Physical activity

Lack of physical activity leads to a decrease in the metabolic rate, the development of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular and neurological pathologies.

If your work is not about movement, try to increase the activity yourself. It is considered normal to be in motion for at least 1 hour a day (this is about 8000-10,000 steps). Scientists have proven that every minute of activity affects the state of the body in the long term – which means that even climbing stairs, rather than taking an elevator, already brings you closer to health.

You can increase your daily activity by making it a habit to start and end your day with a gentle warm-up. If you go to work by public transport, get off 1-2 stops earlier and walk this path. Taking breaks is very helpful if you have a sedentary job. Get some fitness, go for a walk or the pool on weekends. These measures are sufficient to maintain health and wellness.
