According to WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION 31% of the world population is not physically active. Which makes them deprived of various health benefits of being active. Are you one of them ? Among these 31% most of them are women and elderly who are inactive.

Women are less physically active than men. The global target is to bring this 31% physically inactive population to 15% by 2030. Together we can make everyone aware about this information. Though it is a global target but remember each one of us will be benefitted by being physically active. Our health will improve and so does the health of our family and friends.

Encourage your family and friends to be active through your social media accounts, through calls. Inspire them by being an example for them.

WHO recommends that adults should have 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous- intensity physical activity per week.

Women don’t get time for physical activity or they don’t give importance towards being active. But physical activity can save us from various diseases like cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and much more. Nobody wants to be ill. For that, we have to spread awareness about the benefits of being physically active.

Encourage everyone for walking, cycling, running, playing games so that they can easily attain 150 minutes per week of moderate-intesity physical activity.

Elderly people are more prone to being inactive due to old age. The idea is to show them the picture of other elderly people who are going to the park daily. Tell them that, inspite  of injury people are still coming to park. And it’s not false , I myself have seen elderly people who go to park daily, injured inspite of injury walking in the park.

Just like we all join our hands to fight against Covid. We, the world, are together again to spread awareness to be active.

Stay happy, stay healthy.

SPREAD THE WORD #BE ACTIVE. #WORLD IS ONE.
