stairs or elevator; A healthy choice

stairs or elevator; A healthy choice

In the morning you take the elevator to the parking lot, go to work by car and sit for hours at the table. This lifestyle minimizes mobility; While long-term sitting and inactivity are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and premature death. Climbing stairs is a simple way to increase physical activity and help maintain a healthy heart.

The problem isn't just that we don't exercise; Sometimes we don't have enough movement during the day. The short distance from the house to the parking lot, the trip to the office building, the daily shopping and even going to the colleague's room have been replaced by elevators, cars or phone messages. At the end of the day, we may have spent hours of our waking hours sitting, not realizing how much of our natural body movement has been removed.
