Did you know that just walking for 30 minutes, 3 or 4 times a

week is enough to combat aging?

According to researchers at the University of California, one of

the principle causes of deterioration of the human organism’s physical

faculties is its diminished ability to metabolize glucose. And they

showed that even leisurely exercise, like taking a walk, plays an

important role in keeping glucose metabolism functioning smoothly.

Do you spend the whole day sitting at your desk or in front of a

computer screen? Why not get up occasionally and do a few minutes

of physical exercise? Don’t worry about what other people think.

In some Japanese companies, it is even become a collective

habit. Every twenty minutes a bell sounds, and everybody gets up to

do some stretching exercises, after which they sit down again as if

nothing had happened. Japanese managers are convinced that their

employees are more productive when they are relaxed.
