Are you having a hard time meeting the physical activity guidelines? Or do you just find 'regular walking' downright boring?
Try silly walking! 🚶♂️🚶🚶♀️
Scientifically proven AND approved by the great @JohnCleese and his Ministry of Silly Walks.
Adults could achieve global physical activity targets by walking inefficiently for just a few minutes each day, finds this study #ChristmasBMJ
Includes a visual abstract summarising the findings #BMJInfographic

Zondag gaf ik op @dagvdwetenschap een workshop over hoe 65+'ers hun denkvermogen elke dag scherp kunnen houden (hint: misschien wel door beweging!). Na een korte presentatie konden de deelnemers de cognitieve testen uit onze studie eens uitproberen.
Een zeer leuke ervaring!

Vorige week meldde @PedroFacon dat 55% van de gehospitaliseerden zijn gevaccineerd. De meerderheid zijn gevaccineerden, dus is het toch niet de golf van de ongevaccineerden? Toch wel, een draadje. 👇 /1

Did you know that 57% of Flemish adolescents do not meet the norm of 8hours of sleep per night?
Another epidemic that needs to be solved urgently!

Janneke and Lea will develop and test a school-based intervention to promote healthy behavior @health_cascade. @FienDeBlock_ will examine whether physical activity benefits daily cognition in older adults, and whether this relationship is mediated by sleep and mental wellbeing.
