Regular movement
of our bodies is essential to life. Many people however, do not
move enough to
keep healthy!
Sitting always and getting increasingly
less active for the most of one’s daily life is called sedentarism – now a
major disease of the modern society, leading to about 2 million deaths
annually.
Sedentarism itself can’t kill, but leads to
life threatening diseases and conditions like: hypertension, cardiac diseases,
depression, stress and diabetes.
As the society gets increasingly “automatized”,
movements get substantially
limited over time, diminishing life quality and
performance in daily activities.
- Physical activity is the solution!, MOVE! Beyond regular exercises such as “gyming”,
- it is also about simple actions as climbing the stair often, walking instead of driving,
- washing your own car, forgetting the remote controls, walking to a canteen, getting off your system and walking up for regular tea breaks, walking up to colleagues e.t.c.
- Get the small actions on and grow into the regular exercises at the gym, running, jugging, e.t.c.
- but what you can’t do is stay still for too long a time everyday!!
Regular physical activity promotes health
and improves the performance of daily
activities.
Get moving and keep moving regularly and
consciously!
Thanks!
