#Healthyathome_Physical_activity 

The COVID-19 pandemic means that many of us are staying at home and sitting down more than we usually do. It's very hard for a lot of us to do the sort of best exercise and we normally do. It's even harder for people who don't usually do a lot of physical exercises. 

But at a time like this, it's very important for people of all ages and abilities to be as active as possible. WHO's be active campaign aims to help you do just that- and to have some fun at the same time. 

Remember just taking a short break from sitting, by doing 3-4 minutes of light intensity physical movement, such as walking or stretching, will help ease your muscles and improve blood circulation and muscle activity. 

Regular physical activity benefits both the body and mind. it can reduce high blood pressure, help manage weight and reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and various cancers- all conditions that can increase susceptibility to COVID-19. 

Regular physical activity can help give our days a routine and be a way to stay in contact with family and friends. it's also good for our mental health reducing the risk of depression, cognitive decline and delay the onset of dementia and improve overall feelings.
