Exercise
What does exercise mean?

Exercising is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. It ensures that the body remains flexible, the physical fitness is maintained or improved, certain blood values ??are regulated, weight maintenance or loss occurs and the psychological state is positively influenced.
The exercise guidelines for adults and seniors are:
At least 150 minutes per week of moderate or high-intensity exercise, spread over several days.
At least twice a week muscle and bone-strengthening activities, supplemented by balance exercises for seniors.
Avoid sitting still a lot.
The role of the dietitian
In addition to going through your current diet, your exercise pattern is also always included. These two are inextricably linked, since the energy balance is determined on one hand by the energy intake and on the other by the energy consumption. The dietitian can give advice on how to fit exercise into your daily life or find out together which form of sport is fun so that it’s not a 'must', but can be easily maintained.
What can we help you with?
In addition to guiding you in your new diet, we can also give you practical advice to increase your exercise duration. Think of this: go for a 20 minute walk instead of a 5 minute bike ride, get off the bus or tram 1 or 2 stops earlier and walk, park the car a few streets away and go for a walk and walk back and forth while you’re on the phone. We can also discuss the possibilities of sports with you.
