3 major factors that influence our health &

longevity?

Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study

Physical inactivity: the biggest health problem of the 21st century

– Steven N Blair, British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2009; 43; 1 – 2

Exercise is medicine and physicians need to

prescribe it!• There is clear evidence proving the benefits of regular physical activity in prevention of chronic disease & lowering of mortality rates

• Little is being done by organised medicine to try & increase physical activity amongst patients

• There should be merging of fitness industry with healthcare industry

When will we treat physical activity as legitimate therapy •Exercise Pill

•Cancer free cigarette

•Benefits: CVD, DM, Dementia, Osteoporosis, depression, old age, certain type of cancer, many others*

Day• Too much sitting

• Poor posture: slouching

• Neck Pain

• Back Pain

• Shoulder Pain

• RSI

Night

• Sleep 6-8 hrs

• Poor posture

• Bad pillow / mattress

• Sleep is to recover & rejuvenate for next day

• How many of you feel tired when you get up?

• Improper resting is not the solution

• We are built to move

• We spend

• 8 hrs sitting in front of the computer

• 3 hrs in front of the idiot box

• 2 hrs at dining table

• We are doing nothing for 14 hrs

• >50% working population has back pain

Where are we going?

Poor posture & ergonomics

Task done over and over again

Body adapts again & again

Feel nothing & go merrily about

our computer tasks

Body can no longer adapt and

pain begins

Doesn't easily go away
