THE BENEFITS OF REGULAR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY:
Scientific evidence has proven regular physical activity improves health and reduces the risk of many diseases, including heart disease. I suggest you begin a physical activity program with short sessions of 15-30 minutes (especially if you have been sedentary) and gradually build up to the desired level of intensity. Before you begin a fitness program, especially if you’re over 35, you should get a medical examination by a physician.
Physical activity improves health in the following ways:
Reduces the risk of dying prematurely.
Reduces the risk of dying from heart disease.
Reduces the risk of developing diabetes.
Reduces the risk of developing high blood pressure.
Helps reduce blood pressure in people who already have high blood pressure.
Reduces the risk of developing colon cancer.
Reduces feelings of depression and anxiety.
Helps build and maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints.
Helps older adults become stronger and better able to move about without falling.
Promotes psychological well being.
