If you want to live, you have to move.

Daily physical activity significantly reduces the risk of early death. According to research there’s a benefit even from several short intervals of activity per day for 10 minutes or less. Tired of all tips to park farther from the office and walk up the stairs, they don't just work - they can save your life. Movement moves death away. It is good for the heart, waist and brain. When people begin to gain weight, they often use age as an excuse. But although metabolism does decline by 10% every decade, it is more associated not with age, but with loss of muscle mass. People do not grow fat because they are getting old, but because they stop moving with age. Lifestyle is becoming more sedentary, muscles atrophy, metabolism slows down, fat accumulates. Stillness weakens not only the body, but also the mind. And physical activity, on the contrary, prevents depression and anxiety. A sedentary lifestyle leads to a vicious circle of passivity. When you stop moving, you gain weight and feel more depressed. Because of this, the desire to move is reduced. Movement is difficult, brings discomfort, not pleasure. You grow fat, decrepit, stop enjoying life . All this puts you on the sofa even more. Physical activity creates the opposite cycle. Movement supports mood, muscle mass and metabolism. The more you move, the easier it is for you to stay active. The body remains more toned, the joints remain more mobile, and the mind remains positive and motivated. You want to move and you are pleased to do it. Do not give up an active lifestyle. Imagine a bicycle to which a light bulb is attached: so that it does not go out, you need to pedal all the time. The same is with health. Better yet, imagine yourself a shark. Some species of sharks almost constantly need to be in motion to breathe. And people need to move in order to maintain the health of the body and mind. Without movement, you will die. Of course, not immediately, but slowly. But much earlier than with an active lifestyle. It’s not necessary to train every day. Walk the stairs. Carry the suitcase in your hands, and do not carry it on wheels. Take breaks at work or do some exercise . Move around. Live.
