Health Briefs TV looks at the small steps everyone can take every day to improve their
health. Many people spend most of the
work day sitting at a desk. Not only
does this affect posture, but it also affects blood and oxygen circulation,
joints and bones. One easy way to
circumvent future health problems caused by sitting all day is to stand up
every hour and walk a little bit. Not
only will this loosen stiff muscles and joints, but it will also relieve stress
and improve mood. Take a break in the morning and afternoon to go outside and
walk can decrease premature death by 33 percent, a recent study found.
When
home, get in more walking after dinner.
Light gardening and even vacuuming the carpet are good, light exercise. To measure how much walking is accomplished
in a day, why not invest in an activity tracker? These can be worn on the wrist
or clipped to a belt loop. Health Briefs TV notes that these devices are
beneficial and useful to people to want to measure how much physical activity
they get in a day. Every minute of exercise we can get adds to our overall
health. Moderate exercise strengthens
the heart, muscles and bones. It will
also help people who sit all day at work then have a long commute home. It
feels good to get up and let the body recover from sitting all day. Look around
and find fun ways to increase exercise.
