MOVE MORE, SIT LESS.
A healthy lifestyle includes a range of activity over the whole 24-hour period. This includes working toward high levels of physical activity, low levels of sedentary behaviour, and sufficient sleep. Our society is spending more and more of our time engaged in sedentary activities. What we need to work towards is balancing these activities over the course of each day – so that we move more and sit less. From maintaining a healthy weight, to improving mental health and reducing the risk of developing chronic diseases and cancer, incorporating a range of physical activity into each day has been proven to improve wellbeing in many ways.
