It’s no secret: a sedentary lifestyle poses significant health risks, including an increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers.Unfortunately, about 25% of U.S. adults are considered physically inactive, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, meaning they haven’t taken part in leisure-time physical activity in the last month. Meanwhile, half of the U.S. population spends nearly 10 hours per day sedentary.
A sedentary lifestyle contributes to weaker bones, poorer circulation, inflammation and potential hormonal imbalances.
The good news: taking simple steps – like walking 30 minutes a day – offers numerous physical and mental health benefits, including reducing the risk of heart disease, improving cardiovascular fitness and boosting mood.
So, to help the community take important steps towards improved health, South Texas Health System has partnered with Prominence Health to launch the Heart & Soles Club, a free community walking club at STHS Edinburg.
Welcoming individuals of all ages and fitness levels, participants are led on a guided walk around the facility while learning more about fitness and nutrition from healthcare professionals.
