May is Physical Fitness and Sports Month.
Go for a walk – for your health!
People who spend more time sitting:
– Increase their diabetes risk by 91%
– Increase their cardiovascular disease risk by 14%
Diabetes and cardiovascular health issues are linked to increased adsenteeism, lower productivity and higher health expenses. Keep in mind that the average person is sitting between 7 and 10 hours a day with most of that time at work! So, encourage more physical activity. It could be the key to improved workforce health and lower overall costs.
