Broadcaster Press 5 April 9, 2019 www.broadcasteronline.com Five Ways To Move More At Work And Make It Count SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — With the recent news that even small bouts of exercise lead to significant health benefits, the American Heart Association, the leading voluntary health organization devoted to a world of longer, healthier lives, is urging adults to move more and make it count where they spend most of their time - at work. “It doesn’t matter whether you get activity in short bursts of a few minutes or longer periods of time,” says Eduardo Sanchez, M.D., M.P.H., FAAFP and American Heart Association’s chief medical officer for prevention. “Any activity - even small, short bouts – will provide a health benefit. If you have been totally inactive and start exercising, you will benefit. But even if you’re already active, adding more movement adds even more benefit.” Most adults spend the majority of their waking hours at work and find themselves with little time or energy left at the end of the day to exercise. Experts say those who struggle to carve out time for a separate workout should use any opportunity to sneak in physical activity throughout the day. Focusing on moving more and sitting less throughout the day can help - there is benefit to any physical activity regardless of the length of the activity. For adults, the American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes per week of moderate activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity, or a combination of those activities, such as such as brisk walking, yoga or gardening. In addition, the Association recommends two days per week of moderate- to- high intensity muscle strengthening activity, such as running, jumping rope or swimming laps. April, known as Move More Month, is an opportunity to examine personal habits and strive to incorporate additional daily activity. “The month of April, with its reputation for renewal and growth, is the perfect time to examine your personal exercise routine and make any adjustments needed,” says Chrissy Meyer, Communications Director for the American Heart AssociationSouth Dakota. “Move More Month can help you get started on the right path and is a good reminder that small choices to move more daily, add up to better your health.” Here are some ideas to incorporate more movement into the work day from the American Heart Association’s Healthy for Good™ initiative: 1. Take a walk on your lunch break. Don’t focus on the step count or the minutes, just move more when your schedule allows. 2. Increase your activity in simple ways around the office. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, park farthest from the door in the parking lot, convert conference room meetings to walking meetings or get up and walk to someone’s desk instead of sending email. 3. Schedule exercise on your calendar. Add exercise to your calendar and treat your scheduled time like an important meeting. 4. Find a partner. Having a partner to keep you accountable and motivated can be the key to keeping your healthy habits moving forward. 5. Take advantage of workplace wellness offerings. Ask your supervisor or human resources department what employee wellness resources and incentives are available. Starting a journey to be more active at work can inspire colleagues and lead to a healthier workplace in addition to boosting personal health and wellbeing.

Horse Owners Reminded To Consider Routine Vaccinations PIERRE, S.D. – South Dakota horse owners are reminded to consider routine vaccinations in preparation for spring and summer equine activities. State Veterinarian Dr. Dustin Oedekoven notes that the risk of horses contracting disease can be minimized with a good preventative health plan including vaccinations and practicing sound biosecurity. Many South Dakotans enjoy traveling with their horses to rodeos, trail riding, and other events. Commingling of horses from many different counties or states at these types of events can lead to disease transmission. Mosquitoes and other biting insects may also contribute to disease spread among horses. Local veterinarians often serve as reliable sources for information regarding specific vaccination selection, disease control, and biosecurity protocols. Veterinarians can also assist horse owners in meeting the health requirements for events or interstate travel. A Certificate of Veterinary Inspection, also known as a health certificate or CVI, is required for all horses and other livestock traveling interstate and to public exhibitions within the state. Laboratory testing for specific diseases such as Equine Infectious Anemia (Coggins test) may also be required. Event managers and organizers are encouraged to promote biosecurity and provide sanitary conditions for animals at events. Horse owners can help in keeping their animals healthy by avoiding shared use of feed and water buckets with other horse owners. Plan now to ensure your horse remains healthy.
