Move!
The human body is designed to move. Movement is crucial to how well our bodies are able to regulate essential daily functions. ππ€Έββππ΄ββ
By the same token, increased prevalence of sedentary behaviours is having a profound negative impact on our overall health and wellness π§βπ»πΊπ±
Some of the potential negative effects are:
π₯ Increases chronic inflammation
Increases risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer
π¦ Increases chance of metabolic disorders
Increases likelihood of developing musculo-skeletal disorders like osteoporosis
π€― Can impact mental health (depression, anxiety), and contribute to development of cognitive disorders later in life (dementia, Alzheimer's)
The body needs movement to function. Low fitness (or exercise capacity) is the strongest predictor of death π. So the equation is simple:
Movement β Consistency = HEALTHIER YOU π€©π
This does not mean we have to jump from a sedentary lifestyle straight to a comprehensive gym program ποΈββ.
Research shows that committing to as little as 30 MINUTES of mild/moderate exercise per day can vastly decrease the prevalence of the health complications mentioned above! And that still leaves 23.5 hours for everything else!
So start adding 30 minutes of walking πΆ, jogging πββ, swimming πββ, cycling π΄, dancing π or yoga π€Έββ to your daily routine, and start taking charge of YOUR health. π€
Your body will love you for it! πβ¨

A riddle to start the festive season π²ππ
I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?
