influence our health &
longevity?

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

12. 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

13. 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*

• Too much sitting
• Poor posture: slouching
• Neck Pain
• Back Pain
• Shoulder Pain
• RSI

15. 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

16. • 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

17. Where are we going?

18. Vicious Circle
Poor posture & Task done over and
ergonomics over again
Doesn't easily go away Body adapts again &
again
Body can no longer
adapt and pain begins
Feel nothing & go
merrily about our
computer tasks
