interested. Moreover, they may come to know their real passion. It may also happen that after knowing one’s desire, a politician may leave his profession thinking that this is not the right place for him and may become a singer or sportsman. Haha. How funny that would be, isn’t it?
Controlling Emotions
I am sure you must have hardly seen a politician getting emotional and crying. Am I right? Fitness helps politicians to release or control their emotions when they are in front of thousands of people.
Discover new Healthy Food Items
When a politician is a fitness freak, he keeps on discovering new food items and new ways to remain fit. So if he learns anything like this and shares with his people, he can also make his nation fit and healthy free from obesity and sickness to a certain extent.
To Look Handsome
Do you know that the fitness lifestyle enhances beauty? I am sure, yes. So, if a politician is fit his body will be toned appropriately, and he shall look more handsome. As a result, many girls will be after him. And hence, when he would stand for election, he may get many votes from the girls’ side.
Moreover, now 49% of votes are counted of women. So what say? How cool would that be?
I bet you must have enjoyed reading this post. So what do you think about the fitness in politicians? Will it help them and the nation? Let’s see. Anyways, if you want to read some more posts like this, keep coming back! I am waiting.
