Inactivity is slowly killing you, let's combat it!

in #health7 years ago

I want to discuss a subject that's becoming more prevalent in today's technological society

INACTIVITY

A large scale study was done recently accumulating meta-analysis from more than 1 million men and women.

It showed that sitting for more than 8 hours a day with no additional physical activity was similar to that of smoking and obestiy in terms of morality risk.

If long periods of sitting time each day are unavoidable (because of work etc.) it is very important also to be physically active.


60-75 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per day seems to eliminate the increased mortality risks associated with high total sitting time.


So, move those bodies!

I want everyone in the steemit community to be healthy and live long and prosper!

I sit at my computer for far too long every day... But I've recently made it a habit to take an hour bike ride to get the blood moving - a harder type bike ride - one that makes me sweat. Since I also want to exercise other muscle groups I'll sometimes take a good long walk instead.

Man is a funny animal in the sense that he will drive his car to the gym rather than walk or run there.

Awesome! Bike riding is such a great cardiovascular exercise and it's fun! It's good to mix it up, you can only help yourself by doing so.

We are creatures of conveinence these days.

PS: This is important stuff for health!!!
