Our neighbours to the south have a day for almost everything—and this one"s a good excuse to get moving. National Take the Stairs Day, observed in the United States on the second Wednesday of January, encourages everyone to add small bursts of movement to daily life. Choosing stairs instead of elevators, or fitting in a short walk or bike ride, helps to build healthier habits. With millions living with chronic lung disease and air quality concerns growing, simple actions that strengthen our bodies matter more than ever, no matter which side of the border you"re on.
