Physical activity is key to an independent life:
Regular physical activity substantially reduces the risk of dying of
coronary heart disease, and decreases the risk of ailments such as
stroke,
diabetes,
colon cancer,
and
high blood pressure. Physical activity has even
been found to reduce the symptoms of anxiety and
depression, and is associated with fewer hospitalisations, physician visits, and medications.
A few minutes a day leads to years of reward:
Engaging in physical activity for just a brief period each
day can produce dramatic results. In fact, studies have
shown that just 15 minutes of daily activity can even
boost a person’s mood throughout the day.
