3 major factors that influence our health &
longevity?
Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study
Physical inactivity: the biggest health problem of the 21st century
– Steven N Blair, British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2009; 43; 1 – 2
Exercise is medicine and physicians need to
prescribe it!• There is clear evidence proving the benefits of regular physical activity in prevention of chronic disease & lowering of mortality rates
• Little is being done by organised medicine to try & increase physical activity amongst patients
• There should be merging of fitness industry with healthcare industry
When will we treat physical activity as legitimate therapy •Exercise Pill
•Cancer free cigarette
•Benefits: CVD, DM, Dementia, Osteoporosis, depression, old age, certain type of cancer, many others*
Day• Too much sitting
• Poor posture: slouching
• Neck Pain
• Back Pain
• Shoulder Pain
• RSI
Night
• Sleep 6-8 hrs
• Poor posture
• Bad pillow / mattress
• Sleep is to recover & rejuvenate for next day
• How many of you feel tired when you get up?
• Improper resting is not the solution
• We are built to move
• We spend
• 8 hrs sitting in front of the computer
• 3 hrs in front of the idiot box
• 2 hrs at dining table
• We are doing nothing for 14 hrs
• >50% working population has back pain
Where are we going?
Poor posture & ergonomics
Task done over and over again
Body adapts again & again
Feel nothing & go merrily about
our computer tasks
Body can no longer adapt and
pain begins
Doesn't easily go away
