It seems that exercise is in fact medicine. Whats more, it’s possibly the cheapest form of medicine on the market! If Australian’s showed the same level of commitment and diligence in meeting the recommendations for physical activity as they did for actions like mask wearing and social distancing in the face of COVID-19, imagine the long-term health benefits and the economic savings!
Australians, on the whole, complied with requirements to don the uncomfortable, smothering masks and endure the pain of isolation, all in the name of preserving health and avoiding illness. Performing exercise on a regular basis, and reducing sedentary time has the same benefit of lowering the risk of illness and preserving health. So there’s every reason to comply!
The WHO just released their new findings and recommendations that guide us to long term good health and even longevity. Here are the details.
