In order to have a good health, physicians and medical professionals advise individuals to eat food with high nutritional values and engage in physical activity such as an aerobic exercise.

An aerobic exercise refers to all forms of physical activity that an individual engages in, in order to increase the heart rate (from low to high intensity) in response to the level of oxygen required by any activated or working muscle in the human body. Some examples of aerobic exercise (cardiofitness activity) includes cycling, swimming, jogging, walking, skiing etc.
