Lack of physical activity is a risk factor for premature death and many diseases. But this time, researchers wanted to put a figure on the damage. In order to consolidate the data, the health risks associated with a lack of physical activity were assessed in 168 different countries. Globally, 7.2% of deaths from all causes are attributable to physical inactivity. Physical inactivity directly kills more than 4 million people worldwide each year, according to a study published in the journal « BMJ ». So get moving.

Do between 30 and 40 minutes of physical activity a day to compensate for the harmful effects of sitting on your health. The WHO also recommends 150 to 300 minutes of moderate sport or at least 75 to 100 minutes of intense physical activity per week.
