The Games celebration was so beautiful! Sport and the values of Olympism were celebrated in this beautiful Parisian setting where our French athletes shone with their talent and determination to win medals. The Games have no equivalent, they are an opportunity for two short weeks to thrill together to the exploits of the athletes.

We bet that sporting vocations will be born during this period of registration in sports clubs, we also expect an increase in demand, among others, in swimming clubs after the five medals won by Léon Marchand (four gold and one bronze). If the French practice more sport, their health will be improved and this could well ease the health insurance accounts.
The benefits of sport
All studies conducted on the effects of sport on the body are unanimous: sport is good for health, both physical and mental. Starting with the most basic physical activity that can be practiced by almost everyone, walking, whose benefits are no longer in doubt.
Sport has many advantages in preventing cardiovascular diseases through better oxygenation of tissues, by reducing blood viscosity, it also stimulates the development of new blood capillaries. Diabetics thus see their risk of dying prematurely halved when they practice two hours of walking per week.
In addition, all so-called “civilization” diseases, linked to lifestyle and diet, benefit from regular physical activity. Thus, regular sports practice would reduce the risk of suffering from colon cancer by 30 to 40% and from breast cancer by 20 to 30%.
The skeleton, a great beneficiary of physical activity
The brain is not left out. Thirty minutes of physical activity per week would reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by 60%. In addition, the musculoskeletal system will age even better with regular physical activity, which is the best remedy against osteoarthritis. The preconceived idea that certain sports are responsible for the occurrence of osteoarthritis of the knee or hip is a thing of the past.
On the contrary, studies have shown that marathon runners suffer less from their knees than sedentary people. Physical activity helps maintain muscle mass and combat age-related muscle atrophy, sarcopenia. Finally, the skeleton is a great beneficiary of physical activity, it strengthens and becomes denser when subjected to mechanical constraints. And physical activity after the age of 60 thus helps to actively and effectively combat osteoporosis.
The practice of physical activity has a direct and certain impact on health and on the prevention of diseases of civilization linked to lifestyle. If the French – carried by the great energy of the Games – do more sport, the consumption of medication, additional examinations and medical consultations, even surgical interventions, will mechanically decrease. Yes, sport is the best remedy against diseases and against the deficit of Health Insurance!
