Why is 30 minutes of physical activity a day vital for your health?

The fight against sedentary lifestyles among children remains a top priority. And on a daily basis: if you don't move for 48 hours, you lose the benefits of the movements you've produced, reminds François Carré. He concludes: "The hardest part of getting moving is putting on your shoes and getting going. And after ten minutes of effort, you say to yourself: "It would have been stupid not to have gone for it". Sport is essential for the immune system. The proof, as doctors, during Covid-19, we push for our patients to exercise."
