@hyderabaddoctor @hyderabaddoctor Looking forward to hearing your perspective on minimizing sedentary behaviour! Meanwhile, what simple activities do others recommend for staying active throughout the day? Let’s share some easy tips! 🌟 #EM203Robin

@hyderabaddoctor In your experience, how does prolonged sitting affect mental/physical health over time? I’m exploring solutions to reduce sedentary behaviour for a school project and would really value your perspective! #EM203Robin

@hyderabaddoctor @ZeeBusiness I love walking! As a student in the midst of exams, I could spend hours seated. Walking is the best study break activity; it wakes me up and boosts my mood. #EM203Robin #EM203Research

Morning vs Evening Walk – Which is More Beneficial? | 3 Pm youtube.com/live/S_4Nko2ka… Participated in an interesting and informative panel discussion on walking, running, yoga and exercise in general on @ZeeBusiness live TV program. Several viewers called in with their queries. Highlights were: 1. Walking is associated with several health-related benefits such as lower risk of overweight, obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. 2. Walking is also associated with reduction of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides; and increase in HDL cholesterol. 3. Walking improves insulin sensitivity and sleep quality. 4. Though morning time is preferable for walking, evenings too are fine, if someone gets time to walk only in evenings. 5. Points in favor of morning for walking: Mind and body are fresh and relaxed; weather is cooler, air pollution (and traffic) is less; you can enjoy the nature, sunrise, and birds chirping, etc. 6. Benefits begin at 3000-4000 steps per day and continue to increase until 10,000 steps per day. One can walk more than 10 k steps per day, however, any additional health-related benefits would be minimum. 7. Walking at a brisk pace is preferable (about 5 km per hour, or 100 steps per minute) 8. For aerobic exercise, one can choose between walking, running, cycling or swimming depending on the choice/preference. 9. Consistency is important. 10. About 300 minutes per week of mild to moderate physical activity is recommended. 11. Those who are busy during the week days, can compete their walking/exercise quota during weekends (over 2-3 days)- referred to as weekend warriors. 12. Health-related benefits of weekend warriors are similar to those who complete their exercise quota over 4-5 weekdays. 13. Ensuring 7-9 hours of sleep at night is important for good health. It is not advisable to cut down on sleep to go for an early morning walk or run. 14. Short 3-5 minutes of walking every 30-40 minutes of sitting during office hours is a healthy habit. Those who can not go for short walks during office hours can do 10 squats every 30 minutes. 15. There is no harm in walking 15000-17000 steps or more in a day, however, benefits tends to plateau (or increase only a little bit) beyond 10k steps per day. Moreover, one would need one hour for every 6-7 k steps. 16. Those who get knee pain, back pain, numbness of feet or any other discomfort while walking should get evaluated by a physician and physiotherapist. 17. Those who get chest pain or breathing difficulty while walking should get evaluated by a physician or cardiologist. 18. If you are planning to participate in a marathon (42 km run), you should properly train for it for at least three months. Moreover, you should get a health checkup done under guidance of a doctor. 19. Excessive exercise may not be a healthy habit, however, the upper safe limits of exercise are not clearly defined (may vary from person-to-person). 20. For optimum health, healthy diet is very important. Going regularly for walking, running or gym does not give you a license to indulge in unhealthy/junk foods.

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10… #EM203Research This study explores the physical activity patterns of medical interns and identifies barriers to exercise, highlighting that a sedentary lifestyle is prevalent, particularly among male interns, due to demanding work schedules.

(1/3) @phuo0970 created a concept map on sedentary lifestyles. A key issue identified is physical and mental health risks, including obesity, high blood pressure, and depression, which result from prolonged inactivity. #EM203problems

@EM203CMacInally Consider adding an 'Education Level' node which explores how an individual's understanding and use of available healthcare resources can vary based on their educational background #EM203problems

@EM203CFinerty Your concept map should mention the importance of educating people of all ages about healthy nutrition and lifestyle choices. This can educate young students and enable them to lead healthier lives and positively influence future generations. #EM203problems

@EM203mariame Your concept map should highlight the challenges faced by different age groups in accessing healthcare. For example, elderly individuals often require more frequent check-ups but may face mobility issues that prevent them from visiting. #EM203problems

@EM203Lat I especially enjoyed the Multi-tasking exercise. Made me realize how much better I can perform with the absence of distractions and just sheer focus! #EM203Robin

The first weeks of #EM203Robin was amazing. In the first couple of weeks I made comic strips and learned about the benefits of digital literacy. For example, it allows us to do more than one task at once (multi-tasking). Can't wait to learn more!

@Em203Navneet Throughout this course, I've learned that digital literacy is an essential skill in today's world, playing a pivotal role in how we access, evaluate, and share information. #EM203Robin

Over the past few weeks in EM203, I've explored how the internet has transformed learning and engagement. From weekly tasks on X to discussions on digital literacy, this course has shown how knowledge is created and shared in real-time. #EM203Robin

@LilDonday I also successfully completed the Sudoku puzzle! It had been quite some time since I last played Sudoku, but this class provided a wonderful opportunity to revisit and enjoy the game once more. #EM203Robin

First 3 weeks of #EM203Robin have been enjoyable learning about the digital age and doing sudoku

@aust0nmatth3ws I enjoyed the learning activity for the third "M" concept, multi-tasking. It was interesting to see how much my performance improved once I removed the distractions and noises around me. #EM203Robin

in my "learn 280 characters or less" uni course (#EM203Robin), I spent the first few weeks learning about learning in a digital age - exploring the 3 M's, and learning about the connectivism theory

@emiyasea1as Yay! Congrats on completing your first Sudoku Puzzle. I also utilized digital tools to help complete my first Sudoku Puzzle.

#EM203Robin Throughout the three weeks that have passed thus far, I have learned the different ways in which information can be presented and how to multi-task. Using different forms of information like images and videos, I succeeded in completing my first ever Sudoku Puzzle.

Digital literacy is becoming increasing important as technology continues to rapidly evolve. In EM203, I have learned the theory of Connectivism and how its concept promotes collaborative learning, digital connectivity, and lifelong learning in the 21st century. #EM203Robin
