Question

Write a letter to an editor suggesting ways to do physical activities at home to prevent health problems

Answer 1

Respuesta:

The COVID-19 pandemic means that many of us stay home and sit more than usual. For many of us it is difficult to do the type of exercise that we normally do. It is even more difficult for people who do not usually do a lot of physical exercise.

But at a time like this, it is very important for people of all ages and abilities to be as active as possible. WHO's Be Active campaign aims to help you do just that, and have fun at the same time.

Remember: simply taking a short break from sitting, doing 3-4 minutes of light intensity physical movement, such as walking or stretching, will help relax your muscles and improve blood circulation and muscle activity.

Regular physical activity benefits both the body and the mind. It can lower high blood pressure, help control weight, and reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and various cancers - all conditions that can increase susceptibility to COVID-19.

It also improves bone and muscle strength and increases balance, flexibility and fitness. For older people, activities that improve balance help prevent falls and injuries.

Regular physical activity can help make our days routine and be a way to stay in touch with family and friends. It is also good for our mental health, as it reduces the risk of depression, cognitive decline and delays the onset of dementia, and improves feelings in general.
