How
many drug and diet commercials do you have to listen to before you start to
feel guilty about your own personal level of physical activity? It seems after
almost all of the commercials the line “with diet and exercise” is heard. Of
course, there is little doubt with all the studies performed that being
physically active does play an important part of staying healthy. However, it
is easier to stay active when you enjoy what it is you are doing. Not only
that, but physical activity can be performed a number of ways.
Vineeth
Maliakkal understands the benefits of living a healthy and active lifestyle. As
a high school student attending the Nazareth Academy in LaGrange, Illinois, Vinnie
Maliakkal was proud to be a student athlete. As a high school student, he had
to find the balance between doing well in school and doing well in sports, but
he did so spectacularly. Vinnie Maliakkal was both an honor roll student and
earned a valuable player award through his involvement in track and field.
Vinnie
Maliakkal participated in track and field through Hinsdale Central and knew how
important it was to eat healthy and stay in shape. The training that Vinnie
Maliakkal had to perform in order to perform well taught him that in order to
stay healthy and fit, an individual has to maintain a routine. If a person
gives up their health routine, it becomes more difficult to get back into it.
