Why is leisure important?

Answer 1

Leisure is important because your body needs to have certain periods of time to rest. Our bodies are not made to continuously go and go. If we don't take the proper time to relax and let our bodies rest it could potentially lead up to medical problems. When we are over stressed and over tired our bodies use the backup fuel. The backup that is used is meant for backup, not for regular use. When the backup is used to often that is when your body begins to develop stressed related problems. These leisure periods help to regain the fuel our bodies regularly use so we don't have to use the backup as much. Likewise, having to much leisure time can be just as bad. Our bodies are not meant to go all the time, but they are still made to go.
