The Global Status Report on Physical Activity 2022 warned that if the 194 countries surveyed do not take urgent action, the cost of illnesses will total U.S. $27 billion a year between 2020 and 2030.
- The World Health Organization published a 132-page report that found 500 million people will develop heart disease, obesity, diabetes or other diseases if they don't increase their physical activity.
Only half of the nations surveyed had physical activity events on a mass scale or public information campaigns to encourage their citizens to work out, according to the report. It acknowledged that the COVID-19 pandemic"stalled" such initiatives and"widened inequities in access to and, opportunities for, engaging in physical activity for many communities."
"Physical activity is a key ingredient for economic and social wellbeing, yet investment in infrastructure and political commitment towards prioritizing physical activity remain low at the global level," Feigl added."And the report sets to shine light on this issue, and emphasizes how important it is that the healthy choice to be physically active needs to be the easy choice."
"We know that physical activity can make us feel better mentally and can decrease the risk of a number of medical problems," Dr. Jon LaPook, CBS News' chief medical correspondent and professor of medicine at NYU Langone Health, told CBS News."We need to change our mindset from addressing health problems after they've developed to preventing them from happening in the first place. An important step in the right direction is doing exercise and avoiding a sedentary lifestyle.

A Guide to Managing Your Mental HealthFrom our own experiences, we also know feelings of anxiety and depression can just as easily trickle into our work lives. So, how do we get better at addressing mental health at work? First, change needs to happen at both personal and leadership levels. This starts by understanding why mental health stigma exists. We still live in a world that creates a false binary between “positive” and “negative” or “good” and “bad” emotions. To escape the stigma, we need to actively engage with the discomfort that we sometimes feel in life. It starts by understanding that our emotional lives are not black and white. There is no such thing as “bad” emotions. Instead, our emotions are signals to things we care about. When we do that, it’s easier to learn about how mental health issues show up and become more intentional about addressing them, whether it’s managing our own emotional health or advocating for your team’s wellbeing, and promoting a more inclusive workplace.
