HEALTH FOOD TIPS

Regular physical activity including walking is an essential part to maintain good and sound health. Physical inactivity tends to increase the risk of non-communicable diseases and affect general health. An estimate indicates that physical inactivity is the main cause for approximately 21-25% of breast and colon cancers, 27% of diabetes, and 30% of ischemic heart disease.  The estimate also shows that the physical inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality and causes 6% of all deaths.  The risk of heart disease, diabetes, depression, and breast and colon cancers can be reduced by regular physical activity.  The regular physical activity vis-à-vis walking thus can keep you healthy and save your life. Expert opinion suggests that adults should do at least 150 minutes per week of physical activity of moderate intensity such as walking, cycling, or sports. 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity activity per day for children and adolescents are suggested as well.
