Studies found that 30 minutes of physical activity of moderate
intensity everyday is beneficial to our health. These benefits include:
- Improving our heart-lung function and blood circulation.
- Reducing the risk of developing coronary heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes later in life.
- Building up body resistance and maintaining bone health.
- Controlling body weight.
- Maintaining our psychological and social health.
And so it is better for your
health sake to do more aerobic exercise like
jogging, cycling, swimming or playing ball games if possible.
It is not necessary to do it in one single session but it can be divided the 30-minute physical activity time into three 10-minute sessions.
How can we find more opportunity to do physical activity in
our daily life?
You may take these suggestions:
- Walking instead of travelling by vehicle whenever possible, climbing stairs instead of using elevators and escalators.
- Going for a walk or doing some stretching after lunch.
- Walking to and fro while on the phone.
- Spending less time on sedentary pastimes like watching TV or playing computer games. Even if do so, avoiding using the remote control when watching TV; also, trying to stand up and stretch during the commercial break.
