At the beginning of the Olympic year, the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, himself called on the French to do at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. Is it alright? What benefits can we really get from it?
“Studies have clearly shown that 30 minutes a day is enough to make a difference. In short: We reduce our risk of premature death by 20 to 30%.”, specifies Professor François Carré, cardiologist and sports doctor at the Rennes University Hospital. “It also makes you feel physically and mentally fitter every day.”
Sport is a physical activity, but Not all physical activities are sports. There are other leisure activities, but also the way to work on foot or by bike.
What to do if you drive to work?
Often people think that they can’t do it because they are driving or have a sedentary job. But beware : The thirty minutes of physical activity per day can be completed two or three times. For some people, it is easier to get 10-15 minutes of physical activity at different times of the day than to go to the pool or gym just once. For example: getting off the bus or subway one stop earlier, going shopping on foot, playing with the children in the park rather than sitting still.
However, let’s remember this THE ChildrenYou need more exercise. Up to the age of five, at least 3 hours of physical activity per day, from the age of 6 at least one hour.
Also remember that you need to maintain a moderate to brisk pace, which means you need to increase your breathing and heart rate. It means thatWe can still speak, but we can’t sing. If you walk, you must move quickly and avoid window shopping.
Is 30 minutes of exercise a day enough to be healthier?
Moderate to vigorous intensity activity has many health benefits. This helps reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and various types of cancer.
Apparently, The more physical activity you do, the better. But just half an hour of daily physical exercise has many positive effects. Professor Carré explained to me: “During exercise, muscles release myokines, substances that act and act at a distance through the bloodstream.” anti-inflammatory properties throughout the body.”
If you would like to improve your physical condition even further, You need to increase the duration and intensity of your activities. When we walk, we increase the number of steps we take throughout the day. For example, we are gradually moving from 7,000 to 10,0000. You can also try jogging and then running… you don’t have to sprint right away.
The more active you are, the lower your risk of chronic diseases. But when we settle down, Any activity is better than nothing and every minute counts. For example, it is good for your health to walk up the stairs every day instead of taking the elevator, even if it only takes two to three minutes.
