professionals say it over and over again: exercise is good for your health. But
the Togolese population is increasingly sedentary. Lack of exercise is an
aggravating factor in many chronic diseases: diabetes, high blood pressure,
cardiovascular accidents and cancer. To stay in shape and reduce the risks, the
organisation recommends at least 75 minutes of intense activity or 150 minutes
of moderate activity per week. This is an easy target to achieve: 20 minutes of
walking or 10 minutes of slightly more intense activity (running) per day.
