Physical activity and healthy weight
directions_walkMove every day
Adults should do at least 30 minutes of brisk walking, cycling, yoga or other activity on at least 5 days a week. Children should play actively for at least 1 hour every day.
Walking together in a group makes it easier to continue.
scaleWaist size and risk
A waist of more than 80 cm in women or more than 90 cm in men increases the risk of diabetes, high BP and heart disease. Measure the waist at the level of the navel while filling CBAC.
Losing even a little weight lowers the risk.
wb_sunnySleep and stress
Adults need 7 to 8 hours of sleep. Less screen time, time with family, yoga and breathing exercises reduce stress. Too much mobile use is harmful for children's eyes, sleep and studies.
Set a no-mobile time at meals and before bed.
