HEALTH. In the framework of its Grand challenge Pierre Lavoie is passed by Bécancour on June 20. He took advantage of his stop at the Quai de Sainte-Angèle, to remind the importance of physical activity to cope with the COVID-19.
“The healthy habits of life is walking, this is running, this is bike. We saw it with the COVID, one of the things that protects them from the virus, it is a good immune system. While waiting for the vaccine, which may not happen ever, put yourself in shape! You have more chance of getting through,” says Pierre Lavoie, adding that the physical activity has a positive impact on hypertension, cholesterol and diabetes.
“There is a need to focus on prevention. As we have seen, the health system has failed to collapse. There were great wars before. It has never crashed the planet as much as that. It is the human health that has grounded the economy. There are big questions to ask about this. There is a need to review our models, because we are always on the mode “heal”… are Working in prevention on the healthy habits for life. Must be taught to the younger generations and it is necessary that the cities have favorable environments to practice physical activity,” he adds.
This on-site, the mayor of Bécancour, Jean-Guy Dubois echoed this message. “It starts the Bécancourial. It is quite unique. The City of Bécancour will have a pedestrian way which will unite its six sectors for the next year. It is designed for. People will be able to do so individually or in a group with a visa. In churches, the end of the week, we will be able to do to stamp it and it’s going to be price,” says the mayor of Bécancour.
