WELL Certification: Boosting Health Through Movement 🏃♂️ In our WELL Certification series, let’s explore Movement—a key concept that champions physical activity through smart design and community initiatives. With physical inactivity being the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality, responsible for 6% of deaths worldwide, it’s crucial to weave movement into our environments (WHO). Why Movement Matters: Combat Chronic Diseases: Lack of movement significantly contributes to high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Just 30 minutes of moderate activity daily can reduce these risks (CDC). Economic Cost: The financial burden of inactivity is staggering, costing healthcare systems about $53.8 billion globally in 2013 alone. Promoting movement is not just a health issue—it's an economic imperative. Reduce Sedentary Risks: Long hours of sitting lead to obesity, heart issues, and premature mortality. Minimizing sedentary behavior is essential for better health outcomes. Ergonomic Workspaces: Designing ergonomic environments encourages natural movement and can decrease discomfort from musculoskeletal issues. While these interventions may not drastically lower absenteeism, they can help reduce sick days (HSE). Essential for Aging: Regular physical activity is critical for maintaining functionality as we age. Improved fitness correlates with lower risks of heart disease and stroke (NIH). At ADAPTIVA, we wholeheartedly integrate the WELL Movement principles into our designs, creating spaces that encourage active living and reduce sedentary habits, fostering healthier communities. #WELLCertification #Movement #HealthyLiving #ActiveDesign #SustainableBuildings #ADAPTIVAProjects #WellnessAtWork

Internal Medicine physician with a focus on Longevity and Co-founder, at PMX Health
Yesterday, I was truly inspired by a remarkable family of five who have embraced a healthy lifestyle for over four months. They've managed to significantly reduce body fat, eliminate medication, and improve their overall health. Their collective commitment to well-being is truly inspiring. One of the most impressive aspects of their journey has been their use of a health tracking app. This tool has helped them stay on track with their diet, exercise routines, and body composition. By monitoring their body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, and other key metrics, they've been able to identify areas for improvement and make informed decisions about their lifestyle. This proactive approach has not only helped them reduce their risk of chronic diseases but has also laid a strong foundation for their long-term health and well-being. As healthcare professionals, we're constantly exploring innovative ways to inspire and support individuals on their health journeys. Imagine if every family had access to the same tools and resources as this inspiring group. What impact could that have on public health? This leads me to wonder... Is technology a catalyst for change, or does it simply amplify existing behaviors? Do people with a predisposition for healthy lifestyles naturally gravitate towards technology that supports their goals? Do certain features or functionalities of health apps have a greater impact on motivation and adherence? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Embracing Wellness and Longevity: A Holistic Approach As physicians, we are often at the forefront of addressing acute illnesses and managing chronic conditions. However, in our pursuit of treating disease, we must not lose sight of the larger picture: the promotion of wellness and longevity. True health is not merely the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. It’s time we prioritize preventative care and lifestyle medicine as integral components of our healthcare approach. The science of longevity is evolving rapidly, and with it, our understanding of how factors like nutrition, exercise, stress management, and sleep contribute to a longer, healthier life. The choices we make today can profoundly impact our quality of life in the decades to come. As leaders in healthcare, we have a responsibility to not only guide our patients on this journey but to lead by example. Let's continue to champion a holistic approach to health—one that empowers individuals to take control of their wellness, optimize their longevity, and ultimately, live their lives to the fullest. #Wellness #Longevity #PreventativeCare #PhysicianLeadership #LifestyleMedicine
