A big change begins with a single step. In a world where
life is confined to desks and deadlines, the practical amount of exercise that
is required to maintain your health is extremely limited. Engaging in low
intensity activities like standing, may not be enough to combat the health
hazards of sitting for long periods of time. On the bright side, adding 1 minute of walking each hour to your routine might just do the trick.
Feel
the changes
1. Brisk walking strengthens the heart and confers several benefits that low and light intensity activities can’t.
2. Sitting for long stretches can damage your health. A recent research suggests that it takes just one hour of sitting to decrease the blood flow by 50%, eventually leading to heart disease. This damage however, can be counteracted by walking.
3. It fights obesity, diabetes and inflammation. Research says that people who got up and moved around for at least a minute every hour had a 33% lower risk of dying.
4. The majority of joint cartilage has no direct blood supply. Hence, the impact that comes from a minute’s movement provides it with oxygen and nutrients. If you don’t walk, joints get deprived of life-giving fluid, which can speed up deterioration.
5. A minute’s walk amidst your long shifts is extremely crucial to release the mental stress and provide the reboot for rest of the day.
Walking as a habit should be practised and incorporated in one’s daily lifestyle. Try to set a timer. Walking for 1 minute each hour along with a proper diet will provide you with an active mind and a healthy life.
