February Keep Active Week

This Week we are encouraging everyone at Savient Limited to take time out of their busy schedules and think about their well-being and keeping active.

Our keep active week is from Monday 21st February 2022 until Sunday 27th February).  On Thursday 24th February between 3pm and 5pm, which is normally our social catch-up. Everyone in the team will be free to use this time to go on a local walk, jog, cycle or swim and if possible, join a colleague who lives nearby.

What is the aim of the keep active week?

Last year we achieved 258 miles during the week so we are hoping we can match this or complete as many miles as possible but it's also about improving our well-being and exercising whilst keeping active.

Why is it important?

Doing regular physical activity reduces your risk of having a heart attack or developing heart disease.  Keeping active helps to control common disease risk factors including:

- high blood pressure
- high cholesterol
- being overweight

Being physically active during the week is very important for your physical and mental health. Any amount of physical activity, however small is good for you.  Enjoying a walk, jog, run, cycle or swim are great ways to clear your head and stay active and activities you can enjoy with family and friends.  Fresh air and sunshine can help to improve sleep, give you energy and improve your overall health including reducing stress and depression.

How are we supporting the Trussell Trust?

For those taking part in the keep active week we will be asking for cash or food donations so we can continue to support The Trussell Trust.

Thank you for your support with our first CSR event of 2022.
