Taking the equivalent of half an hour's brisk walking is essential in maintaining good physical fitness and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases*, type II diabetes*, obesity, cancer, and osteoporosis*.
Practicing a sport helps you to reduce weight, handle stress and relax.
Easy tips:
Take the stairs rather than a lift or escalators.
Go to the shops on foot.
Give priority to outdoor (gardening, etc.) and family (walks, cycling, etc.) activities.
Reduce sedentary activities such as the computer and watching television.
Think about having a complex sugar* in the meal before you practice your sport and a simple sugar during this activity (e.g. fruit juice).
