Walking at Work With A Treadmill Desk Could Reduce More Than 24 Health Conditions and Slow The Aging Process
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) October 05, 2011
Recent research from the University of East Anglia, compiling the findings of 40 scientific papers published between 2006 and 2010, focusing on the effects of moderate exercise (such as walking), have reported in the International Journal of Clinical Practice that regular moderate exercise reduces the health risks of more than two dozen physical and mental health conditions and even slows the aging process. TrekDesk Treadmill Desks allow individuals the opportunity to gain the necessary amount of moderate exercise to optimize health while they work.
Physiotherapist Leslie Alford of the University of East Anglia coordinated the review and analysis. This extensive research review was then published in the International Journal of Clinical Practice. Alford, summarized her findings with an urgent call for an end to sedentary lifestyles, “Physical inactivity results in widespread pathophysiological changes to our bodies. It appears that our bodies have evolved to function optimally on a certain level of physically activity that many of us simply do not achieve in our modern, sedentary lifestyles.
What is clear from the research is that men and women of all ages should be encouraged to be more physically active for the sake of their long-term health.”
The challenge is how to get Americans moving again. Moderate exercise, such as that provided by a TrekDesk Treadmill Desk, was found to have many benefits, including the following:
Decreased risk in heart disease, ischaemic and hemorrhagic stroke
Reduced risks of cancers
Reduced risk of type 2 diabetes
Reduced risk of depression
Lowers rate of high blood pressure
Decreased risk of osteoporosis
Delay in the aging process
“Science is sending the message loud and clear to corporations worldwide that sedentary office environments are responsible for the ill health of millions,” stated Steve Bordley, CEO of TrekDesk Treadmill Desks. “We are at a stage now where many enterprising companies realize that employee health impacts the bottom line. Studies like Dr. Alford’s help reinforce the point. We either move or lose.”
Designed to fit any existing treadmill, TrekDesk is an affordable, full sized workstation that allows individuals the opportunity to gain the necessary amount of exercise daily to maintain health, prevent disease, strengthen muscles, boost mood and productivity, without requiring additional time during the day or extra motivation.
