There are many different purposes of using entertainment in your life. You use it for fun, sometimes to turn off your brain, or to take a break from reality by submerging yourself in something completely different. It would be impossible to list all the ways people use entertainment, but there are some universal rules you should always follow.

One of these is that you should always try to stay active during the times that you watch TV or movies. If you don't get up and stretch during commercials, then chances are good that your muscles will suffer. This gives way for aches and pain while giving nutrients back into the system.

To truly benefit from watching a movie or a TV show, you must exercise your brain as well. This means that you should try to stay in the moment and forget about any stresses in your life. If you can keep yourself from thinking about work, your family, or other problems in the outside world, then you will find that you're able to enjoy what is usually a boring experience much more.

By staying active during the times that you watch television or movies, it is much easier for the body to receive nutrients from this entertainment. For example, when you sit down and watch The History Channel for an hour, chances are good that there will be many different foods being advertised during this time.

You have to realize that there is a good chance that you will be eating these foods during the time that you watch the History Channel. This can benefit your body, as you'll be doing all the work while getting the benefits from it.

The more of these activities you participate in, the better your life will be. You'll have given your muscles some nutrients from being active and your mind some relaxation from being able to let go of all of your problems in life for an hour at a time.

If you don't work out because it's boring, then there's no reason why television or movies shouldn't be quite enjoyable when done right. If you truly enjoy what you're watching, then chances are that your muscles will grow stronger and your mind will have a great time as well.

As you can see from the above excerpt
a) a healthy lifestyle requires a balance of activity and rest,
b) one cannot define a healthy lifestyle without factoring in the way one's lifestyle impacts their health
c) if one doesn't exercise or have an active lifestyle they are not benefiting from the entertainment they consume.

In this way, it is very important to work out as much as possible as well as incorporate activity into everyday life. This will allow one to increase cardiovascular fitness, bone density, and muscle mass by allowing for proper physical conditioning.

Exercise is also very important for the mind. It allows one to let go of their stresses and worries, by getting rid of all of the mental energy they have built up during the day.

The more exercise a person undertakes, the less stress they feel as well as their ability to concentrate increases as well. This allows them to be able to think more clearly and therefore be able to do better work.

If a person does not work out, they will notice that their ability to think and concentrate decreases as time goes on and they become more and more stressed by having less ability to control their thoughts and emotions.
