Physical Activity Benefits: What The World Health Organizations Says?

Staying active is not just about “working out”: it’s about giving health and vitality to both our body and mind. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) agree: moving regularly is one of the most effective ways to prevent disease, improve our mood, and live with more energy.

Proven Benefits of Physical Activity in Adults

• Healthy heart: Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure.
• Active brain: Improves memory, concentration, and reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression.
• Strength and mobility: Keeps muscles and bones strong, preventing injuries and falls.
• Better quality of life: More energy during the day and better sleep at night.

What Do WHO and CDC Recommend?

• 150 to 300 minutes per week of moderate activity per week (brisk walking, swimming, dancing).
• Or 75 to 150 minutes per week of vigorous activity (running, HIIT, cycling).
• Include strength training at least 2 days per week.
• Avoid long periods of inactivity: even small movements count.

How to Start Without Complications

1. Start with just 10 to 15 minutes a day.
2. Choose activities you enjoy: dancing, walking, playing with your kids, biking.
3. Make it part of your routine, like an appointment with yourself.
4. Listen to your body and progress gradually.
