Stay Active, Stay Alive!
Dr. Peter Ongwae Aondo, aka DrPOA, shines a light on an alarming trend: 75% of people lead sedentary lifestyles meaning that they are not physically active , underestimating and undermining the importance of physical activity!
Only 25% engage in regular exercise, and those who do enjoy a 73% lower risk of death,
The consequences of inactivity are dire—
equivalent to the dangers of smoking.
DrPOA recommends walking as an ideal form of exercise. Just 30 minutes a day or 5,000 steps can drastically improve your health!
Walking helps lower risks of hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, mental
health issues, and cognitive decline.
A recent survey in Bobasi, Kisii County in the areas of Bonsansa, Riobara,Irongo, Sameta, Ologare, Kiobegi, Gionsaria and Sugubo by Modify Lifestyle Initiatives revealed that only 20% of people over 40 are aware of their hypertension status.
The breakdown is concerning: 18% normal BP, 16% elevated BP,18% Stage 1 and a shocking 47% Stage 2 hypertension,
We need to act fast! Increased awareness and education about hypertension, coupled with promoting physical activity, are crucial for better health outcomes.
Let's get moving and prioritize our health today! #HealthAwareness #PhysicalActivity #WalkForHealth #BeatHypertension #FundingRequireds
