Improving our physical health can do a lot to improve our mental health and well-being. It is therefore important that we look at the food we eat, the exercise we take and the way we live.
Think of movement as an opportunity not an inconvenience
Modern technology has reduced much of our need for movement. Cars now reduce our need for walking, machines do the heavy work for us, and technology such as TVs, computers, and videos keep us inactive for long periods of time. This decrease in activity has been associated with an increase in obesity and other health problems.
We have embraced the benefits of this technology and now consider "unnecessary" movement an inconvenience. It is necessary to change these attitudes towards movement.
Be active everyday in as many ways as you can
It has been found that even the most inactive people can gain health benefits if they become even slightly more active. Small increases in daily activity come from small changes carried out throughout the day. For example, making a habit of walking or cycling to the store, doing some gardening, parking your car a little further away and/or doing things by hand instead of using labor saving devices.
Exercise for at least 30 minutes on all days
Improvements in health indicators- such as blood pressure, blood cholesterol and body weight can result from doing 30 minutes of activity each day.
Moderate-intensity activity will cause a slight, but noticeable increase in breathing and heart rate. An example of a moderate intensity activity is a brisk walk at a pace where you can comfortably talk but not sing. Other examples include mowing the lawn, medium paced swimming or cycling.
