Move!
The human body is designed to move. Movement is crucial to how well our bodies are able to regulate essential daily functions. ππ€Έββππ΄ββ
By the same token, increased prevalence of sedentary behaviours is having a profound negative impact on our overall health and wellness π§βπ»πΊπ±
Some of the potential negative effects are:
π₯ Increases chronic inflammation
Increases risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer
π¦ Increases chance of metabolic disorders
Increases likelihood of developing musculo-skeletal disorders like osteoporosis
π€― Can impact mental health (depression, anxiety), and contribute to development of cognitive disorders later in life (dementia, Alzheimer's)
The body needs movement to function. Low fitness (or exercise capacity) is the strongest predictor of death π. So the equation is simple:
Movement β Consistency = HEALTHIER YOU π€©π
This does not mean we have to jump from a sedentary lifestyle straight to a comprehensive gym program ποΈββ.
Research shows that committing to as little as 30 MINUTES of mild/moderate exercise per day can vastly decrease the prevalence of the health complications mentioned above! And that still leaves 23.5 hours for everything else!
So start adding 30 minutes of walking πΆ, jogging πββ, swimming πββ, cycling π΄, dancing π or yoga π€Έββ to your daily routine, and start taking charge of YOUR health. π€
Your body will love you for it! πβ¨

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesnβt have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

HAS CNN GOT IT RIGHT
Set the scene:
CNN today showed a preview of a movie about reforming Pope Francis and the clips ended with a riled up Pope raising his voice to a person - maybe a Bishop or Cardinal - inside the Vatican in Rome.
Immediately after this came on screen the headline: SINNER LEADS ITALY TO WIN IN DAVIS CUP.
Jannik Sinner is a member of the Italian tennis team.
Gave me a laugh.
