More than 76 percent of Kyrgyzstanis lead a sedentary lifestyle. It's time to change.

According to the data from the Republican Center for Health Promotion, more than 76% of Kyrgyzstanis lead a sedentary lifestyle. This is a signal for change.

With the arrival of the new year and holidays, it’s time to pay attention to your health by adding more physical activity to your life.

Active sports activities help improve well-being after abundant holiday feasts and have a positive impact on overall health.

You don’t have to immediately sign up for a gym or go for a run. Walks in the fresh air or simple exercises at home are already a good start.
Holiday days are perfect for long walks in the streets, parks, or forests. The main thing is to dress appropriately for the weather and enjoy the movement.

Physical activity has many benefits:

• normalizes blood pressure;


• helps with weight loss;


• strengthens the cardiovascular system;


• regulates cholesterol and blood sugar levels, reducing the likelihood of developing hypertension, stroke, ischemic heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

According to doctors, 30 minutes of daily activity can protect against hypertension, heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and cancer.
