It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the idea of running long distances or hitting a specific number of steps daily, but research shows that even small increases in physical activity can yield incredible health benefits. The NHS advises that adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week. That might sound like a lot but breaking it down into bite-sized chunks – even a 10-minute walk or jog – can help you reach this goal over time.
In this month's edition of Your Health, we focus on making steps towards better health by celebrating Global Running Day, with simple changes you can make without overhauling your lifestyle. We also feature Dr Dan O'Sullivan, Occupational Health Physician at Health Partners, who discusses the early detection of prostate cancer and the key signs to look out for.
